Do It Yourself Body Detoxification
Today, body detoxification is recognized as one effective option in fighting against the rapid rise of deadly diseases. Experts have already diagnosed the cause, the heavy load of so many toxins brought about by pollution and our own modern lifestyle.
These illnesses affect all people without prejudice on age, race and gender. There is a rise in of ADHD in children, breast cancer in women, prostate cancer in men and cardiovascular problems in most adults. There is even an epidemic of obesity among teenagers.
Body detoxification is actually a natural body process where the organs assigned to eliminate body wastes are at work. These days, most people have their organs functioning at half-capacity or are simply overwhelmed by the amount of wastes and toxins they have to expel.
Unfortunately, there is no medical magic bullet to cure all this. Experts, however, had advocated that everyone can devise their own treatment, a do it yourself body detoxification.
Diet
First, you should consult your doctor before starting on anything that concerns your health.
It had been known long ago that diet is one of the most effective means fighting diseases. Today, it is the most formidable system to detoxify the body of harmful elements (chemicals, metals, free radicals).
By this time, you would perhaps know some general guidelines in choosing your food, and perhaps the corresponding reasons as well.
Choose your snack foods (avoid soda, sugar-rich foods) because they are full of additives, preservatives and flavorings that do nothing for the body. The opposite is true, however. These chemicals can damage your system.
Switch to fresh fruits and vegetables. Berries and other fiber-rich foods are the best. Green vegetables (cauliflowers, broccoli, kale and many more) are the best sources of not only vitamins but anti-oxidants as well.
Lifestyle
You can detoxify your bodies better and faster if there is a corresponding change in your lifestyle.
Around 15 to 30 minutes of exercise (preferably done outdoors) is good enough to get you to breathe harder and exercise your lungs and heart. Your skin is renewed if you break into some sweat. It is so much better if you can do it in the morning sunshine.
For the body to recuperate and rebuild its energy, you need to have a good night's sleep, preferably around 8 hours a day. Of course, cigarettes are a total no-no, and alcohol is restrained.
Basics
All in all, body detoxification is going back to the basics of simple living. This means ingesting natural food and drinks, good exercise and enough rest are still the best so far.
