Your Detoxification system

Your detoxification system involves five primary organs: liver, kidneys, intestines, lungs, and skin. Your body is designed to work all day, use the nutrients you gain from the good foods you eat, and then excrete the resultant waste. in general, it does this overnight while you are sleeping; processing the waste products and facilitating the repair process. Supporting the detoxification system of your body is an important step in maintaining healthy body fat composition, brain health, digestive health, and proper repair of the entire body and all it's systems.

Food to help detoxification

First and foremost is water. It is critical to stay properly hydrated during any detoxification program.

In general, the average human needs half their body weight in ounces of water, e.g. if you are 100 pounds then you need 50oz. of water daily as a minimum. As you add more physical activity, you add more hydration.

Drainage is the other factor. Foods like garlic and radish help to improve overall lymphatic drainage in your body.
