By Dhwani Jerajani +2 more

When you cleanse your body and rest it so that it can function more efficiently and derive nourishment in the best manner possible it is called ‘Detoxing’ your body. Detoxifying one’s body has been part of most cultures around the world. Be in Unani, ayurvedic, homoeopathic or Chinese medicines Detoxing has been around for centuries.If you have been suffering from unexplained fatigue, dull skin and hair, allergies, tired and puffy eyes, menstrual irregularities, and feelings of anxiety and depression, you need to detoxify your system.

How to Detox?

There are many ways in which you can detox. Fasting is one of them. Giving up on stimulants like alcohol, smoking, caffeine too is necessary. You also need to give up completely on refined and processed food. To detox, you can eat just fruits and vegetables, have only juice and other fluids or go completely hungry for a length of time.

Why detox your body?

  1. Removes toxins from the body
You might have invested in organic produce to reduce the number of toxins in your diet but that doesn’t stop the environmental toxins from entering your system. A detox procedure removes these unavoidable toxins from your body, making you feel more energetic and adding vitality to your life.
  1. Mindfulness
We keep shoving things in our mouth throughout the day without a care about how they are affecting our bodies. A detox program brings us in touch with ourselves and makes us mindful of how our food affects our general well being.   Your food choices get reset to the healthiest choices.
  1. Increase in Energy
Because the system is rid of all the toxins, the body feels a surge in energy after a detox diet. Clean and healthy food brings out vitality and makes one feel light and buoyant. Please remember to keep yourself amply hydrated when you are detoxifying because water accelerates detoxification and also ensures that you avoid headaches and fatigue resulting due to dehydration.Also Read: 9 Energy Giving Foods to Stay Alert

Food cravings are responsible for most weight gain and for eating even when we are full. Excess food can lead to hormonal problems and even getting addicted to eating certain food items. Making food choices that are healthy through a detox program can bring back the focus on the food minus the cravings and the addictions. They provide such satiety that one can get off the addiction bandwagon altogether.
  1. Micronutrients Bonus
Eating nutrient-dense foods in a detox diet can balance the deficiency of nutrients in the body. The vitamins, minerals and other micronutrients get stored and the body begins to function more efficiently.
