You may have heard of “detoxes” before; perhaps one of your friends or family members is doing one, and why wouldn’t they? I mean, on all types of social media, they’re promoted as something that will not only help you feel better, but also make you look better. You can have your dream body, skin, and hair by just taking a pill. While not all of them should be dismissed, there is something to be said for doing it the natural way. Did you know that the body can be detoxed naturally? It doesn’t even have to include some intense fasting or the even more intense colon cleanses to work. The human body was specifically designed to be able to manage some of the lower levels of toxins many of us experience from day to day.
The Body’s Toxin Filters
There are multiple systems within our bodies which work to protect it from potentially harmful toxins. These systems include:
- Liver, colon, gallbladder, and the GI tract
- Our skin, including all sweat glands and even tear ducts
- Kidneys, urethra, and bladder
- Throat, sinuses, bronchial tubes, lungs, and also our nose!
- Lymph nodes and other various channels throughout our body
A normally-functioning body will allow these systems to catch and remove all of the potentially-harmful toxins that come our way. In fact, they’re most efficient when left alone to do their work without all the fasting and cleanses. However, sometimes these systems become over-exhausted and may need some extra help.
Hydration
You already know that water makes up the vast majority of our body. That means, to keep it properly functioning, you should be taking in a good amount of it. Staying hydrated is essential to your body having the capability to flush out anything harmful that it may take in. Ensuring that you’re consuming enough water can be challenging, and water is not always clean. Oftentimes, tap water contains contaminants or chemicals that can actually do more harm than good. With that being said, make sure the water you drink is safe for consumption, and that you’re drinking an adequate amount of it.

Healthy Diet
We all know we should do it, but not all of us do. A healthy diet consists of plenty of natural fruits and veggies, as well as an adequate amount of lean protein to help your body regulate its toxin-filtering abilities. Consuming a good amount of fiber is also a great way to ensure your digestive system is properly operating. Your gastrointestinal tract and its health is a huge part of how well your body gets rid of potentially harmful toxins.
With all of these factors put together, you are armed with the basics of fighting off any toxins that come into your body. Maintaining a healthy diet, exercising, hydrating properly, and getting enough rest are all very important. When each system is properly operating, your immune system becomes more efficient and effective, making it easier to avoid potential illness and toxic issues!
