4 ways to detox for free

Colonic irrigation is an extraordinary way to cleanse your body. It’ll leave you feeling light, refreshed, and revitalized. The only downside is that it’s not free. Surprisingly though, there are countless ways to detox your body for absolutely nothing.

People are often convinced that in order to see tangible results, they’re going to have to shell out some amount of money. But the truth is, getting in the routine of simply living healthy can go a long way when it comes to ridding your body of toxins.

Drink plenty of water

You’ve heard it countless times before, but perhaps you’ve never fully taken the advice. Although the views on “how much” water to drink per day, are mixed, most experts advise about 8, 8-ounce glasses.

Then again, this depends a lot on your age, sex, weight, fat/muscle ratio, etc. Needless to say, drinking enough H20 on a daily basis is crucial for keeping your body toxin-free.

Stay active

That 9 t0 5 desk job isn’t doing anything to help you in the detoxification process. The more you remain stationary, the more toxins and pollutants have the opportunity to dwell in your body, doing a number on your immune system.

If you do work at a computer most of the day, try standing, taking breaks and moving your legs. Perpetual motion is the key here. If you can take a half-hour run after work, do it. Raising your heart rate for about 30 minutes a day can help.

Get lots of sleep

Many people are under the impression that sleep just isn’t that important. Sure, it’s something we all like to do, but if you don’t have time for it, you don’t have time for it. Mounting research says that this is not a healthy way to look at the matter. In our fast-paced society, people need to make sleep an absolute priority.

While young adults need about 9 hours of sleep per night, older adults might be able to get by on a solid 6.

Meditate 

Meditation is a practice that’s gaining a lot of traction in the health world — especially in the wellness community — and for good reason. Many neuroscientific studies have shown that meditating daily can lower stress, increase focus, and in doing so, rid the body of all sorts of impurities.

Meditation doesn’t have to be looked at as a “magical” thing “Mindfulness” is a popular style of meditation in which the practitioner simply sits quietly and pays close attention to their moment-to-moment experience, not getting lost in thought, or holding on to particular thoughts for too long. It’s just a way of centering yourself, really.
