There are many levels of detox. Here are some suggestions. But be careful about making multiple drastic changes overnight. You may want to start with 2-3 changes and implement others over time. Listen to your body - it's the best guide you have!

1. Ingest fiber-rich organic vegetables: Beets, radishes, artichokes, cabbage, broccoli, spirulina, chlorella, and seaweed are excellent detoxifying foods.

2. Choose raw food over cooked. Raw food is still technically “live” food – that is food whose enzymes are still intact and that, if planted, would grow new life. Cooked foods by comparison are not only enzymatically dead through cooking but also cannot reproduce and are usually lower in vitamins, minerals, water, phytochemicals and other important nutrients.

3. Clean and protect the liver by ingesting herbs like dandelion root, burdock, milk thistle and green tea.

4. Extra Vitamin C helps the body generate glutathione - a liver compound that dispels toxins.

5. Drink filtered tap water (opt for a reverse osmosis water filter machine) with fresh lemon slices. Men: Watch out for plastic bottles - the estrogen can give you man boobs!



6. Breathwork: Nose breathing exercises allow oxygen to circulate more completely throughout your system and transfers awareness from your mind (eg your mental loop) to your body. 

7. Transform inner tension by dwelling only on positive emotions and practising gratitude (focusing on all that is right in your life). 

8. Use hydrotherapy by taking a really warm shower for a few minutes, letting the water run down your back. Follow through with cold water for 30 seconds. Do this 3 times and then lay down for 30 minutes.

9. Sweat in a sauna. Then dry-brush your skin to omit toxins through your pores. Special brushes are available.

10. Zero alchohol, coffee, sugar and fizzy drinks. 

11. Minimise wheat consumption. The side effects of wheat include appetite stimulation, exposure to brain-active exorphins (the counterpart of internally derived endorphins), exaggerated blood sugar surges (that trigger cycles of satiety alternating with heightened appetite), glycation (that underlies disease and aging), inflammatory and pH effects that erode cartilage and damage bone and activation of disordered immune responses. 

12. Get a good night's sleep!

Important: Consult with your Doctor before starting any detox regime!
