Numerous systems and organs which are essential for maintaining the health are placed in our bodies. This is the reason why we should take proper care of our body and give it the things it needs.
Proper diet and regular exercising are the best ways to take care of our body. But, however, there are additional steps which can help to maintain our health. Over time, stress, inactivity, and poor diet can result in thick fluids and clogged organs.
So, it is of great importance once a year to reset your organs by detoxifying your body.
These are 7 most important organs and systems to detox and how to do it:
Gallbladder
The gallbladder and the liver are of great importance for the proper digestion. When the body is full of toxins, the bile in the gallbladder which is released from the liver can become over concentrated.
This can clog the gallbladder and lead to gallstones and pain. Usually, people who have high cholesterol levels and a diet high in fats suffer from gallstones.
However, gallstones can be caused by losing weight too quickly, skipping meals, or not eating enough fiber.
It is very important to avoid food rich in fats, eat enough fiber, and stay hydrated. Also, peppermint ingestion and daily milk thistle can help your gallbladder.
Liver
The liver regulates cholesterol and hormones, and stores vitamins, glycogen, and iron. Also, it detoxifies the blood and metabolizes alcohol and drugs.
The regular prescription use, the excess consumption of processed foods and alcohol can overwhelm the liver, and impede its function.
And, without the proper function of the liver you are more prone to chronic disease and toxic overload.
In order to clear your liver, you need to avoid alcohol, processed foods, and high sugar foods. Make sure to eat: cumin, tomatoes, turmeric, ginger, beets, lemon, cruciferous vegetables, cayenne, and garlic. Moreover, you can use dandelion root, artichoke, burdock root, and some herbs milk thistle.
Kidneys
These two organs in a shape of a bean are responsible for filtering out the waste and toxins from the bloodstream. Also, they balance the body’s minerals, produce hormones and help to regulate hydration. Bananas, kiwi, lemon, beets, prunes, oranges, and grapes are foods which are rich in potassium and which can help you in cleansing the kidneys.
You can detox your kidney with herbal teas such as ginger, horsetail, dandelion root, goldenrod, and uva ursi.
Also, when it comes to urinary tract infections, cranberries are considered as extremely effective due to the nutrient they contain known as quinine which converts itself into hippuric acid. It has the ability to prevent kidney stones by clearing the excess buildup of urea and uric acid in the kidneys.
Blood
Blood transports oxygen and nutrients to every cell in the body and collects its waste for processing, which makes it one of the most important fluids in the body. It carries all essential that our body needs so it can have a proper function, and this is the reason why it should be detoxified.
Poor diet and age can be the cause for the arteries to become less flexible and full of plaque, limiting blood circulation and putting stress on your heart.
When there is no proper function of the kidneys and liver, there are excess toxins in the blood, which are circulated to the major organs.
So, it is of great importance to eat blueberries, beets, lemons, garlic, dark leafy vegetables, etc.
You can use herbal remedies including goldenseal root, bloodroot, sheep sorrel, cayenne, cat’s claw, burdock root, red clover, etc.
Lymph
Lymph is the fat-rich and protein fluid that flows through the lymphatic system. Lymph is responsible for carrying vital white blood cells that are able to fight off infection. The proper lymphatic function depends on movements as yoga, walking, etc.
Avoid processed food and drink plenty of water in order to clean out your lymphatic system. Also, you can remove the toxins from the body by soft lymph massages.
Intestines
The digestive system converts the food we eat, processes waste from food and eliminates it from the body, and transfers any nutritional value from that food to our cells. The intestines are essential for the overall body function.
It is considered that some foods can cause a build-up of mucus or also some of them can stick onto the intestines. Both of them can cause inflammation and build-up of toxins which enter the bloodstream.
And, this can result in weight gain, low energy, fatigue, and headache. Constipation can cause damaging effects on the nervous system.
You should try Indian gooseberry or Triphala in order to cleanse your colon of toxins. Coffee enemas also can be great for a colon and liver cleanse. It is recommended to increase your water intake, to consume kefir, ginger, magnesium, garlic, activated charcoal or bentonite clay.
Pancreas
The pancreas is responsible for the production and release of insulin (the hormone which regulates glucose metabolism), thus preventing the excess increasing of blood sugar.
At the time when fat clogs up the pancreas, the pancreas is no longer able to produce enough insulin which can regulate the blood sugar. This is considered as one of the main causes of diabetes.
Also, inflammation can obstruct the proper function of the pancreas. This is the reason why your diet should contain more anti-inflammatory foods as turmeric, lemon, and pineapple.
