For long term health, the short answer is you can't completely detox overnight and truthfully, nor would you want to. Doing this would involve an extremely intense regime. You would be uncomfortable, in pain and feeling nauseous to say the least.
The best way you can support your detoxification pathways is in a slow and steady way on a daily basis. Too hard and fast causes burden on your organs and stress to the body.
10 Signs your body needs daily cleansing support are commonly:
- Skin concerns (e.g. acne, rashes, dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema)
- Low energy
- Weight gain
- Sugar cravings
- Brain fog
- Digestive upset (bloating, discomfort, fluctuating stools between loose and solid)
- Hormonal imbalances (e.g. painful and heavy periods)
- Insomnia or waking unrefreshed
- Mood swings (e.g. feeling irritable, angry, lacking control of emotions)
- Poor immune function and becoming frequently unwell
5 ways you can support your body to cleanse daily:
- Our 6 week, Detox & Replenish Bundle, perfectly designed to nourish you from the inside out and support you to create new habits. A lifestyle, not a phase.
- Reduce alcohol intake as it burdens the liver and detoxification pathways.
- Eat a well balanced diet. Eating clean, whole foods doesn't need to be difficult or expensive.
- Daily movement and yes, this can be low intensity! Walking or something relaxing like Yin Yoga helps to reduce stagnation and support detoxification. No movement = toxins recirculating in the body.
- Drink a sufficient amount of water and no, unfortunately coffee doesn't count as this actually contributes to dehydration of cells. Aim for a minimum of 2-2.5L of ideally filtered water per day.
