How to cleanse the body of toxins – known and effective methods
If we lived in a clean environment, ate healthy, avoided stimulants and used less chemicals in our everyday life, our bodies would certainly cope better with self-cleansing. Unfortunately, modern civilization is what it is, and we ourselves are usually a bit at odds with a healthy lifestyle. When our body suffers from an excess of toxins, it gives us clear signals, such as:
- exhaustion,
- apathy, depressive states,
- irritability,
- sleep problems,
- problems concentrating,
- headaches,
- weakened immunity,
- constipation, problems with bowel movements,
- bloating, swelling,
- diarrhea,
- abdominal pain,
- weight gain,
- excessive appetite or lack of appetite,
- foul-smelling sweat and bad breath,
- deterioration of skin, hair, nails.
We should not underestimate such signals. Long-lasting state of excess toxins in the organism not only negatively influences the mood, appearance and functioning of the system, but it can also contribute to the occurrence of many civilization diseases.
All the more so it is worth taking care of the detox of the body, which can be carried out in a simple way, by drinking every day a cleansing cocktail based on ingredients stimulating the excretion of toxins. Simultaneously with the cocktail treatment it is worth to modify eating habits in terms of giving up or reducing processed food, products with large amounts of unhealthy fats and sugars, colored drinks, alcohol.
In addition to drinking cocktails, another well-known way to cleanse the body is the so-called Dabrowska diet. Undoubtedly, it is effective, but it carries a lot of restrictions and requires iron consistency. Not everyone is prepared to implement a therapeutic fast for several days, and then eating almost exclusively vegetables, fruits and grains. Many people look for less radical methods to detoxify the body. One of the most effective, and also extremely easy to carry out, is the discussed treatment of cleansing cocktails, while other popular methods include:
- treatment with herbs with diuretic, choleretic, liver, pancreas and intestinal support properties;
- Grapefruit and olive oil cleansing;
- Purification with birch sap;
- Lemon juice cleansing;
- detoxification treatment with freshly squeezed juices of fruit and vegetables;
- Detoxification treatment with milk thistle;
- treatment with millet groats, the so-called millet detox.

How to make an effective cleansing cocktail from toxins? It is enough to follow these 3 simple rules:

These ingredients, before being placed in the blender, should be cleaned very thoroughly with hot water to get rid of pesticides and other chemicals used during farming and after harvesting.
