10 Easy Ways To Detox Your Body

Detox! Oh it's such a hot term right now. 

But doesn't it mean drinking nothing but celery juice (with the mud still on obviouslah) for 18 months? Or rubbing crystals of epsom salt directly into you cellulite 7 times a day?

Well - no. And certainly not if you're a mum because...who on earth has the time or energy for any of that kind of cr*p??

However - a detox actually is rather a good thing to do. For both our bodies and our minds.

Because, we often become ‘toxic’ after periods of overindulging with fatty foods and alcohol, as well as other toxins.

And when our body is toxic, our natural detoxification system can no longer cope, it becomes overwhelmed causing every other system in our body to become negatively affected.

If you’re suffering from constipation, food allergies, an inability to lose weight, acne, rosacea, eczema, persistent headaches, muscle pain or muscle fatigue – you need to detox.

And, even if you’re not suffering from any of the above, putting your body through a simple detox is good for you for a number of reasons including:

1. It'll remove toxins from your body

Being exposed to toxins like preservatives, pesticides and environmental pollutants affects your metabolism and immune system leading to illness.

2. It'll enhance your immune system

Boosting your immune system will help you to fight off infections like colds and flus and keep you in the best possible health all year round.

3. It'll help you shift any unwanted pounds

Toxins are held in fat cells, slowing the metabolism and affecting the body’s natural ability to burn fat – leading to the inevitable weight gain (groan).
