1. More Energy
By cutting out the sugar, caffeine, trans fat, saturated fat, and replacing them with fresh fruits and vegetables, you’ll be getting a natural energy boost, one that comes without a resultant crash.
2. No More Excess Waste
Most detox programs are designed to stimulate the body to purge itself, helping the liver do its thing as well as the kidneys and colon.
3. A Stronger Immune System
Detoxing your body helps your organs to work the way they should. Many of herbs you take while on a detox will support your lymphatic system, which helps your body to stay fit and healthy.
4. Healthier Hair
When your hair is able to grow uninhibited by internal toxins you’ll see and feel the difference in your hair. In many instances hair gets shinier, and feels softer to the touch.
5. Healthier Skin
You can expect clearer, smoother skin at the end of your detox plan. It’s also been reported that detoxing can help with acne, although the condition may worsen before it gets better as the toxins are released.
6. Better Breath
It’s been discovered that one contributor to bad breath is a backed up colon. When you are able to clear it out and get your digestive system functioning well again, you may find that your breathing improves.
7. Fight Your Addictions
If you have addictions to sugar, caffeine, fried, or crunchy foods you can use a detox program to help you kill those cravings.
8. Think More Clearly
The use of meditation is often recommended as a way to get back in touch with your body during this time of purging and cleansing of toxins. Detox followers often say that they lose that sense of fogginess, and are able to think more clearly during a detox than when not on it.
9. Stay Young
By reducing the amount of free radical damage done to the body, you’re going to see not only short term benefits, but also long term benefits in an increased longevity.
10. Feel Good
When you detox, you get an improved sense of well-being, and when you feel good, good things happen. Detoxing is often used strategically to lose weight or to start a new diet plan, but really there’s no better reason than just to feel better.
Beware of the Following Detox Methods
Sweating: Sweating out toxins is not an accurate phrase, despite being so popular. Sweat is 99% made up of water, with a tiny bit of salt, urea, proteins, and carbs. Anything truly toxic, like mercury, alcohol, or drugs, is eliminated by your liver, kidneys, and digestive system.
Fasting: If you fast in an uncontrolled way, you’re often depriving your body of nutrients needed to keep it running strong, healthy, and detoxing at the utmost efficiency.
