Natural Detox

Natural detox is one of the safest ways in which to rid the body of disease causing toxins. The human body does perform its daily routine of detoxification through different organs such as the kidneys, the liver, the skin, the digestive tract, as well as the lungs - all of which help to eliminate toxic gases, harmful chemicals, heavy metals, and solid waste from the body.

However, even with its daily detox, the body just does not have the ability to remove all the different toxins that we take in each day. Thus, detoxification becomes necessary for a healthy body. In this article, we will talk about different ways of natural detox that help to eliminate toxins effectively.

1. The Lemon Juice Detox Diet:

This is a very simple detox diet to follow. You simply add the juice of one lemon to a glass of warm water and add a teaspoon of honey to it. Drink this mixture each morning first thing when you wake up. You can have the drink one more time during the day or before you sleep but should have it at least once a day. During the day you can have your regular diet but make sure to drink at least 8-10 glasses of plain water. The lemon juice detox should be a part of your daily routine and can be continued without interruption. This helps you to detoxify on a daily basis and prevents accumulation and absorption of toxins in the body.

2. Fruit Detox Diets:

Fresh fruits contain high amounts of antioxidants, essential minerals and bioflavonoid and are thus great for detoxification. Juices of fruits such as apples, watermelon, oranges, sweet lime, grapes and strawberries are very helpful for removing toxins from the body. You can also do a rapid detox by having only fruit juices for a period of 48 hours.

Alternatively, you can also detoxify using fruit smoothies. In addition to detoxification, fruit smoothies help to restore your energy levels and cleanse your colon effectively. Here’s an easy-to-make recipe for a fruit smoothie:

• Use apples, pears, or peaches as the main ingredient for the smoothie.• Add the juice of one orange to the mix.• Add one teaspoon of flaxseed to the mix. If you do not like flaxseed, you can also use raw granola or oatmeal. • Blend everything together, add a pinch of salt, and your smoothie is ready.

Make sure you use fruits that are not contaminated with any chemicals or pesticides. You can also replace smaller meals with the fruit smoothie, thus aiding your weight loss efforts in addition to detoxifying.

3. Turmeric Tea Detox:

The main active ingredient in turmeric is known as curcumin. This ingredient has immense free radical fighting properties that don’t just make it great for detoxification, but is also very helpful in the prevention of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. A simple way of incorporating turmeric in your diet is by drinking turmeric tea. Add half a teaspoon each of powdered turmeric and ginger to two cups of boiling water. Gently simmer for about 8-10 minutes. Pour the tea into a cup and add one teaspoon of maple syrup and juice of half a lemon to it. You can have this turmeric tea every day.

Thus, by using the various diets for natural detox as mentioned above, you can ensure that your body is free from harmful toxins that contribute to ill health.
