Our organs and tissues can be overloaded with end products of metabolism (slags) for various reasons. This happens after any illness, with a lack of vitamins and movement, as well as with constipation, an excess of heavy food (meat and fat) in the diet, eating dry (if the body receives little liquid, the kidneys do not work at full strength). Many toxins are formed and the decomposition of subcutaneous fat during fasting. They have an unpleasant smell - hence the stale breath that appears when trying to severely restrict themselves in food.
To avoid self-poisoning of the body, the end products of metabolism must be removed from the body, activating the work of its purification systems - skin, liver, kidneys, lungs, intestines.

Mineral soap instead of soap
Pay attention to oxygenated (oxygen-enriched) mineral water. The biochemical processes that it triggers in the body can be described figuratively as general cleaning. Oxygen and antioxidants perform the role of soap in the internal environment, and the water itself flushes the liver, kidneys and intestines, releasing them not only from toxins, but also from the accumulated stones and sand.
If you have no problems with the kidneys and heart, during the day it is recommended to drink 1.5-2 liters of still mineral water.
To remove toxins and excess salt from the body (and at the same time and drop for a month to 5 kg) will help cooked according to the recipes of yogis rice (it is better to choose long-grained untreated, with a slightly yellowish hue).
With breakfast, wait 4 hours. Try to stick to a vegetarian diet, abandon the salty, sweet and spicy. At least twice a day, you become douche: toxins and salt will act on the skin - they must be washed off thoroughly.

Herbal "broom"
Help in "cleaning" the body and plant. The most detox-active flowers are chamomile pharmacies, black currant leaves, strawberries, cowberries, burdock, birch buds, bearberry grass, grass and dill fruits. Their infusions phytotherapists are recommended to take as cleansing tea. The leaves of the black currant promote effective washing of the intercellular substance and the removal of toxins from it. Particularly active infusion of them cleanses the liver, heart, artery walls and lymph nodes, which in itself is unique!

Vegetarian unloading
When digesting meat in the body, much more toxic substances are formed than with the assimilation of plant proteins and fiber. To help the body get rid of harmful substances, temporarily give up meat, eggs and milk, after sitting 7-10 days on vegetables and fruits. They stimulate the work of the intestines, liver, kidneys, and also normalize the intestinal microflora. Note: some vegetables and fruits are able to accumulate nitrates and other harmful substances. Therefore, do not forget to remove the dangerous parts: in carrots always cut the tail, in white cabbage remove the top leaves and cob, in greens get rid of the "legs", cleanse the cucumber from the peel.
And finally - about enemas and hydrocolonotherapy (washing the large intestine). Most doctors warn: these procedures should be treated with great care. Abuse of "cleansing" enemas can lead to dysbiosis and disruption of digestion. And the direction for hydrocolonotherapy should be given by a gastroenterologist. To remove from the body toxic substances can be more simple way.
Within 7-10 days (but no longer), drink in the morning on an empty stomach a glass of mineral water without gas with activated carbon (at the rate of 1 tablet per 10 kg of weight). Breakfast should be started 1-2 hours after this. And to establish a daily natural cleansing of the intestine, use prunes every day (10-15 pieces), take food in small portions 4-5 times a day and at least half an hour actively move. "Cleaning" is quite a serious test for the body, so it is advisable to visit a gastroenterologist and find out if you have any contraindications to such procedures. For example, if you have a stone in the gallbladder (of which you do not suspect existence), taking choleretic teas can result in a biliary colic and an ambulance. But unloading days, physical activity, cleaning baths, massage and wraps will not do any harm!

Spring light-menu
On cleansing days it is advisable to restrict milk and vegetable food, giving up meat, fatty foods, fried and sweet. Once a week, it is useful to arrange a day of discharge, sitting on kefir (1-1.5 liters) and apples (about 1 kg). This express diet has a diuretic effect - it causes the kidneys to actively remove excess liquid from the body, and with it the final products of metabolism. And even take the rule of drinking a day 2-3 cups of green tea, preferably with a lemon. This favorite drink of the people of the Land of the Rising Sun removes harmful substances from the body, and at the same time helps to get rid of excess weight. In addition, it is proved: green tea reduces blood pressure and blood sugar. Do not forget about freshly squeezed citrus juices - they also have a good cleansing effect. But just before you drink the juice, dilute it with a little water - so as not to irritate the gastric mucosa.
