10 Ways To Detoxify Your Body And Reclaim Your Youth, Energy And Vitality

By:


Detoxification is the process of purifying of the body by removing toxins. Our bodies are naturally designed to eliminate toxins through our skin, liver, kidney and lungs. Unfortunately due to the massive amount of toxins in our air, water and food supply today our bodies are unable to naturally "keep up" with the amount of toxins invading us daily. This can lead to fatigue, obesity and a multitude of serious health problems. It is necessary for us to take extra steps to detoxify our bodies in order to reclaim our youth, energy, health and vitality.

So how do we lose weight, prevent disease and reclaim our health and vitality?

Detox.

From the food we eat to the air we breathe to the water we bathe in, toxins invade our body daily.

Toxins cause our livers to become sluggish and to not function properly. This causes our organs to stop metabolizing fat effectively and we gain weight. The more toxins we accumulate, the more weight we gain. Even worse, the more we weigh, the more toxins we can then store.

Because of the massive amount of toxins in our food supply today, and because we are exposed to them on a daily basis, our bodies become overwhelmed and unable to properly process and eliminate them.

Here are ten tips to help you start detoxing today and reclaim your natural youth, energy and vitality:

1. Drink green tea.
Ditch the coffee and switch to tea. EGCG, a powerful antioxidant found in green tea, helps the body burn fat. Vitamins A, C, E, and the polyphenols found in green tea also help your body reduce the time that toxins stay in your system.

2. Do a juice cleanse.
The juice cleanse essentially means you drink juice throughout the day, every day for a specified period of time. Your juice must be freshly squeezed and organic. This can be done for 3 days, 10 days or 30 days. It depends on your level of discipline, your levels of toxicity and your health goals. If you have never done a juice fast before then just start slow- you should start seeing results right away!

3. Eat only organic fruits and vegetables.
Conventional fruits and vegetables are full of chemicals, toxins and pesticides that harm your body. Organic produce is grown without the use of harmful pesticides and artificial fertilizers. The sooner you stop polluting your body with these toxins, the sooner you will start to look and feel healthier!

4. Don't drink diet soda.
When companies make something "sugar free" or "diet" as in diet coke, they put an artificial sweetener in the product to make it taste good. Sweeteners use aspartame in diet sodas instead of sugar. Aspartame is a toxin and and a carcinogen.

5. Invest in a shower filter.
Your tap water is not good for your body. Tap water can contain pesticides, toxic bacteria, viruses and traces of human and animal waste. Each time you take a shower or drink out of the faucet you are ingesting dangerous toxic chemicals. Filtering your water will help you detox and also vastly improves your the health and look of hair and skin!

6. Add coconut oil to your meals:
Virgin coconut oil can be added to your everyday meals as a substitute for your cooking oil. Coconut oil has been used in tropical cultures for thousands of year as a weight-loss aid and normal part of everyday life.

Coconut oil lowers cholesterol, gives you increased energy, and gets your body into fat-burning mode for the rest of the day! It improves digestion, promotes weight-loss and helps keep skin and hair looking young and healthy.

7. Add apple cider vinegar to your diet:
Apple Cider Vinegar helps detoxify your liver. You can use it as salad dressing or drink it with water. Take 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar mixed in water before every meal to aid in weight-loss.

8. Dry-brush before you shower.
Buy a dry brush and aim to brush your skin before every shower. Dry brushing removes dead skin cells and toxins helping you lose weight and have beautiful glowing skin.

9. Use only organic and natural beauty products.
Most of our beauty products are full of toxins, preservatives, and even poisons. These are put in our products in order to give them a longer shelf life and only profits the company; not the consumer.

10. And finally...fiber!
Fiber is a natural detoxifier because it helps your meals move along your gastrointestinal tract and helps flush your body of metabolic waste. Fiber also keeps your energy levels high, while slowing your rate of carbohydrate digestion, which helps maintain blood sugar levels.

The more toxins you eliminate from your body, the more weight you will lose, the more energy you will have and the more healthy you will become!
