If you have been interested in cleansing or detoxifying your body but are worried about what the detox process involves, you are not alone. Many people avoid cleansing their bodies because they equate detox with starvation, all-liquid diets and uncomfortable procedures. But there are actually things you can do quite painlessly that will clean your body out and remove some of the toxins that you have.
Here are ten great ways to cleanse your body without any pain or discomfort.
1. Drink More Water
Water is an amazing substance that almost no one on earth drinks enough of. But water is about half of your entire body and it is necessary for cells, organs and bodily functions, particular the lymphatic system, which is responsible for getting rid of toxins in the body.
2. Use Lemon Juice
Lemons are actually pretty amazing and most people hardly ever use them or even think about them as a fruit. But lemon juice not only can help prevent cancer cells from forming, they also are anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and help to remove toxins. Combining lemon juice with baking soda can have even great benefits because these effects are multiplied.
3. Meditation
Meditation is actually a really good way to cleanse your mind, which is vital to your health and wellness. Meditation is a great way to relax for a few minutes when you have a busy life and to get control of thoughts and emotions.
4. Shower Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is tried and true method to cleanse and it only requires fifteen minutes in the shower. All you do is alternate between hot water and cold. You can run the hot water for about three minutes and then run cold water for about 30 seconds. The reason that this works so well is that circulation is increased and it assists the lymphatic system at removing waste.
5. Juicing
Juicing is one of the best ways that you can cleanse your body. You can do a three day juice fast all the way up to a ten day juice fast to clean the toxins from your body. Just be sure to juice fresh vegetables and fruits yourself instead of relying processed juices with sugar added.
6. Lymphatic Massage
A great way to detox is to do a lymphatic massage. There is where you massage your skin lightly in a circular motion so that you move toxins upwards. This method is also called lymphatic brushing.
7. Do Some Stretching
Stretching out your body and all of the various muscle groups will help your body remove toxins much faster than if you let your muscles stagnate and atrophy.
8. Uplifting Music
Uplifting music is any music that makes you happy and invokes a pleasant physical response.
9. Get a Pet
Pets are great when it comes to your physical and mental health. Studies have shown that stroking a pet brings stress levels down and helps people when they are feeling depressed. They usually make people happy and are nice to have around.
10. Steam Therapy
If you have access to a steam room or sauna, you will be able to detoxify your body much faster by using it. If you don’t have access to one a steam machine or a pan of hot water with a towel over your head will do.
