We’re made up of mostly water, so it only makes sense that our bodies would need us to consume some on a daily basis. Water is one of the most

reliable ways to detox your system because it’s a calorie-free drink that contains nothing but oxygen. Water will flush out toxins and increase your metabolism so that you can even

shed a pound or two during the detoxing process. You can drink water plain or add some lemon to improve digestion, cinnamon to regulate your blood sugar or strawberries to

get a boost of antioxidants. Click here for some detox water recipes.

Did you know that the air in your house has anywhere between 3-7 times more air pollution than the  air outside? This is one of the many reasons why it’s a good

idea to walk around the block in the mornings or after dinner, and to deep breathe while you’re doing it! By breathing through your nose for a couple of seconds, holding it

for five more and releasing the air through your mouth, you are able to remove a significant amount of CO2 gas from your body. (It helps to calm your stress

levels too.)

Eating some fermented foods is another way to detox your system. The main reason this works is because it helps to restore good bacteria into your digestive tract. That is

what ultimately helps to strengthen your immune system over time. Some of the foods you should include on the list are yogurt, sauerkraut, pickles, beets and even beer (in moderation,

of course).

This just might be your “something new” for the day! Who would’ve thought to put some mustard into their bathwater? But yep. It’s an ingredient that can also help to

detox you. By combining a half-cup of baking soda and Epsom salt, a few drops of peppermint, tea tree or eucalyptus oil and one-third cup of dry mustard powder, it

will soothe achy joints and muscles. It will help to remove toxins out of your skin too.

Your skin sheds dead skin cells on a daily basis (which is why it’s important to change your sheets on a weekly basis). Something that can speed up the process

is dry brushing. Don’t use your hairbrush! Pick up one from a local body supply store instead. Brushing right before you get into the shower will help to exfoliate your skin,

leaving a healthier-looking complexion behind.

There’s a specific kind of massage known as a “detox massage”. What it does is detoxify your body’s lymphatic system so that waste is able to move throughout your body

quicker. A detox massage can also increase blood circulation and reduce cortisol levels in the body.

A lot of our digestion systems are not as healthy as they should be simply because we snack too much in between meals. Research reveals that eating three square meals a

day helps our bodies to digest food more properly. If you can’t imagine going throughout your day without a snack, or you’d like something to give you a extra energy,

snack on a healthy fibrous food like apples, carrots, pears, berries or even some coconut. You might want to go with a fresh fruit smoothie too! They’re all good for you

and won’t work against the detoxing process.
