Every Day Detox Tips
notes and tips for living lighter, brighter and feeling beautiful every single day!
Here are our 12 favorite Every Day Detox Tips….
1. Drink Lemon Water
Start your mornings with a glass of room temperature lemon water. Squeeze half a lemon in and wait 15 to 30 minutes after drinking it to eat breakfast. Why it's so good for you: Lemons are packed with nutrients and immunity boosters like vitamin C, potassium and pectin fiber, which curbs hunger cravings. They also help speed up enzyme function and stimulate the liver so your body can flush out toxins.
2. Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water, and herbal teas and eating lots of hydrating fruits and vegetables will ensure your body is detoxing on a daily basis. When you drink water, it flushes and cleanses your body of toxins and has a huge impact on preventing constipation. We recommend drinking half your body weight in ounces every day. It’ll cleanse your body, boost your energy, and give your skin that healthy glow!
3. Have A Green Smoothie For Breakfast
Do it on an empty stomach, which allows your body to absorb the nutrients more quickly. Our go-to detox smoothie: 1 cup liquid + lemon, ginger, celery, cucumber, frozen blueberries, and kale or spinach – the more greens, the better!
4. Take a Probiotic
Lactobacillus acidophilus is a good bacteria that lines the gut membranes and aids in eliminating toxins. You can take a high quality probiotic capsule, or eat it in the form of sauerkraut, kimichi, fermented veggies or yogurt.
5. Eat Plenty of Spices
Spices like ginger, cinnamon, cayenne, cumin, and turmeric are super cleansing and help your body reach its natural satiation point earlier,.
6. Tongue Scrape
Yes, it sounds nutty, but tongue scraping will quickly clean the tongue of accumulated bacteria from the night before. Think of it as giving your body an extra assist in the detox process, while also achieving better breath! We promise, you’ll be hooked. Tongue Scraper
7. Dry Body Brush
Before showering, dry brush your body head-to-toe, using long strides toward the heart. This activates the lymphatic system, stimulates blood circulation, and enhances toxin elimination through our body’s largest organ — the skin! Dry Body Brush
8. Get Massage
Massages increase circulation, stimulate the lymphatic system and remove toxic build-up. Plus it feels so good!
9. Detox Bath
Adding Epsom or your favorite bath salts can help relax tired, sore muscles and promote better sleep. We love our magical detox bath formula……And, yes, we’re sharing it with you!
Epsom Salts (2 cups): draw toxins out through the skin
Baking Soda (2 Tablespoons): naturally alkalizing, softens skin
Warm Water: heats-up body temperature, encouraging perspiration
Essential Oils (2 drops each): geranium, eucalyptus, juniper berry – powerful detox agents, and smell wonderful!
10. Eliminate
Pooping is paramount for detoxification! If your digestion is sluggish, increase water consumption to 2 liters per day and try taking daily magnesium supplements and digestive enzymes if necessary.
11. Sweat
Sweating is crucial for expelling toxins. Get your body moving daily. Try an infrared sauna, which assists in removing toxins stored in fat tissues. Take a hot yoga class — or any yoga class!
12. End The Night With Chamomile Tea
Not only does it help with insomnia, it aids in breaking down your final meal.
