Part 1 of 2: Detox Short term

1. 

   
   
   Detox with fruit. Detox with fruit is a way to purify the body without worrying about hunger. When you eat enough fruit, your body will get more energy, you will have a more reasonable weight and reduce the risk of stroke. You can detox by eating a combination of different fruits or by eating only one fruit. Don't stick to this fruit diet for longer than 7 days in a row.

   Detox with liquid. Drink only fluids (water, tea, juice, vegetable juice, and / or liquid protein) for 2 to 3 days. A liquid detox diet is also one way to start losing weight, as calorie intake is reduced. Many people believe that this method will help the body to release certain toxins, however, there is no official study on this problem.
   • Drink extra juice or vegetable juice during detox to ensure your body is still getting enough nutrients.
   • If you are going to lose weight, you will need to alter your diet once the liquid detox process is over. If not, you will gain weight again as before.

Part 2 of 2: Long Term Detox

1. 

   Eat organic food. Conventional vegetables are applied with chemical fertilizers and artificial insecticides, while organic vegetables are watered with manure, green manure and natural pesticides. Organic meat contains less antibiotics, growth hormones and harmful drugs than conventional meat.
   • Look carefully at the labels to see if the food is organic or not. Organic foods will be labeled "Certified Organic" in green by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

2. 

   Drink enough water. Drinking enough water is very important to your health. One of the health benefits of water is: it provides enough water for the kidneys to remove nitrogen from the blood urea.
   • Drink lemon juice. Add orange juice and lemon juice to the amount of water you consume for the day. These fruits contain citric acid, which helps the body digest fat. In addition, adding a little flavor to the water makes drinking 8 glasses of water a day easier.

3. 

   Abstain from alcohol. Many studies show that alcohol is linked to certain types of cancer, such as breast cancer in women. You don't have to abstain from completely abstaining from it, you can drink at most one beer or wine at night.

4. 

   Avoid sugar. Regularly consuming too much sugar increases blood sugar, which in the long run increases the risk of heart disease, obesity and some types of cancer. Read food ingredient labels carefully to avoid consuming too much sugar from bread or other sauces.

5. 

   Limit your exposure to harmful substances in the air. These toxic substances include: Carbon monoxide (CO), Radon gas (a naturally radioactive gas) and asbestos dust (a natural jelly mineral). These three types can all be found in your area.
   • Carbon monoxide is a deadly, colorless, odorless poisonous gas produced from burners, stoves, and car engines. Symptoms of toxicity include: headache, dizziness, and lethargy. It is recommended that you use this gas detector indoors and install proper ventilation.
   • Houses and tall buildings should be tested for radon and asbestos dust.

6. 

   Meditation. Many religions and philosophical schools believe that: body purification is a method to have a clear mind and a peaceful mind. When cleansing your body, avoid hatred, anger, and other negative emotions. As a substitute for eating or cooking, take the time to think about your goals and your inspiration.

7. 

   Don't overdo it: Most importantly, you should find a balanced and reasonable purification regime between exercise and healthy diet under the supervision of a professional. Remember, your goal is to form good habits, not exhaust your body with quick, sudden, and inappropriate changes. Avoid parties and drinking when you have just finished cleansing. advertisement
