Detoxing removes free radicals from your body. This is important as free radicals destroy cells and these cells are needed to fight up diseases. Your body uses minerals and vitamins to help remove the free radicals, also known as antioxidants. Your body may not, however, remove all free radicals. One way to do this is to detox your body. Below are three benefits of doing this, as well as different ways to detox, you can decide if detox is right for you.

Strengthens Your Immune System

Getting all free radicals out of your body will strength your immune system. This will help you fight off common illnesses, such as colds, flu, and other types of viruses and infections. Besides going through a detox program, you can also eat foods that are rich in free antioxidants, such as strawberries, dark chocolate, blue, red, and purple grapes, blueberries, and many more. You can also take vitamins that are high in antioxidants.

Reduces Ingestion

Detoxing can help reduce ingestion which can help relieve you of heartburn pain and bloating.  The bacteria in high oxidant foods stops the growth of cells that make you sick with infections or viruses. It does this by breaking down the cells enough so your body can easily get rid of them. Feeling less bloated will help you feel much better and your clothes will fit you better. If you have heartburn at night, detoxing will give you better sleep.

Help You Lose Weight

Your body may feel hungry when you are not actually hungry. This can be due to stressful situations as many people turn to food to feel better. This leads to overeating and many people do not choose healthy food but instead foods high in sugar and fats.

Detoxing can help you because it can help remove cells that increase when you feel stressed. Feeling less stress will result in less eating, and then you will lose weight.

Ways to Detox

There are different methods used to detox your body. One is to visit a sauna. When you sweat free radicals leave your body. Sweating will also reduce hormones that accumulate in the fat cells of your body. Exercising will also make you sweat if you do high energy exercises, such as running, aerobics, and walking fast.

There are body wraps that can be used to detox your body. Visit a spa for this type of wrap. Before the spa starts they will exfoliate your skin to open your pores. The wrap will then be rubbed in a thin layer onto your skin. The wrap is generally made of seaweed and mud. Once the wrap is applied you will lay on a table. A thermal blanket is laid over you. This blanket warms your body to bring out the free radicals.

Talk to someone at the sauna about programs in your area, like the Total Body Detox program, that will help you with a detox program.
