However, if, for example, what you want is to cleanse your body to get rid of toxins, there are a series of recommendations and basic tips that will help you.
What are toxins and why do they accumulate in our body?
Toxins basically consist of lipopolysaccharides (proteins), residues, negative compounds and impurities that our body does not need, and that enter our body in many different ways, and from different and very diverse sources.
We find toxins in many places. We find them present in the air we breathe, in tobacco, in alcohol, in preservatives and certain chemical additives, in medicines, and even in the food we consume every day (especially in food and food products that have been processed industrial way, or containing chemical compounds).
Therefore, although it is absolutely normal that toxins tend to be found in our body, the problem comes when toxins accumulate excessively. An increase in stress is generated inside the cells, which makes us get sicker, that we have a higher risk of suffering from certain diseases and health disorders, and we also tend to feel lacking in energy.
In addition, stress situations that become chronic tend to cause a very dangerous increase in the accumulation of these toxins. This is when there is an increase in what is known as oxidative stress, which translates into an increased risk of suffering from chronic diseases, as well as an acceleration of premature aging.
How can we purify our body every day in a natural way?
Luckily, we can cleanse our body easily and every day, following a healthy lifestyle, based on the regular practice of physical exercise (thus avoiding a sedentary lifestyle), maintaining a balanced and healthy diet, and avoiding stress, anxiety and nervousness.
A good idea is to eat at least four times a day, in small amounts, and to eat a little less than what the body needs; the goal is to stay full, but not to eat more than necessary.
Eating lots of fruits, vegetables and greens helps purify our body, as well as not eating foods rich in fats, carbohydrates and fats.
A better option is to opt for steamed, boiled, boiled or grilled foods than to eat fried foods, as well as opting for lean meats and white fish.
Also knowing what foods or liquids can help us in purification is an even better idea, since there are purifying juices or plants that will help you eliminate toxins.
But above all, there is a very simple question that should be taken into account: eating more than our body needs is a negative action, since not only do we not help our body burn fat, nor do the digestive system carry out a proper digestion, but we strain our liver and stomach, and we don’t give it time to correctly eliminate all the toxins.
Symptoms that indicate that we need to detoxify our body
Although it is very useful and recommended to try to cleanse our body several times a year (it is recommended to do it at least twice a year), there are a series of symptoms that can alert us that, in reality, our body has an excess of toxins and we need put the batteries to eliminate them as soon as possible.
However, there are certain symptoms that can help us discover if there is an accumulation of toxins in our body, and if above all we need to purify ourselves and eliminate them. They are the following:
- Fatigue and tiredness: It is one of the most obvious signs. For example, it is a clear symptom of the accumulation of toxins when we rest well at night but during the day we are very tired, and it is difficult for us to do things normally. In addition, it is also common to feel pain in the muscles and joints.
- Bad breath (halitosis): There are people who have a greater predisposition to suffer from halitosis, and it does not mean that we have a problem of toxin accumulation. The same thing happens when the bad food appears after having eaten a certain food. However, sometimes, especially when bad breath appears suddenly and does not go away over the days, it can be a sign that our liver and colon are overloaded.
- Constipation: Occasional or chronic constipation is a common cause of toxin buildup. You know why? Mainly because when the feces spend a lot of time in contact with the mucosa present in the intestines, the growth of bacteria is stimulated, and therefore the final production of toxins.
- Skin reactions: When there is an accumulation of toxins, the health of our skin also suffers. It is common to have puffy eyes or the appearance of acne (pimples).
