5 ways to improve your detox
Embrace an overall healthier lifestyle.
Every system in your body requires rest to function properly, so never skimp on sleep. If you’re sleep-deprived, you’re also less likely to make good decisions about what to put in (or on) your body. During your waking hours, besides limiting the toxins you ingest, follow other healthy detox practices. Drink plenty of water, get lots of exercise and try yoga and meditation, which can detox your attitude as well as your body.
