The modern way of life has numerous merits, from easy access to versatile foods, to advanced medical care. It also has a number of setbacks, such as living in continuous pollution, be it air, noise, or soil, and thus putting too much pressure on our body to process all kinds of harmful substances every day. Not to mention that many live with poor, unhealthy habit such as smoking or alcohol consumption, or opioid addiction.

Even without addiction, your body has to rely on its own detoxifying systems to flush out waste matter and manage toxins properly, so that you can stay healthy and your immune system strong. Your liver and your kidneys serve to help your body make the most of all the nutritious goodies you consume through food and water, but they also need to make sure your body removes all toxins naturally out of your system.

Sometimes, it’s a good idea to help your liver detox and your entire organism cleanse through restructuring your nutrition properly. Here’s a guide for a detoxing diet you can try when you feel that your immune system is faltering or that you need to restore your energy levels as well as your overall health.

It all begins with hydration

Always keep a fresh bottle of water with you. It can be an insulated water bottle of a specific capacity, to make sure you don’t waste too much time going back and forth, refilling the bottle. Keep track of your water intake, and you’ll help your liver and kidneys do their jobs, since water is the key ingredient to aid your organ’s natural detoxing mechanisms.

Ample water will also help your body absorb all the nutrients you ingest, and it will keep you energized, especially when you feel those sugar cravings kicking in. 

Cleansing supplements to ease the process

There are so many detoxing diet options out there. All of them, however, make it extremely difficult for you to consume enough micronutrients every day, due to their restrictive nature. Instead of an unstructured approach, you should first learn how to detox your system with the help of the right foods and supporting supplements based on healthy ingredients. 

This will help you ensure that you consume enough vitamins and minerals every day while you also stick to your caloric needs. Always make sure that you’re properly hydrating during a detox, especially when relying on these powerful additions to your menu, so that you can help your body flush out toxins with ease.

Ditch harmful foods and substances

When it comes to detoxing, it’s more about what you don’t do than vice versa. Yes, while you can introduce superfood-based supplements, whole foods, and fresh treats into your diet, you also need to make sure you skip what’s pushing your body into overdrive to begin with.

Eliminate alcohol, coffee, sugar-loaded juices, refined sugar in general, and smoking. By ditching these habits, you’ll help your body detox properly with your new diet and start a whole new lifestyle approach. 

Manage your cravings with healthy treats

Making up your mind to detox takes a lot of energy and willpower. To persevere, you should prepare yourself for handling those cravings and remove any temptations you can. You’ll likely find yourself craving junk food because it leads to that dopamine rush and gives you an instant energy boost, but it’s also followed by a quick energy slump.

So, instead of reaching for store-bought cookies and snacks, you should make a fresh fruit salad, snack on a handful of nuts and seeds, or make your own raw cupcakes with purely healthy ingredients. 

Choose whole foods whenever you can

Fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and organic, grass-fed, free-range animal products such as eggs and meat can do wonders for your body – when you consume them in normal ranges and with a mindful approach. Whole foods are packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and they don’t contain the many additives and unhealthy ingredients that packaged, store-bought foods typically have. Make sure to rely on whole, locally-sourced, seasonal foods during your cleanse. 

Wrap it all up with proper sleep

When you sleep, your body goes into repair mode: it sends those vital nutrients you’ve consumed all throughout your bloodstream to “fix” what needs fixing and restore your energy levels, rebuild muscle tissue, and the like. Without sleep, your body couldn’t function optimally every day, and your hormones would wreak havoc on your wellbeing.

In essence, sleeping is that natural detox mode for your entire body. You need to make sure that your strong, healthy diet is further reinforced with sleep, so that you can make the most of the food you eat and other detoxifying steps you take. 

Dieting is not just about what you serve on your plate. It’s also about how mindful you are when you consume the foods you choose, how you prepare them, the water you drink, and most of all, it’s what you choose not to do. It’s difficult when you decide to let go of vices such as smoking, drinking, and eating processed sugar – but the effort will be worth your while when you realize just how helpful it is for your entire body and immune system to go for nutrient-dense, nourishing foods instead. 

Use this guide to rethink your habits and your everyday behavior, and not only will your detox session be more effective, but your entire lifestyle will improve over time.
