Detoxing doesn't have to be expensive. If you want to rid your body of harmful toxins, know that there are natural ways of doing just that.
But why go through it in the first place?
"By removing and eliminating toxins, then feeding your body with healthy nutrients, detoxifying can help protect you from disease and renew your ability to maintain optimum health," Gaiam Life explained.
Instead of going to the store and buying yourself some detox drink, why not do it the natural way? Not only is this less expensive, it's also a safe and easy way to detoxify.
For instance, starting your day with a mug of hot water and a slice of lemon is an excellent way to start.
"The zesty drink starts the digestion process and helps alkalise the body," TV3 said.
The website also suggested herbal tea as a natural way of detoxing. Apparently, your average green tea, peppermint, chamomile and nettle are just as effective as dedicated detox concoctions.
"Green tea is one of the best for cleaning the system and contains flavonoids, which speed up liver activity, producing detox enzymes."
Gaiam Life also stressed the importance of staying hydrated by drinking at least two quarts of water every day.
Beyond drinking healthy though, what you eat is also important when it comes to detoxing.
With this in mind, Pop Sugar recommended having a clean, whole and fresh diet.
"Stock your kitchen with fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, and grass-fed, organic proteins."
The website said natural food is richer in nutrients and don't have preservatives and chemicals unlike processed foods. This goes hand in hand with cutting down on junk such as refined carbs and sugar from your diet.
As part of the natural ways of detoxing, it's also important to be more active and have a positive outlook on life.
