7 Plus A Bonus Way To Boost Your Detox System ... Good For Your Overall Health

Good afternoon,

I have a controversial topic today!

A lot of people LOVE the idea of "doing" a detox.

My focus for this month is sharing some strategies and tools about getting rid of things that are blocking your results for being healthier, so I thought it was important to talk about them.

But, what if instead of talking about detoxing the body ... we talk about detoxing what we put in, on, and around our bodies?

 NOTE: This is also known as living a healthy lifestyle!

Thie fact is, your body already has an AMAZING built-in system to get rid of waste and toxins. It includes your liver, kidneys, skin, lungs, large intestines and lymphatic system.

Unfortunately, our modern lifestyles and habits tend to make it harder for our organs and lymphatic system to do their jobs.

The good news is that you can help turn that around by reducing on the overload your "detox" system has to deal with.

Bonus: This approach helps YOU reach your health goals faster, and you feel better too!

7 Ways to Boost Your Body's Detox System (Plus One Bonus Way) ...

1. Reduce your alcohol. Ok, yes right now as I am writiing this, it is summer time, I know. Yet too much alcohol can make it harder for your liver to do its normal jobs - one of which is helping your body get rid of toxins. (Recommendations by experts for alcohol is 1 drink a day for women, 2 for men).
2. Get enough sleep. During the day, waste builds up in your brain, then at night when you are sleeping it is swept away. The take home: not enought sleep = waste buildup.
3. Drink enough water. Water performs lots of functions in your body, including helping your body's detox system remove waste products from your blood.
4. Reduce/limit sugary and processed foods. Yes, there are family and friend's get togethers during the summer! All good, yet eating high-calorie foods low in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients is linked to chronic disease (like diabetes and obesity). This can also reduce the effectiveness of your organs (like kidney's and liver) that help your body's detox system.
5. Try to not eat too much salt. Among other things, it can lead to your body retaining water.
6. Be active. Regular physical activity and being engaged in exercise helps to lower inflammation in your body and helps boost your body's ability to detox more efficiently.
7. Choose your self-care and home cleaning products carefully. Using natural products on your body and in your home can help reduce your exposure to certain chemicals.

Bonus Way - Boost the effectiveness and efficiency of  your lymphatic system to do its work by treating yourself to some lymphatic therapy sessions from a certified lymphatic therapist. (To learn more about what a certified lymphatic therapist can do, click here).
