Did you know there are six organs that support your body’s natural detoxification process?
These include the liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph, colon, and skin.
Each organ works to eliminate excess waste that’s produced by natural metabolic processes, otherwise known as toxins.
Here’s a guide on how to support each of your detox organs with specific nutrients from food.
Liver
This powerful organ cleans the blood and transforms harmful chemicals for eventual excretion.
The kidneys flush water-soluble waste in response to water and electrolyte concentrations.
To support detoxification, drink at least 2 quarts of water daily.
you could naturally detox your lungs bysimply breathing and exhaling deeply.
Sleeping soundly without sleep apnea or excessive snoring also promotes lung detox.
Use a Himalayansalt pipe1or go to the beach to breathe in salt air in order toclean the lungs further2.
Foods with spicy/pungent flavors and slippery/soothing textures are best for lung detoxification.
The lymph system requires movement to make it function well.
you’re able to stimulate lymph flow withcardiovascular exercise4, sweating, and breast massage.
Encourage lymph movement by tapping on your thymus gland (directly behind your sternum) 10 times.
It also houses protective bacteria that make up the body’s ecosystem, called the microbiome.
Consult your health provider to determine the best strategy for you.
We don’t know all the waste products that are absorbed or released from the skin.
But we do know that the skin is our largest living organ, always exchanging oxygen and waste.
Remember to drink water because hydration is key to promoting a healthy sweat.
