1) Drinking
In order to cleanse your body effectively you should pay attention to what you drink every day. First of all you should increase your daily intake of water to at least 8 glasses or 2 liters. Start your day with a glass of water and follow each meal or snack with other ones.
Drink fresh juices made of fruits and vegetables. They’re rich in phytonutrients, packed with anti-oxidants, and chock-full of anti-inflammatory plant compounds that support all phases of the body’s digestion, detoxification and elimination functions. Squeeze ½ a lemon in glass of water and drink it every day before breakfast.
Limit your alcohol intake or abandon it at all. The toxins contained in can impair liver and kidney function, which may prevent your body from being able to cleanse itself naturally. When your body is unable to cleanse itself, serious health conditions such as diabetes and obesity are a risk.
Start drinking tea instead of coffee first hand in the morning. Don’t be afraid you’ll lack your usual amount of energy you got used to every morning. Green tea contains the same amount of caffeine as coffee; moreover, it helps in detoxifying and keeping you full of energy throughout the day.
2) Eating
Eat raw fruits and vegetables. These are products rich on fiber and protein which helps your body to detoxify. It’s essential to eat more food containing vitamin C such as oranges, lemons and grapefruits. They don’t only improve our immune system but also help our body to get rid of toxins by itself.
In addition to raw fruits and vegetables, a well-balanced cleanse also incorporates plant-based proteins from garbanzos, lentils, peas, almonds, almond milk, walnuts, or sunflower seeds. When combined with raw fruits and veggies, plant-based proteins initiate healing, accelerate fat-burning, refresh the mind and body, and keep us clean, pure, vibrant, and strong – all the way down to a cellular level.
One of the great ways to detox our body is fasting. You can either try not eating at all for 2-3 days or reduce your meals from 3 to 2 times a day. Keep in mind that you should drink much liquid throughout fasting so you help your body concentrate on unnecessary stuff inside in order to get rid of it.

3) Exercising
Doing sports and exercising play a very significant role in the process of purifying our body. Remember to sweat daily so the toxins go out through your skin. Try jogging for a while in the morning, do morning exercises and try some yoga on weekends. This will help your vital organs relax and work more properly.
Don’t underestimate the importance of sweating. If you are not fit enough to do sports, go to the sauna. Going to sauna regularly will boost your metabolic processes, will improve circulation and will increase oxygenation in the body dramatically. It also will help you rid your body of toxic chemicals and heavy metals stored deep in your tissues, and it will kill microbes and viruses just waiting in the wings to make you sick.

4) Massage & dry brushing
Another method to get rid of toxins in your body is a good massage. Make sure to massage focusing on pressure points within the muscles, where toxins have a tendency to accumulate. The deep stimulation of this muscle tissue can actually release the toxins, allowing them to be flushed naturally from the system. In order to be sure it’s done properly you may refer to a good therapist at least once a month.
It may seem a bit weird for you but another good time-proved method of purifying your body is dry brushing. While doing so you are removing dead skin cells from the surface and let your skin both breathe and look more beautiful. Moreover, it helps your lymphatic system which is the major player responsible for getting rid of all the yucky stuff from your organism. Just buy a simple cheap brush and make your skin breathe.
5) Choose cosmetics carefully
Recent studies have shown that we may actually acquire more toxins through skin absorption than through the foods we eat, and this is especially true due to the lack of regulations banning synthetic chemicals from skin care products. So be aware of some components in your daily creams that might contaminate your body.
Avoid products with parabens (in makeup, shower gels, deodorants, shampoos, facial cleaners), synthetic colors (hidden mostly behind a combination of FD&C or D&C and numbers), fragrances (a term created for a mix of multiple chemicals to protect a company’s ‘secret formula’, in perfumes, shower gels, moisturizers, etc.), phthalates (in nail polish, hair spray, perfumes, lotions), triclosan (in toothpaste, deodorants, antibacterial soaps), sulfates (like SLS/SLES in almost everything that foams), formaldehyde (in nail polish, shower gels, shampoos, conditioners, eye shadows), toluene (in nail polish, hair colour / bleaching products), propylene glycol (in moisturisers, sunscreen, makeup, shampoos, conditioners, hair sprays), sunscreen chemicals (avobenzone, benzophenone, PABA, homosalate, etc.) and paraphenylenediamine (PPD, in hair colours).
The best moisturizers for your skin, body and face are pure oils such as coconut, argan, almond, rose hip, and lavender. The best treatment for your hair is a pure argan oil mask, followed by washing with baking soda and rinsing with apple cider vinegar. If this is too much “nature” for you, look for sulfate-free, paraben-free shampoos and conditioners in health shops.
