Every day the body is exposed to environmental chemicals and toxins in small quantities. These harmful substances have a cumulative effect that can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, inflammation, bloating, allergies, and others. You can naturally cleanse your body the safe way with certain foods, nutritional supplements, and activities that help your body more effectively remove toxins.
Eat More Fruits and Vegetables
Often overlooked, fruits and vegetables are available almost anywhere and are full of vitamins and minerals that help the body to more effectively remove toxins. Fruits and vegetables also contain fiber to remove toxins and clean out the digestive tract. Get at least 5 servings a day of these foods. We often think that we need some sort of superfood to cleanse our bodies, but fruits and vegetables can do the trick as well. Eating fruits and vegetables regularly will help cleanse you of toxins more frequently, instead of trying to eat a superfood every few months.
Exercise
Exercise increases heart rate, blood flow, and oxygen intake to allowing for better removal of waste and toxins from cells. Exercise that causes you to break a sweat is most beneficial as toxins are released form the body through the process of perspiration. Fat cells contain the most toxins, so exercise can help you lose unwanted fat cells to reduce toxins. You can exercise at home or at a health facility, just be sure to get an hour nearly every day.
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera has many health benefits to help cleanse the body and there are some Aloe Vera uses that you haven't ever heard of, or haven't tried yet. Taken internally, Aloe Vera can help keep the entire digestive system clean and working more efficiently so wastes can be more effectively eliminated from the body. Aloes medicinal uses can help reduce inflammation and boosts the effects of antioxidants for increased removal of toxins. Aloe vera can be found in supplements or liquid form. Follow product instructions for dosing. If diarrhea develops, lower your dose. Aloe vera works best when combined with more fruits and vegetables and a consistent exercise regime.
Chlorella
This little superfood is a single-celled algae that bonds to toxins, including metals and harmful chemicals. This food works in the digestive tract to allow proper removal of toxins through naturally occurring waste-removal processes without affecting necessary minerals necessary for proper health and body functioning.
Those suffering from symptoms associated with the buildup of toxins within the body should try one of the methods above to safely and naturally remove these harmful substances to help prevent additional negative effects on the body. Once you have removed toxins from your body, do your best to keep them out by eating healthy and being careful about the hygiene products you use, as those may carry harmful chemicals.
