If you want to feel healthier and stronger, an all natural detox can bring renewed balance and vitality as well as improving your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Everyday, we are constantly being exposed to toxins in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink. We are bombarded with environmental pollutants and contaminants that accumulate in our bodies and cause many health problems or illnesses. An overload of toxins in our system can leave us feeling sluggish or anxious, affect our sleep patterns, cause unhealthy cravings, and hinder the body's ability to heal itself, which can lead to sickness or disease.

By learning how to detoxify naturally and adapting a healthier lifestyle, you can restore your systems to a clean, pure state and enjoy all the benefits of a body that is functioning properly and efficiently.

Detoxifying your body can be intense, so it is vital that you follow important guidelines to ensure that you are gaining all the advantages without causing any harm or reducing the effectiveness of your program.

An all natural detox will clean and restore while still giving you all the nutrition you need for building a strong, healthy body.

1. Eat lots of organic fruits and vegetables.

Even if you do not normally buy organic produce, it is advisable that you do so while on the detox program so that you are not adding additional chemicals to your body. Raw fruits and vegetables are easy to digest and provide the fiber to cleanse your system while also supplying high levels of vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals that help to heal and protect your body.

2. Drink 2-2.5 litres of clean water each day.

Up to 70% of our bodies are water, and sufficient hydration is required for our organs to function properly. Clean water is needed to eliminate waste and flush accumulated toxins, and also helps the kidneys and liver operate more efficiently so they can do their job of cleaning and purifying.

3. Increase your intake of detox superfoods,

Particularly leafy green vegetables such as spinach, kale, lettuce, and parsley. These superfoods are very effective at carrying chemicals and heavy metals out of the body, helping the liver deal with toxins, and reducing the risk of infection or illness by building and strengthening the immune system.

4. Avoid coffee and other caffeinated beverages.

Coffee is toxic and caffeine is reported to cause dehydration and accelerated aging, so consuming caffeinated beverages is really counterproductive to the detox process. Try to drink herbal teas, or even natural detox teas that will help aid in purifying -- and complement, rather than hinder, your program.

5. Exercise.

Not only is exercise important for physical fitness and heart health, but it is also a key element in detoxifying your body. Sweating releases toxins through the pores of the skin, and cardiovascular exercise accelerates deep breathing, which also helps the body remove contaminants.

In addition, working the muscles breaks down and releases the toxins and residues that are trapped or stored in the fatty tissues so they can be removed from the body.

An all natural detox will help restore your body and mind so you can feel better and enjoy all the benefits of being toxin free.
