There are many things we can do to support this natural process our bodies have. By incorporating daily detoxing habits it can help your body get rid of toxins more effortlessly and improve your quality of life.

Here are my top daily detoxing tips you can add to your day-to-day routine today…

• Drink More Water Water is essential to your well-being and longevity. Water helps carry out nutrients to our cells, promotes healthy digestion, flushes our bodies of waste, and keeps our kidneys healthy. A general rule of thumb is to drink half of your body weight in ounces daily. Pro-tip; add lemon to water for additional detoxing benefits and immune-boosting properties.
  

• Herbal Teas Dandelion root, ginger, burdock, and licorice root are all great herbal teas that promote detoxification in the body. Drinking a cup daily can do wonders for your overall health and support your detox organs to function optimally.
  

• Limit Alcohol Intake Drinking high amounts of alcohol regularly can damage the liver and reduce its ability to release toxins from the body. Excessive drinking can also cause weight gain and increase inflammation levels.

• Sweat! Sweating is a fundamental component in eliminating toxins like heavy metals from the body. Whether you are sweating from vigorous exercise, hot yoga, or a sauna, do it! Your body will thank you.
  

• Sleep Hygiene Sleep is an essential nutrient in life. It allows our bodies to fully restore and rejuvenate from the day. Your brain also flushes out toxins as you rest. In addition to increasing your mental clarity and even improving your skin health. That is why it is of the utmost importance to get a sufficient amount of sleep daily. It is recommended to sleep for at least 7-8 hours every night for optimal health.

• Dry Brush Dry brushing promotes detoxing by stimulating circulation in the body and helping fluids flow throughout the skin. Doing so also exfoliates, softens, and smoothes out your skin.
  

• Swap to Clean Products Being that our skin is the largest detox organ in our body, it is important that we are feeding it with the right products. Many soaps, moisturizers, and make-up products on the shelves are loaded with harmful chemicals that can build up in the body over time. Swapping to more clean, eco-friendly products with natural ingredients can improve your health and environment.

• Eat Whole-Foods Processed foods, excessive sugar intake, alcohol, dairy, and other inflammation triggers can impact your gut and liver very negatively. The best way to combat this is by eating more whole foods like organic vegetables and protein. Especially, vegetables loaded with fiber like broccoli, kale, and brussel sprouts, that support healthy digestion.
  

• Stress-Management Studies show stress management is linked to low inflammation levels and preventing the build-up of harmful toxins in the body. Simple exercises like taking a few long, deep breathes, meditation or prayer can leave you feeling calm and relaxed during stressful times.

• Exercise Of course, we cannot forget about exercise. Creating a consistent exercise regime is foundational to good health, it can reduce the risk of many conditions and diseases developing in the body. Overall regular physical activity can lower inflammation and helps your body detox optimally.
