Is it pos­si­ble to cleanse the body of tox­ins? Yes, sure. But it’s not about expen­sive detox drinks and oth­er stray things that rep­re­sen­ta­tives of all sorts of net­work busi­ness­es try to sell you from time to time. The only prop­er way to get rid of tox­ins is to keep your inter­nal organs healthy.

If your liv­er, lungs and kid­neys are work­ing, your body already has every­thing you need for a suc­cess­ful detox, accord­ing to nutri­tion­ists. Here are five ways to keep these inter­nal organs healthy and show them a lit­tle love.

1. Drink plenty of water

Drink­ing water is impor­tant for main­tain­ing kid­ney health. The bet­ter the water bal­ance is main­tained, the bet­ter they remove tox­ins from the blood. Exact­ly. Our body removes tox­ins along with excess flu­id in the form of urine, so it is very impor­tant to always con­sume enough water so that this process speeds up and runs well.

Also, water helps keep the arter­ies clean and open so that blood can flow freely through the veins and deliv­er oxy­gen not only to the kid­neys, but to all inter­nal organs. Dehy­dra­tion just ruins every­thing.

2. Maintain a healthy weight

And no, this is not anoth­er attempt to shame the fat ones. Try to main­tain your weight in accor­dance with the rec­om­men­da­tions of doc­tors, as excess fat harms the liv­er. You should not deny your­self food and starve your­self, but you should not overeat either.

3. Get enough sleep

The cor­rect amount of sleep is at least 7 hours per day for an adult. With con­stant air raid alerts, that num­ber is hard to reach, so feel free to take breaks and naps if you’re work­ing from home. And if you’re at the office, try to get a good night’s sleep when you get home.

Peo­ple who don’t get enough sleep put their liv­ers at risk as they increase their risk of gain­ing unhealthy weight.

4. Strive for proper nutrition, eat nutritious food

What you eat has a big impact on liv­er health, and main­tain­ing it is very impor­tant, as the liv­er is one of the few organs in our body that can repair itself. And at the same time, liv­er dis­eases are one of the most insid­i­ous, as they can be asymp­to­matic until it is too late.

That is why doc­tors rec­om­mend stick­ing to a healthy diet and lifestyle so as not to inter­fere with the liv­er to recov­er. Nutri­tion­ists rec­om­mend con­sum­ing more fruits and veg­eta­bles, whole grains, nuts and legumes, as well as lean meats and oily sea fish.

5. Regular charging

Reg­u­lar exer­cise is the key to main­tain­ing liv­er and body health. Com­bined with weight loss and prop­er nutri­tion, exer­cise can help regen­er­ate your liv­er and restore your metab­o­lism, mak­ing you feel much bet­ter.
