Will Learning To Detox Your Body Protect Your Immune System
I’ve always considered myself to be fairly healthy and in reasonably good shape. I very rarely got ill, and can’t remember the last time I had a cold or virus of any kind – or at least not that lasted longer than about 12 hours. So it was completely out of the blue when I began feeling constantly tired and lethargic, and getting out of bed in the morning was becoming quite a chore. I’d visited the doctor several times and had quite a few blood tests, but they couldn’t find anything wrong with me.
As luck would have it, not long after I met up with a naturopath who recommended I was in need of a natural detox, and put some effort into learning to detox your body and how my eating habits may be affecting my health. It sounded like a good idea, so I decided to learn all about it, and why so many alternative and complementary health practitioners advocate regular detox dieting and suggest getting started with the 7 day detox diet so strongly.
Something else she recommended I try was a foot detox. I have a foot spa two or three times a week now, if I have the time, if you don’t want to invest in a foot spa, the foot detox patches can be just as good – although your don’t get the relaxing foot massage at the same time
So here’s my top tips about how to detox your body.
Make sure you drink plenty of water
One of the most important things you need to is drink lots of water while you are following a detox diet as it helps to eliminate water-soluble toxins from your body. It also helps to prevent constipation, reduce bloating, and encourage clear skin. Your goal should be to drink about 8 glasses (or 2 liters) of water each day, but increase that when the weather is hot.
As a guideline, aim to drink an extra half liter of water for every hour you exercise. The best water to drink is home filtered tap water, or boiled water which has cooled, or bottled water. Ideally drink water that is at room temperature. If you don’t always fancy water, herbal teas – loose leaf tea is the better option if it’s available. Peppermint, camomile, dandelion root, horsetail and yarrow are particularly good as their additional properties naturally support the detox process. Roibosch and green tea is especially healthy as it is a rich source of natural antioxidants.
Should You Go Organic
Buying organic produce where possible is better for your health but not totally necessary, unless you can afford it, but selecting just a few organic ingredients will be a step in the right direction.
If you can’t find or afford organic fruits and veggies, it’s not a problem. Concentrating on eating fresh (and ideally raw) fruit and veg is the main point regardless of them being organic or not, rather than not get enough of them. However, there are some good reasons for concentrating on organic food on a healthy detox diet.
Organic foods are free from artificial pesticides and sprays, so they contain the lowest possible amounts of artificial, potentially toxic chemicals (such as nitrates). The practice of organic farming is very contentious due to the fact that there’s a lot of evidence that the accumulation of pesticide residues may be related to a lot of the serious health issues we face today.
Organic foods undergo minimal processing. Ultimately this means organic foods not genetically modified and are free from hydrogenated fats and artificial additives. Certain organic foods taste better and have more flavor.
