A cleanse or short detox can help you to do a spring reset or just stay on track with your health goals.<\/p>\n
A detox<\/strong> is simply a way to rid your body of toxins that have built up. Spring is the perfect time for a detox because many of the foods that are naturally detoxifying are in season during at this time. Take advantage by adding plenty of fresh cruciferous vegetables, berries, and leafy greens to your diet. Supplements can also be a part of detoxing.<\/p>\n Cleansing<\/strong> is also a way of detoxing with a focus on clearing out via the digestive tract, sometimes using added supplements. Ask your health care provider to assist you in creating a cleanse if you feel that you need one. A cleanse may be helpful if you have been experiencing digestive issues because cleansing usually involves eliminating foods that are often allergens such as gluten, dairy, and soy.<\/p>\n Both a cleanse and detox should exclude alcohol and caffeine, as well as substances that cause toxicity such as cigarettes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Plants<\/a> are powerful, so don't underestimate their ability to help detox or cleanse the body. When you consider that some plants have the ability to make us very sick or even die<\/a>, it is easier to understand how they also have the ability to help the body as well.<\/p>\n We are bombarded by toxins on a daily basis no matter how much we try to avoid them. These toxins come from air pollution, including indoor air<\/a>, as well as foods, cleaning products<\/a>, beauty products<\/a> and more. Even cookware can release toxins<\/a>, depending on the type you use. Sadly, thinking you are exempt from toxins for any reason is a mistake. According to the environmental working group<\/a>,<\/p>\n Of the 287 chemicals we detected in umbilical cord blood, we know that 180 cause cancer in humans or animals, 217 are toxic to the brain and nervous system, and 208 cause birth defects or abnormal development in animal tests. The dangers of pre- or post-natal exposure to this complex mixture of carcinogens, developmental toxins and neurotoxins have never been studied.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The article goes on to mention that even more would have been detected if they had tested for a broader range and goes on to explain why that wasn't possible. Even though this is a scary fact of modern life, we can combat these toxins by avoiding them when we can as well as by scheduling a detox or cleanse from time to time.<\/p>\nThere are lots of ideas and areas that come to mind when planning a spring reset<\/h3>\n
