Focus on antioxidants
Foods that are full of antioxidants are recommended to help detoxify your body. According to health experts, antioxidants protect your cells from free radicals. Of course, your body naturally produces free radicals, but people who smoke, drink too much alcohol, live in a toxic environment and follow a poor diet are more likely to produce excessive free radicals that can lead to oxidative stress, asthma, heart disease, cancer and liver disease.
In this case, it’s recommended that you consume more foods rich in antioxidants to help your body eliminate these toxins. The most common sources of antioxidants are berries, cocoa, veggies, spices, coffee and green tea. Warning: green tea and coffee contain caffeine, so drink them in moderation.
Eat more foods that contain prebiotics
First of all, it’s essential to keep in mind that your gut health is important to help detoxify your body. So, if you want to improve your gut health, all you have to do is to eat more foods high in prebiotics. Prebiotics are a type of fiber that can improve your good bacteria (called probiotics) in your gut.
The most common foods that contain prebiotics are tomatoes, bananas, asparagus, onions, garlic and oats.
Exercise more
Regular exercise can help you stay healthy and improve your quality of life. Some studies have shown that people who exercise for at least 30 minutes every day are less likely to develop diabetes, heart disease, certain cancers, obesity and high blood pressure.
The best part is that physical activity can actually reduce inflammation. Inflammation can adversely affect your body and health, so the detoxification process will be also affected. By reducing inflammation, your body will be better able to fight off toxins.
