Some of these potential toxins include alcohol and drugs. In order to keep hormone levels within healthy balance, your liver not only breaks down potential toxins, it prevents them from being circulated in the bloodstream.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, drinking excessive alcohol stresses the liver. The liver can only detox effectively if potential toxins are kept to a minimum level. Otherwise, the liver has to work overtime and the backlog of toxins can stress the liver, causing some of the symptoms above. If you have at least a few of the aforementioned symptoms, it may be time to do a detox. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Detox Your Body Using Easy Methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people associate detoxes with radical cleanses or diets. The so-called \u201cMaster Cleanse Diet\u201d comes to mind, whereby you consume nothing but lemon juice, cayenne pepper, water, and maple syrup, for several days. Sound like a fun way to go about detoxing your body? No, then let\u2019s take a look at some more pleasing ways to detox are\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, though, we have to start with giving up, at least temporarily, certain toxifying lifestyle factors. While refraining from wine for a couple weeks might not seem like fun, at least it doesn\u2019t require a radical dietary detox. You can still eat good food, though not with wine. You can have 1-2 glasses of wine a night when your symptoms go away. Avoid other obvious toxic lifestyle factors like smoking and eating junk food.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1103\" height=\"735\" src=\"https:\/\/allnaturalideas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/detoxing-your-body-how-to-detox-mid.jpg\" alt=\"Detoxing your Body - How to Detox\" class=\"wp-image-4896\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allnaturalideas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/detoxing-your-body-how-to-detox-mid.jpg 1103w, https:\/\/allnaturalideas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/detoxing-your-body-how-to-detox-mid-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allnaturalideas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/detoxing-your-body-how-to-detox-mid-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/allnaturalideas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/detoxing-your-body-how-to-detox-mid-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1103px) 100vw, 1103px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another sign that you may need at least a mild detox is sluggish elimination. If going #2 is becoming a chore, that may be a sign your liver is backed up. Not getting enough exercise could also be the reason why you are having sluggish elimination. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help in&nbsp;detoxing your body, safely, and gradually, you can take an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/allnaturalideas.com\/activated-charcoal-uses-benefits\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">activated charcoal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> supplement, drink <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/allnaturalideas.com\/matcha-green-tea-benefits\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">matcha tea<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, use <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/allnaturalideas.com\/natural-hormone-balance-using-essential-oils\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">essential oils<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to balance hormones, make <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/allnaturalideas.com\/making-bone-broth\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bone broth<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a part of your diet, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/allnaturalideas.com\/21-day-sugar-cleanse-diet-plan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">limit added sugars<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, refrain from eating grain-fed red meat, drinking \u2018spa\u2019<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/allnaturalideas.com\/morning-lemon-water-benefits\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lemon water<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and eating plenty of fiber-rich, low-starch vegetables. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to eat and drink things that encourage detoxification, such as beets. Avoid foods with preservatives. Our livers don\u2019t have the ability to filter out all the new chemicals that have been introduced into the foods, cosmetics and household cleaners many people use. These chemicals have been introduced to humans, relatively speaking, a blink of an eye ago. Our livers simply have not adapted to these potential toxins. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Detoxing Your Body: Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Headaches, nausea, sluggishness, indigestion, bloating, constipation might all be common these days, but they are not normal. These are all indications that you might have a sluggish liver. There are lots of natural foods, spices, herbs and other supplements you can take to safely and slowly detoxify your liver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest mistakes people can do is detoxify too quickly. This releases waste metabolites into your bloodstream and may cause you to feel worse than you already do. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To safely detox your body, exercise daily (to the point where you\u2019re just a little out of breath, or go for really long walks); eat a clean, organic, low-carb, whole-foods based diet that emphasizes eating lots of low-starch vegetables; eliminate alcohol and drugs (you can resume moderate alcohol consumption when symptoms disappear); use household cleaners and cosmetics that contain plant-based ingredients; don\u2019t wear synthetic perfume, and finally, take it easy \u2026 learn to manage your stress.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1103\" height=\"735\" src=\"https:\/\/allnaturalideas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/detoxing-your-body-how-to-detox-feat.jpg\" alt=\"Detoxing your Body - How to Detox\" class=\"wp-image-4895\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allnaturalideas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/detoxing-your-body-how-to-detox-feat.jpg 1103w, https:\/\/allnaturalideas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/detoxing-your-body-how-to-detox-feat-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allnaturalideas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/detoxing-your-body-how-to-detox-feat-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/allnaturalideas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/detoxing-your-body-how-to-detox-feat-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1103px) 100vw, 1103px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you know when it\u2019s time to detox?
