Try these tips for 10 days to detoxify your body this fall !!
Eliminate Processed Foods
One of the easiest ways to detoxify your body is to eliminate sugar and processed and canned foods. Focus on eating whole foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, homemade soups and whole grains.
Drink 8-10 Glasses of Water
Drink plenty of water — about 8-10 glasses — per day. Fall is typically a dryer season and drinking water helps to reverse the effects of the seasonal weather. It promotes healthy digestion, hydrates internal organs and maintains the balance of body fluids.
Enjoy Warm Teas
Drink warm teas like dandelion or milk thistle tea to cleanse your liver and promote a healthy gallbladder. Both have been used for centuries as puratives for the body.
Read an Uplifting Book
Fill your head and heart with positive messages. Read an uplifting book that focuses on self-improvement, motivation or inspiration to keep your mindset positive.
Practice Gentle Movement
Incorporate yoga, light stretching and walking to prevent constipation and have healthy bowel movements. This helps to detoxify and cleanse the body.
