Detoxification of the body

April is the month of Spring that gives us the opportunity to take care of our body. Maintaining a clean body is in great measure the key to a healthy lifestyle. People have been trying to detoxify their body naturally for thousands of years, applying various techniques in order to improve the balance between mind and body.

Nowadays people still choose to detoxify their body to look and feel better. Modern diets usually include a lot of processed foods, which may cause build up of toxins. The detoxification of the body can be one of the best ways to restore its natural balance. You can try one of the following safe and effective ways to detoxify your body naturally.

A weakened digestive system will not filter toxins from the blood effectively. A popular way to start the process of detoxifying your body is intermittent fasting. This can be done in two ways.

The first way is daily fasting, i.e. restricting calorie intake to a set period of time each day, usually 8 hours. For example, one can eat from noon until 20:00 every day and fast from 20:00 until noon the next day.

The second way is to greatly reduce calorie intake for 2 to 3 days. In some cases this means consuming only water, while in other cases people choose to incorporate fruit juices into their diet.

Another way to naturally detoxify your body is the increase of the blood flow to the body. Regular exercise can help increase blood flow and improve overall health. Exercise your muscles daily to increase circulation and blood flow, stimulating your liver and digestive system and helping to speed up the removal of toxins from your blood.

Another great way for the expulsion of toxins from the body is cleaning of the diet. Cut out substances such as caffeine, alcohol and nicotine. Reduce your intake of processed sugars and saturated fats. This means that you should avoid most processed foods during detoxification. The clean diet will make it easier for the body to naturally detoxify and maintain a low level of toxins in your body.

Another way to detoxify your body is to reduce the number of toxins you come in contact with on a daily basis. During this period, you should limit the use of commercial cleaning products. This includes things like household cleaners full of harsh chemicals. Prefer a natural substitute such as essential oils, which can naturally clean almost any surface in your home.

Although it is not easy in practice, minimizing stress levels can largely help in keeping the body in balance. Stress activates the release of cortisol, a hormone that has been linked to countless adverse health effects. These include weight gain, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease. Restricting cortisol in the bloodstream can greatly help the body get rid of other toxins.

The lymphatic system carries all the useless elements from the tissues and leads them for elimination from the body. When the lymphatic system blocks, we observe swelling in our body. Lymphatic massage activates the lymph and manages to help the rapid detoxification of the body.
