Detoxifying Our Bodies.
Our bodies absorb toxins daily. Toxins can be in the food that we ingest or the air that we breathe, the water we drink as well as smoke, pesticides, mold, make-up, shampoo, cleaning products etc. We can do a handful of things to help our bodies detox naturally. Eating healthy, using products that are chemical-free around our homes, and most importantly getting adjustments. Some of the signs that toxins are in your body are fatigue, difficulty sleeping, indigestion, food cravings, weight gain, and reduced mental clarity.
Our body is set up to detoxify itself through various organs such as the liver, kidneys, intestines, lungs and skin. A good detox plan is 2-fold. First, limit the amount of toxins entering your body. Secondly, the use of key supplements to support the organs of detoxification so they can work more efficiently.
There are many benefits of detoxing our bodies. Doing a purification cleanse through Standard Process a great way to help our bodies detox. Not only will it kick start weight loss, but it can also boost your energy, improve your skin, and your immune system. The cleanse also helps with mental clarity, your ability to cope with stress and balance your hormones.
One of the best way to help your body during the 21 day cleanse is to drink water. Water keeps cells hydrated, helps maintain a healthy balance of body fluids and eliminates toxins from the body. You should be drinking half your body weight in ounces daily. For many individuals it is hard to drink this much water, so some tips for drinking more are:
Carry a reusable water bottle.
Add flavor to your water (lemon or cucumber).
Combat fatigue with water over sugary or caffeinated drinks.
Drink water before, during and after exercise.
Enjoy a cup of non-caffeinated herbal tea.
