How to detox on your ownAuthor: Jessica

By this point, you’ve probably heard of all of the detox programs — juicing, obscure diets, and exercises you can only allegedly do with certain machines. The truth is, there are easier, more effective ways to detox your body, many of which you probably already practice on occasion. The key is just consistency. Eat right Before you even think about cleansing your body of toxins, you ought to think about what you’re putting in your body in the first place. Eating right means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but there are some approaches we know to be healthier than others. For instance, eating organic, unprocessed food is a surefire way to keep toxins at bay. By maintaining a highly organic diet, you’ll be consuming foods without harmful pesticides and synthetic chemicals that can be detrimental to your heath. Get plenty of sleep You’re no stranger to a busy life. Constantly running from one activity to the next, sleep has become just another chore for you. As a result of this mindset, you rarely get the amount of sleep you need to properly maintain your on-the-go lifestyle. It has commonly been said that every adult needs about 8 hours of sleep per night to keep up good health, wellness and cognitive faculties. New research suggests that many adults can function just fine on 5-6 hours of sleep per night, though. What’s not recommended is sleeping 2 hours one night, 7 hours the next night, etc. Your body craves regularity. It’s okay not to sleep the full 8 hours, just maintain a consistent routine that your body can follow. Exercise multiple times a week The specific exercises you do could depend on your age, but one thing is for sure, you don’t need any fancy workout equipment to give your body a proper detoxification. Great ways to rid toxins from your body is simply through good ol’ fashioned endurance and resistance training. If your body can handle it, do a series of core exercises and push-ups, then go for a 20 minute run. If you’re looking for something a little less hard on the heart, try yoga. If you’re older and your bones and muscles aren’t what they used to be, a long walk will do the trick. The key is to get your heart rate up, sweat out those toxins, and maintain a strict schedule of doing it. Give us a call at our Palos Verdes location to learn more about detox and overall wellness.
