With spring approaching, our bodies naturally begin a process of renewal. During this time of the year, many may also consider a whole-body cleanse. Before starting an expensive program, consider these alternative ways to support the body without the price tag.
- Eliminate Toxins Sweating is a way in which our bodies expel toxins. Aside from exercise, a few options to detox are to utilize a steam room or sauna. Ask your gym about these amenities!
- Control Incoming Toxins Eat organic or consume foods not heavily sprayed with pesticides. Lowering the toxin load on the body can have a tremendous effect on how you feel. Check out the Environmental Working Group’s “Dirty Dozen” and “Clean Fifteen.” These lists of fruits and vegetables are tested yearly to determine the number of pesticides each product contains. Even if some people cannot afford organic, they can avoid heavily sprayed foods listed at the top of the “Dirty Dozen” list and choose foods that are locally grown. Check out www.ewg.org for 2019 listings.
- Remove Toxins with Food One way is to add cilantro to your smoothies, salads, or meals. The body releases toxins that may recirculate in the blood unless they bind to something to be carried out. Cilantro is a fantastic herb that acts as a magnet or “binder” to toxins like heavy metals and safely removes them from the body.
As always, consult a medical or health professional before starting a detox or cleanse program.
