5 Quick and Easy Detox Habits For Better Health

With all the toxins we’re exposed to, it’s a great idea to do a comprehensive body detoxification twice a year that includes taking a formula like Clear Body Detox with its unique blend of herbs and active homeopathic ingredients that dextoxify and nourish the liver, kidneys, and blood.

However there are quick and easy things we can do every day to help our body expel toxins. The most important element of detoxification – or keeping it clean on the inside -- is a diet rich in whole, raw, organic foods and plenty of filtered water. But here are five super easy habits you can incorporate into your daily routine that will promote detoxification and have an overall positive effect on your health. The beauty about these habits is that incorporating them will only take an extra 10 or 15 minutes each day.

Easy Detox

 

1. Brush Your Body – Buy a loofah sponge or natural bristle brush with a long handle and spend 5 minutes every morning before your shower dry brushing your body. This removes dead skin and toxins, improves circulation and promotes healthy looking and feeling skin.  

2. Scrape Your Tongue – A lot of bacteria, toxins and food debris build up on our tongues, and scraping your tongue once a day can reduce this nasty debris. Besides being a great way to detox, tongue scraping improves breath and promotes healthy gums and teeth. 

3. Wake Up Your Water – Add fresh lemon juice and two teaspoons of freshly ground flaxseed to your glass of water first thing in morning to kick-start and cleanse your digestive system.

4. Pick Up Probiotics – our body is full of bacteria, some of which is good and some bad. When the bad bacteria overrun the good, our immune system weakens and we are more susceptible to infections, viruses and fungus.  Taking probiotics every day before meals helps replenish and strengthen the good bacteria in the body, minimize the bad bacteria, and keeps the intestines clean and free of toxic buildup.

5. Drink Tea – There are numerous teas formulated to promote detoxification and green tea is known for its powerful yet gentle detoxification and healing properties. If you can’t fathom switching your morning coffee for tea, add a cup or two of organic green tea in the afternoon for a detoxifying pick-me-up.

Best in Health!
