It is very easy to have an unhealthy life. Fast foods, processed foods, laziness… Everything seems to conspire to make you choose the easiest path. But, as easy as it is, there comes a time when the body asks for a detox. Whether it's because of a diet, health problems or because it's time to take on a healthier life, detoxing is necessary. That's why we've separated 14 tips on how you can do this naturally during your day. Check it out below!
Water
One of the pillars of good health is keeping your body hydrated. This means that it pays to drink less alcohol and more water. Hydration plays an important role in eliminating toxins and even helps to greatly improve skin health. So, drink water throughout the day. Make it a habit to keep a glass or bottle of water close at hand.
Breathe deeply
It is normal for breathing to be something automatic that we do without thinking. But learning to breathe slowly and deeply can help with the detox process. Stop for a few seconds and inhale until your lungs are full. Hold the air for a few seconds and then slowly exhale. Do this every day to help with your detox. If you have the opportunity, do it somewhere with more contact with nature to feel the benefits of breathing fresh air.
Vitamins
If you don't have much time to buy fruits and vegetables and prepare them more carefully to eat, opt for vitamins. Blending everything in the blender can be a lot easier than worrying about some complex recipe. Search the internet for detox vitamin recipes and discover how easy and fast it is to make them.
Skin care
Get in the habit of brushing your skin. With so much pollution clogging the pores, it is difficult for the body to breathe. That's why taking extra care of your skin is important. Don't shower running. Take a few minutes to gently scrub your skin and it will also help with your detox.
brush your tongue
This is a habit that few people adopt, but a very important one. When brushing your teeth, also brush your tongue. Some bacteria accumulate in it and, by removing them, it consequently helps in the digestive system and thus also helps in detoxification.
Fibers
Try to consume foods with plenty of fiber. Whole foods, vegetables and legumes are good options to include in your meals. With a diet rich in fiber, your digestive system will work better and toxins will be expelled more easily.
Sweat
One of the ways to eliminate toxins from the body is through sweat. So create the habit of doing physical activities for at least 15 minutes a day. Sweating a lot helps with detoxification, but just be sure to drink plenty of water afterwards to hydrate yourself.
Sleep well
Getting enough sleep is good for your body and good for the detox process. As much as you have a busy routine, try to make more time for your nights sleep.

Probiotics are food supplements with live microorganisms that help in the proper functioning of the intestine. So look for some of them to include in your diet. If in doubt which one to choose, consult a nutritionist.
Intestinal wash
It doesn't seem comfortable at all, but in some cases, a bowel wash can be the fastest way to get a strong detox in the body. If you have health issues that need faster detox treatment, consult your doctor about this procedure.
Castor oil
This oil extracted from the castor plant can be an ally in your detoxification. Applying it to the stomach and abdomen area for 35 to 45 minutes three times a week can be a good idea.
Teas
Some teas help in the detoxification process. Some of them: chicory, coriander, dandelion, ginger and turmeric.
herbal bath
Some herbal baths can also help with detoxification. Rue, boldo and sage are good options. The herbal bath helps to cleanse the pores of the skin and also helps the body to expel toxins through the skin.
oil intake
Some oils, such as coconut, sesame and olive oils, can be good allies in your detox. To learn how to include them in this process, talk to a good nutritionist so he can balance them in your diet.
