The best way to stay fit and healthy is to maintain a consistent diet and exercise routine. Life can get in the way with unexpected situations and events that tend to throw us off balance. But have no fear! Because when you feel a little heavy or guilty for indulging in too many sweets; detoxing is a great way to cleanse your system.
Detox is defined as a process or period of time in which one abstains from or rids the body of toxic or unhealthy substances; detoxification.
Below, I share 4 natural ways that you can detox without breaking the bank to do so!
CUCUMBER WATER:
Foodfunfamily.com breaks down the benefits of cucumber water and how it helps to detox your body from the inside out. The site shares that “Cucumber is an anti-inflammatory (helps prevent water retention) and helps you to stay hydrated. Cucumbers contain antioxidants that help battle free radicals. Cucumbers are a great source of vitamin B, potassium and magnesium, which may help to lower blood pressure.”

FASTING:
The practice of fasting is a natural and inexpensive way to cleanse your body. As a Christian, I fast periodically before The LORD to pray and seek Him. It draws believers closer to Him as we are putting Him first and humbling ourselves in His Presence. Still, Incremental Fasting is a great way to detox your body and to stay in shape; implementing it into your #aesthetic! Home Remedy Central notes that “Most toxins are stored in fat, and because of this, the fastest way to mobilize fat in our body is by fasting.
When we fast, the body makes use of its fat reserves as its source of energy. When fats are metabolized, the by-products, such as the toxins, are eliminated by the body through urine, sweat and feces.”

MORE H2O:
According to healthwholeness.com, “Water can help to flush out your system naturally, and if you drink enough of it then this happens routinely. Proper water intake can contribute to clearer skin, properly functioning organs, and a more effective circulatory, respiratory, and digestive system.” Taking periodical sips throughout the day isn’t going to cut it when it comes to pursuing a healthier lifestyle! Healthline.com highlights that
“The health authorities commonly recommend eight 8-ounce glasses, which equals about 2 liters, or half a gallon.” Thus, it has been dubbed “the 8x8 rule”, which is a great way to help you remember how much water you should be drinking on a daily basis.

STAY FIT:
Another natural way to help detox your body is to exercise more! Livestrong.com reveals that “Exercise is an important part of any detoxification program. Moving the body creates the conditions for the body to breathe, stretch, circulate and sweat. The skin is cleansed from the inside out by the cleansing process of perspiration. Many toxins can be eliminated through the skin by sweating.” https://www.livestrong.com/article/206993-exercise-for-detox/
