QUICK & EASY End-of-Year Detox
With a new year fast approaching, it’s the perfect time to cleanse yourself of environmental and dietary toxins that can find their way into your home and body. Leave these pollutants in 2019 with this simple four-step detox and start the new year off on your freshest, most vibrant foot.
1. SWEAT IT OUT
Whether or not sweating actually detoxifies—the science is inconclusive—we can’t deny how amazing a good sauna session makes us feel. While small amounts of heavy metals and BPA from plastics do make their way into sweat, the real benefits come from the exercise and mental detox that result from sweatinducing activities. For movement, sweat, and zen all in one, try hot yoga—just be sure to stay hydrated!
2. PURIFY WITH PLANTS
According to NASA’s Clean Air Study, certain indoor plants are champions at removing carcinogens and other pollutants from the air, including toxic agents found in many common cleaning products. For a natural (and beautiful) way to purify your home, place an air-purifying plant every 100 square feet. Large-leafed philodendron and aloe plants are two particularly effective air filterers.
3. DO A MAKE-UP CHECK-UP
Cosmetics can be full of toxins that irritate the skin or cause dryness. Take five minutes and go through your make-up bag to check for products containing parabens, phthalates, plastics, artificial dyes, or synthetic fragrances. Put your best face forward by ditching these for ones made with botanicals and nourishing plant extracts.
4. CLEANSE YOUR LIVER
With all the toxins we’re exposed to daily, now more than ever it is important to keep your liver clean and healthy.
