7 Easy Ways to Detox Your Body Naturally

Detoxing your body has become increasingly popular in the health and wellness industry, but contrary to most trends, there are many studies showing the benefits of a body cleanse. The beauty of this is that you are already detoxing your body naturally without even thinking about it.

Everyday life with chemicals

The immune system, liver, kidneys, skin, respiratory system and intestines continuously work together to get rid of dangerous toxins and chemicals.

Still, sometimes you should give your body a little extra support for the detoxification process.

Every day, your body is exposed to chemicals, toxins, and parasites through your immediate environment. The deodorant you use every morning, the cleaning products you use to scrub the toilet and get a shiny floor, the air you breathe in your home, and the additives in the food you eat can all affect the pollution in your body.

And it is precisely this environment that can overload your natural detoxification process and make it difficult for the body to remove toxins on its own.

In addition, the Christmas holiday can put an extra strain on your body if you eat a lot of fatty and sugary foods, and drink more alcohol than usual.

7 simple detox habits

Here are 7 easy ways to detox your body naturally, so you'll feel back in tip-top shape in no time!

DRINK MORE WATER
If you're feeling tired or bloated, a couple of glasses of water could make all the difference! Water effectively transports waste products out of the body through urine, breath and sweat. In addition, metabolism increases by 30% within the first hour after drinking half a liter of water.

CLEAN FOOD
Skip the processed foods and eat clean ingredients instead. Instead of a blueberry muffin, eat oatmeal with fresh blueberries! Make a fruit smoothie or vegetable juice for breakfast. Make a simple salad or soup for lunch with fresh vegetables and lentils or beans. Eat your fruits and vegetables!

INCREASE YOUR SULPHUR INTAKE
Sulfur is the body's fourth largest mineral, and it is especially important for the body's most important antioxidant glutathione, which helps detoxify the liver. Our OptiMSM+C is made with sulfur and is the world's purest MSM. We have also added vitamin C, which increases the absorption of MSM and supports liver detoxification.

ACTIVITY
Exercise promotes the detoxification process by giving your body's systems a real boost, increasing blood flow and eliminating toxins. Aerobic exercise makes you sweat and toxins are released through your skin's pores.

CHEMICAL-FREE HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
The total amount of chemicals we are exposed to in our everyday lives is high for most people and can be a good reason in itself to take a natural detox. The best thing to do is replace your shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, hand soap, cleaning products, laundry detergents, etc. with chemical-free and natural alternatives. Even your non-stick frying pan should be replaced!

BATHROOM
A fantastic way to detox is to use a sauna regularly. The high temperature causes our body temperature to rise, the blood vessels to dilate and cause increased blood flow. The nervous system signals the sweat glands to activate, they produce sweat and with heavy sweating in a sauna you can get rid of toxins such as lead, mercury, zinc, copper and other chemical substances that we are all too often exposed to today and that our body absorbs.

SLEEP
Getting enough sleep is possibly the best detox for the body. When we sleep, the brain works to remove all the waste products that have accumulated throughout the day. At night, a fluid is pumped into the brain that cleanses the brain cells of waste products. This natural cleansing of the brain is very important and it means that lack of sleep can prevent the cleansing from being optimal.
