Detoxing rids the body of toxins responsible for ageing. It helps to increase the nutrient level in the system. When the body loads with toxins it doesn’t function well.

Here are some measures you can take to detox your body.


1. Start the day with a glass of spring or lemon water

Starting your day on water act as a catalyst in fighting toxins in the body. Drinking lemon water removes these toxins that pile up in the body due to food consumption.

Also, remember to drink lots of water throughout the day.

2. Drink a squeezed vegetable juice daily
Going green was once a trend; where everything you eat consists of vegetables. This is hard to keep up with, and that is why drinking squeezed vegetable is a better substitute.

3. Drop toxic oils from your diet
Vegetable oil is the go-to oil for most people when cooking, but this oil increases your system toxins. Replace with extra-virgin olive oil, coconut oil, avocado flaxseed oil and flaxseed oil.

4. Eat more raw fruits, herbs and vegetables
Fruit, vegetables and herbs contain enzymes that aid digestion and improve nutrient absorption.

5. Cut or drop white sugar intake
These sugars are empty caloric in nature, they cause more harm to the body than good. If you crave a sweet tooth opt for fruits instead.


6. Cut or drop white flour and white bread

White bread is also an empty caloric food, they act as glue to the body. Stick to wheat bread instead which has zero amount of sugar and carbs.
