You’ve probably heard people talk about detoxing their body. This is a huge buzzword for people who want to rid their body of toxins to improve health or even lose weight. In reality, your body doesn’t need a special juice blend or any medications to “detox” your body of toxins. The body naturally has a detoxification system that involves the liver, kidneys, digestive system, skin, and lungs. If you truly want to ensure your body can remove toxins, you will want to take care of these organs. So here are 4 things you can do to achieve a full body detox by optimizing your natural system.
1. Do IV Nutrient Therapy
You may have only heard about IVs in a hospital setting, but IV therapy is becoming a more popular health practice. So how can it help you fully detox your body? At Elite Personalized Medicine, we offer two types of IV nutrient therapy: Nutrition and Hydration.
IV Nutrition takes vital nutrients and minerals and puts them directly into your bloodstream where your body can absorb it quickly. Your liver, kidneys, and other detox systems need certain vitamins and nutrients to work properly, and this type of therapy can help.
Your organs and skin (the biggest organ you have) need water to be healthy and work at their best. Our IV Hydration blend rehydrates the body, keeping all systems at optimum working order. Both of these therapies can be beneficial to ensure your body’s natural detox systems are working properly.
2. Join Our Weight Loss Program
If your goal with a full body detox is to lose weight, then we can help with that! We provide our patients with a Weight Loss Program where we use our specialties in functional medicine to help you achieve your goals, as well as a Core Restore Detox Kit that we recommend for our weight loss patients. We build a program just for you based on your own diagnostics coupled with traditional weight loss tactics, like reducing processed foods, increasing vegetable and fruit intake, and incorporating exercise. All of these habits will help you steadily and healthily lose weight while also supporting your body’s natural detox systems.
3. Limit Alcohol Consumption
One of the easiest ways to detox your body is to limit how much alcohol you consume. Your liver metabolizes almost 90% of the alcohol that is consumed and turns it into acetaldehyde, a cancer-causing chemical. Your liver then recognizes this unwanted chemical and converts it into a harmless substance called acetate and then eliminates it from your body. If you drink excessively, your liver can get overworked, cause fat buildup, inflammation, and scars. So limiting or stopping alcohol consumption can protect one of the most important parts of your body’s detox system.
4. Exercise Regularly
Regular exercise is known to be beneficial to your body, regardless of if you’re trying to lose weight or not. In relation to a full body detox, you want to move your body to reduce inflammation. Some inflammation is needed, like when your body is trying to heal a wound or recover from an infection. But excessive inflammation weakens the systems in your body and promotes diseases. When you are proactive about reducing inflammation, your body can function properly and that includes your detox system.
A full body detox shouldn’t include trying juice cleanses or taking pills. Your body is naturally capable of removing harmful substances, and you just need to know how to properly support these systems.
