April is the month of spring cleaning.
Our house is getting more cramped since the birth of our third child. We had to turn my office into the new play room. As we were cleaning out the house, I couldn’t believe how much stuff I have accumulated since we’ve moved into our current house over 7 years ago! I am not a hoarder, but I might have slight tendencies to hold on to things. In the end I ended up throwing away a lot of gadgets I love but never use. I also donated clothes I haven’t worn in years – I can’t believe I was holding on to my college homecoming sweatshirt from 1988!
The reason I am going over this subject is that we need to also clean out our body. Over the years, we put things into our body that are not good for us. We hold onto a lot of chemicals, preservatives and toxins that are in those foods. We may be smoking or drinking too much alcohol, or eating foods that have a lot of trans fats.
Although your body is capable of detoxing itself in most cases, we should also try cleaning out your system. Detoxing and cleaning out your body can be done in 24 hours or take as long as 7 days, depending on how much you want to detoxify yourself.
The first step is to stop taking in anything that is toxic. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, foods that contain saturated fats, as well as chemical additives in your food.
The second step is you want to be as natural as possible, meaning eating raw vegetables and fruits as well as drinking plenty of water. Or you can drink natural fruit and vegetable juices.
Thirdly, support the body’s detox process with antioxidants and vitamins that will help you get rid of your toxins. Toxins cause inflammation in your body and cause free radicals to form. They are very dangerous and can lead to heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and even cancer. Antioxidants bind to these free radicals and neutralize them.
During the detoxification process, you may experience weakness and dizziness. If you have any health concerns, you should consult with your physician before starting a detox program. But remember when it is done, your body will feel very clean.
