Detoxifying the body naturally

Your body is able to clear and remove waste products by itself. This happens via the liver, lungs, kidneys, skin and digestive system.

Detoxing can help your body with this.
This means your body has to work less hard and doesn't become overloaded.

Why detox?

Do you suffer from fatigue?
Do you have problem skin?
Do you regularly suffer from headaches?
Too many waste products in the body may be the culprit.

Removing waste products from the body.
A full body detox can help solve this problem.

Too many waste products in your body

Fatigue

Your body is working hard to remove waste products. This wears it out.

Processing waste products costs the body a lot of energy. Your battery therefore runs down quickly. The result is a tired feeling. Even after a good night's sleep you still feel tired.

Problem skin

Is your skin in poorer condition? This may be the result of too many waste products. Examples include more spots than usual, allergic reactions and rashes. Other skin problems are also possible.

Headaches and more

Do you regularly suffer from headaches?
It may be caused by the body being overloaded.

In addition, there are many other symptoms of too many waste products.
Getting ill often, aches and pains, poor digestion, bad breath, sweating more and feeling low are examples.

Where do toxins come from?

You can take in waste products in various ways, for example through food and drink. These toxins can even be present in tap water.

But there are many more culprits, such as alcohol, cigarettes, viruses and medication.

Cosmetics and personal care products can also be a culprit, as can pollutants in the outdoor air.

In short: there are many ways to take in waste products. And it isn't always easy to avoid them.

Detoxifying the body — start at the source

Detoxing can be part of the solution. But first and foremost, it's important to tackle the source of the waste products.

So be mindful of your body and see what you can do to limit or avoid waste products wherever possible.

How do I detox my body?

Still want to give your body a helping hand?
There are several ways to do a full body detox.

The best-known forms of detox are juice cleanses, fasting (intermittent fasting) and colon cleansing.

Exercise and movement

Make sure your fitness is up to standard.
Your breathing is important for removing CO2.

When you breathe more deeply, CO2 is removed faster.
Your lungs play an important role in processing the toxins in your body.

You also sweat during exercise. This also helps ensure waste products are properly removed.

Detoxifying the body with water

As mentioned earlier, nutrition combined with drinking enough is very important.

It's recommended to drink about two litres of water a day. This way you can detoxify your body naturally with water.

Water gets your body working. Toxins are removed through urine and sweat. In this way you can contribute to detoxifying your body. How simple can it be?

It's also possible to detoxify the body naturally with tea.
Certain herbal teas help stimulate the elimination process. Think of turmeric and ginger.

The importance of nutrition

We could write many articles about food intake and its positive impact on the body and health,
given how important and diverse the topic is.

Make sure you get the right nutrients.
Choose unprocessed products and eat plenty of vegetables, fruit, fibre, protein, etc.

Detox in the sauna

Detoxing in the sauna? A good idea. A sauna detox works best in an infrared sauna. By sweating, you detoxify your body naturally. In addition, circulation improves, so toxins are transported to the liver faster. The liver takes care of processing and removing the waste products.

During an infrared sauna session — besides removing waste products — fat cells are also stimulated.
