GETTING RID OF TOXINS

A toxin is a poisonous substance produced within living cells or organisms;[1][2] synthetic substances created by artificial processes are thus excluded. The term was first used by organic chemist Ludwig Brieger

Toxins can be small molecules, peptides, or proteins that are capable of causing disease on contact with or absorption by body tissues interacting with biological macromolecules such as enzymes or cellular receptors. Toxins vary greatly in their severity, ranging from usually minor and acute (as in a bee sting) to almost immediately deadly (as in botulinum toxin).

We can get rid of toxins by following this simple tips:

1.  Avoid eating gluten and processed foods

          Processed foods have been stripped of nutrients, leaving you with mostly artificial   stuff left to eat. Most of these, including gluten (the protein of wheat that's also present in a lot of processed foods), cause a sluggish metabolism and the accumulation of toxins in the body.

2. Have green grapes every day.

           Grapes have a lot of detoxifying qualities, and consuming them at this time of the                                     year can help you draw out toxins from your organs and dump them into your intestines for elimination. Grapes are rich in fiber, so drinking a lot of water is a must to help in the detox process.

3. Take a daily detox tea.

Goldenseal, dandelion and neem are some of the best known detox herbal teas on the market today. You can also make tea with turmeric powder, a well-known herb used in many Indian dishes. If you prefer supplements in pill, you can try milk thistle.

 4. Avoid sugar like the plague.

Sugar, especially the refined kind, is very hard to digest, and messes around with your blood sugar levels. It will be hard to kick the sugar habit, but try to stay away from refined sugars and artificial sweeteners

5. Stretch.

In stretching, you allow oxygenated blood get to all the nooks and crannies of your body, carrying toxins out with it. Exercises like yoga and tai chi are great activities to do in the springtime.

6. Make teas from herbs in your pantry.

In addition to herbs like turmeric, you can make teas of bitter herbs available in your pantry or your refrigerator. Endive, romaine, mustard green, gentian chamomile and goldenseal are but a few examples of herbs you can create tea concoctions with as they will detoxify, improve circulation and increase your metabolism.

7. Take deep breaths.

 First thing in the morning, take a few minutes to breathe deeply 8-10 times. It will be invigorating and cleansing.

8. Make sure you evacuate.

Having 2-3 bowels movements each day is key in the cleansing process.

9. Drink water, lemon, cayenne and vinegar.

Fill a large glass of filtered water with the juice of ½ a lemon, ½ teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and a pinch of cayenne pepper before breakfast will increase your energy and metabolism and will clear mucus and toxins from your vital organs. Drink it every day as long as you like.

10. Sweat it out.

It’s a good feeling when you sweat out because bad toxins will come out.
