Growth or Decay – Physical | Detoxification

How can you implement simple strategies to clean out the toxins and chemicals and free off the toxic load in your body?

Toxins can be found everywhere, in the food we eat, the air we breath, the water we drink, the alcohol we drink, cleaning products, beauty products, food packaging, feminine hygiene products, etc, etc!

Our bodies are really clever and inside of us all the time, we are detoxing! But what happens when we have high levels of toxins in the body? What is the toxic load for your body?

You can’t avoid it completely, but you can make conscious decisions to eliminate most of these from your system. Toxins damage our bodies in many ways, damage to organs, increase rate of aging/degeneration, cell membrane and enzyme damage, hormone imbalance and not only that, but toxins significantly weaken your body's detoxifying system!

First, identify your sources, do you know which fruits and vegetables carry the most pesticides? Top tip: If you can’t buy organic all the time, then go for organic at least for strawberries, spinach, apples, tomatoes & celery. Also, according to a recent study, washing your fruit & veg with a baking soda and water solution removes significantly more of the pesticides than plain tap water alone.

Does your nutrition support your body & liver to in it’s efficiency to detoxify?

· Cruciferous vegetables; cabbage, kale, cauliflower

· Citrus; lemons, grapefruits, oranges,

· Herbs; turmeric, parsley

· Nuts & Seeds, especially walnuts

· Garlic and onion

· Avocados (yay)!

· Strawberries, blueberries, beetroot, sweet potato

· FIBRE

What about your personal care products? Do you know that the brand you are using is 100% safe and toxin free? Depending on where you live in the world anywhere from 0-1000+ toxic chemicals are banned from personal care products. However, even at the highest level, lots of little PEG’s, perfumes, parabens, dibutyl, parabens etc etc are still floating about, happily being absorbed by our bodies day in, day out. (Girls this includes your sanitary wear –change out to cups or period panties or at the very least, go organic). All of Arbonne’s products , make up, skin care, body care, nutrition etc. are guaranteed toxin free, with over 2000 ingredients banned from our ingredients list.

And cleaning? Every time you are using your cleaning products, you are breathing in the toxins exhumed form them, and maybe running your bath or shower around with some grime busting concoction, leaving a nice film of product on the outside ready to open your pores with the hot water and absorb the residue into your skin and body… nope, bad idea. Try using natural solutions that include, lemon juice, essential oils, white vinegar, castile soap. I use 1 part castile soap to 3 parts water and a few drops of Peppermint & Eucalyptus oil, it does the job every time and it smells amazing!

So there are just a few ways you can support your body to give you the best life and body. Healthy from the inside out, it all starts with your food and daily routines. I challenge you to take a look in to your products and habits and see where you can make some toxic free changes in your life, today!
