There are many ways to do a health cleansing. However, some of these can be ineffective or unsafe. You can gently and naturally cleanse and detox by trying some different methods. Not all detoxes have to be intense or detract from your daily routine. Here are some ideas for natural methods that are easy to incorporate into your routine.
Fasting
Fasting involves not eating for certain periods of time. There are many different time frames for fasting, from intermittent fasting to longer periods (such as 24 hours). Fasting forces your body to go through a process that it usually does not go through on a daily basis. Once the usual access to glucose changes, your body cells begin a different process that also cleanses the body of toxins.
Colon hydrotherapy
Colon hydrotherapy is a natural way to cleanse your body of buildup. The procedure is quick and does not interrupt your daily life. It is an easy method of getting rid of toxins that have built up in your body.
As far as affording this treatment, the average cost for colon hydrotherapy is reasonable, especially considering it is an investment in your health.
Eliminating certain foods
Not all foods are gentle on the body, and you can cleanse your body by working on an elimination diet. If you suspect that you have any food sensitivities, you can work on taking those out of your diet to see how you feel.
You start by eliminating foods that you suspect are triggering your symptoms for 2-3 weeks, and then later reintroducing different ones to see how your body reacts. An elimination diet can be fairly restricting, but ultimately it helps you to identify foods that don’t work well for you and can be life changing.
Liquid diet
There are a variety of liquid diets, from clear liquids to fruit juices, to basically any liquid form of food. The premise behind this is that liquids are easy to digest and allow your body to clear the digestive tract more easily. From kale smoothies to chia drinks, the liquid diet strategy may help your body.
Fasting has become my favorite way to detox my body. It forces me to drink a ton of water to fight back the hunger which is actually quite good for my health anyway.
