Harmful substances are everywhere.  They are in the air, the water and our food.  Toxins are poisonous substances that are chemically unstable in the body. 

We accumulate toxins in the environment, such as cigarette smoke or exhaust fumes.  Other ways include the intake of alcohol, food additives, chemicals, heavy metals and pesticides.

You know after New Year’s Eve a lot of us probably had a higher than normal consumption of alcohol and this can cause liver dysfunction.  Organs affected by detoxification are the liver, kidneys, large intestines and the skin. 

Detox Naturally

By following a natural detoxification regimen, we can get our bodies back into shape and toxin free.  We will also feel much better and actually look younger too.  So, there are some herbs that we can include in our diet that will help us detox naturally.  One is dandelion.  It actually increases bile flow and removes liver congestion.  Some have even reported it helps to remove gallstones. 

Another great herb is silymarin.  It’s found in the herb milk thistle and protects and strengthens the liver.  These herbs help prevent toxins from damaging your liver by blocking them.  They are geared toward cleansing your body of the unnatural toxins that lay dormant and clog our systems. 

Water is critical to the detoxification process.  Water is essential for your inner health.  Drink at least eight cups of water each and every day.

By adding a few simple herbs you can actually feel healthier, your skin will feel and look much better too.  So, add a little into your diet and start the new year off right.
