Tips for Enhancing Detoxification
Lemon Water
Drink 1 cup of hot water with 1/4 lemon and 2 pinches of cayenne pepper first thing upon waking (on an empty stomach). This is very simple but you would be amazed how many people say they can’t live without it once they start!
Warm Bath with Epsom Salts
Take a warm bath with Epsom salt added to soothe, relax and detox. Additionally you may rub on the salt with a warm, wet washcloth in bath or shower. Very invigorating!
Shower Hydrotherapy
Try your own ‘hydrotherapy’ in the shower by alternating hot/cold. This stimulates circulation and your immune system. You can also do a sauna/cold shower/sauna etc., if you belong to a gym. This is not for the squeamish, but it is very invigorating! You’ll feel like a million bucks when you’re done. Of course, just a sauna and a shower are beneficial as well.
Living a Detox Lifestyle
Beware of Plastic
Never heat food in plastic, as this process releases harmful chemicals that can seep into your food. Use glass or ceramic instead.
Skin Brushing
To aid in lymphatic drainage, use a dry, natural fiber shower brush or loofah to massage your entire body before you shower or bathe. Start at the toes, and gently scrub, using circular motions toward your heart.
Clean Water
Public tap water is often contaminated. Drink and cook with only pure, filtered water and consider adding a filter to your shower.
Detoxification is a continuous physiologic process that your body depends on for survival. There are complex cellular detoxification mechanisms that are constantly at work for you all day, every day. Natural and synthetic chemicals are processed by this complex system of cells, organs, and organ systems to keep you healthy in the face of a virtually constant barrage of toxic material. This program is an excellent tool to improve your detoxification in the short term. The following suggestions will help you keep your body’s toxic burden low and your detox mechanisms working for the long haul.
Microwave Ovens
Although the convenience of microwaves is indisputable, this method of heating can disrupt chemical linkages in otherwise healthy foods and can decrease their nutritional value. Heat on a stovetop or in an oven whenever possible and use a cast iron pan. Avoid Teflon and synthetic non-stick coatings.
Exercise
One of the best ways to increase your metabolic activity is to simply use your body. Daily exercise has innumerable benefits including building lean muscle mass, which helps you burn more calories at rest. Consider jumping on a mini trampoline for 3-5 minutes a day to boost your health and vitality. Sweating also releases toxins.
