Do you know that the average American has over 200 synthetic chemicals in their body? Some of these chemicals are found in our food, water, and air.

Chemicals like BPA from canned goods and pesticides on produce can deplete your immune system. Who knew that a simple detox could be so beneficial for your health?

Detoxification is all about removing toxins from your body to improve its function and create opportunities for healing.

As a chiropractor specializing in natural detox strategies, it's essential for Drs. Jeremy and Jennifer Bischoff of North Star Chiropractic to understand why they should care about the concept of clean living by implementing lifestyle changes such as eating organic foods or trying out new exercise routines.

What is detoxification

Detoxification is the process of removing toxic substances from your body. Your liver, kidneys, and lungs constantly filter toxins you contact through the air, water, and food. However, the body can also create toxins as a byproduct of normal metabolic processes.

When these detoxifying organs are overworked, it's crucial to give them a break to function at their best. That's where detoxing comes into play.

This process aims to help restore the balance between mind, body, and soul while improving overall health and well-being.

In recent years, doctors have been prescribing more and more "detox" diets for their patients with chronic health problems. Detoxing is also popular among those who suffer from moderate symptoms such as headaches or allergies but want to feel better without taking medication.

It's essential to know how detoxification works and if it would be a good option for you.

Foods that aid in detoxification

When the body is in a state of toxicity, it cannot function at its best. Therefore, to ensure that your body can detoxify adequately, you must be sure to provide it with the proper foods.

The body's immune system needs help getting rid of toxins that are stored in the liver. Various foods can aid this process by removing these harmful substances from your body while also providing nutrients that will make you feel good!

Toxins are stored in our fat cells, preventing them from releasing the fat, making it difficult to lose weight. The good news is, there are some easy ways to detoxify, like eating plenty of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Consuming these types of food will also help you feel more energized because they provide you with energy while keeping your blood sugar levels stable by regulating insulin production. But, of course, you'll accomplish this while burning calories too!

The following list contains many different types of food that can aid in detoxification: apples, berries, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage family (cabbage), carrots, cauliflower family (cabbages), celery, and more.

Herbal teas that aid in detoxification

There are many ways you can detoxify yourself, but a great way to do so is by drinking herbal teas! Some of the best herbs for detoxification include dandelion leaf, milk thistle seed, parsley leaf, burdock root, and turmeric root.

These herbs provide nutrients that support liver function and maintain healthy blood sugar levels for sustained energy throughout the day. So why not try adding some of these delicious herbs into your favorite tea blend? With only a few ingredients such as ginger, cinnamon, or cardamom - you can make a tasty drink with health benefits galore!

Supplements that help with cleansing

Many different supplements help with cleansing or detoxing, and each one has its benefits. For example, some people take supplements to help them lose weight by cleansing their digestive system, while others may use them for the opposite reason - to gain weight because they're not getting enough calories. 

Here are a few of the more popular ones:

• Acai berry juice is an antioxidant-rich fruit that can be used for detoxification purposes.
• Green tea extract is often taken as a supplement to aid in digestion.
• Aloe vera juice can be helpful when you have had too much alcohol or eaten something unhealthy.

These three supplements work well on their own but can also be mixed for even more powerful effects.

The importance of water intake in your detox routine

Are you tired of feeling sluggish and lethargic? With water, you can do it! Your body needs water for many functions- including regulating temperature, transporting nutrients, removing wastes, and maintaining a healthy balance of fluids. You need at least 64 ounces of liquid every day. That's one glass per hour!

And if you're trying to detoxify yourself from alcohol or chemicals in the environment, then your body needs even more water during this time. These substances cause dehydration, slowing down all bodily functions, leading to a weakened immune system and increased inflammation levels.

You should drink 16 ounces of water before starting your detoxification routine (to help flush out toxins).
