Detoxification is a continuous process that our body performs in a natural way. 75% of the detoxification of toxins by the body takes place in the liver and the remaining 25% takes place in the intestine. From the moment harmful substances enter the body, thedetoxifierssystems start the necessary processes.
→ processed foods and especially white flour and sugar
→ medications
→ alcohol
→ caffeine
→ environmental factors, such as pesticides and heavy metals
→ our own body produces toxins such as stress hormones.
If there is no supplementation of appropriate nutrients through our diet, toxins burden the liver, resulting in inflammation and various diseases.
It is therefore necessary to take all the nutrients such as vitamins, metals etc., that support the enzymes and metabolic processes of the body's natural detoxification.
It is not necessary to deprive ourselves of food, but we can achieve detoxification by following some dietary tips:
→ It is very important to drink at least 6 glasses of water a day.
→ Drink a glass of warm water with lemon every morning. The water will hydrate you, while the lemon helps the body to have a balanced ph and facilitates digestion.
→Green Tea. It is rich in antioxidants, gives energy and increases metabolism. The catechins it contains, accelerate the function of the liver and increase the production of enzymes that help in detoxification.
→ Physical exercise. Through the sweating it causes, many harmful toxins are eliminated from the body.
→ Avoid processed foods. Prefer whole grain foods.
→ Consume fruits, vegetables and foods rich in dietary fiber
