What is the best way to detox?

Question

There are a lot of herbal products out there as well as facilities that claim they are the best way. What do you think?

Answer 1

The most simplistic way to detox is to drink lots of water and exercise so that you sweat (or take some time in the sauna).

To detox means to clean the blood in the liver, which acts as a filter for your body. Other filters are the kidneys, lymph, intestines and skin. Detoxing enhances the purifying system that already exists in your body.

Avoid consuming toxins such as refined sugars, alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, and saturated fats.

Another tip the Gaiam Life website suggests is to "minimize use of chemical-based household cleaners and personal health care products (cleansers, shampoos, deodorants and toothpastes), and substitute natural alternatives".
