Feeling run down? Somehow….unclean? Got dull skin and hair? These vegan detox products can help!
By Lora O’Brien
Modern living can come at a great cost to our health. We’re constantly surrounded by air pollution, food sprayed with toxic chemicals, and polluted water (even tap!). Our gardens are sprayed with pesticides, and we’re bombarded by harmful wifi frequencies. The cosmetics, cleaning products and even clothing we use are comprised of dangerous chemicals. Some people even suffer from addictions to drugs and alcohol.
In short, literally all of us are probably in need of a good detox.
To aid the efficient running of vital organs such as the liver and kidneys, it’s a great idea to adopt healthy everyday practices, such as eating a clean diet. But you can also go on detox retreats or buy commercial detoxing products to help flush toxins out. (Given that livestock are exposed to the same contaminants humans are, we’d recommend vegan detox products, and that’s what we’ll discuss in more detail, below.)
How do our bodies become full of toxins?
Antigens are substances on the surface of cells, viruses, fungi, or bacteria. Toxins such as chemicals, drugs, unhealthy foods and even too much of what’s in our own body (like hormones) can also be considered antigens. The problem? When you’re bombarded by toxins, the immune system tries to destroy them, and might get overworked. That means you feel run down, and are more likely to get sick.
Below are different kinds of toxins you should know about:
Emotional toxins: Negative emotions have negative effects on the body. They can cause disruptions in the nervous and endocrine systems, creating an excess of hormones like cortisol, which become toxic to the body.
Lifestyle toxins: These are found in a poor diet, especially packaged, corporate food. Think: alcoholic beverages, soda, processed and sugary foods. But that’s not all: cigarettes, coffee and prescription medicines fall into this category, too.
Environmental toxins: These are toxins you’ll find surrounding you in everyday life, from polluted air and water to industrial products such as pesticide chemicals and glyphosate. They’re also in many mainstream household cleaning products..
Signs your body needs a detox
In modern life, we tend to accept ill health all too easily. When you feel bad, whether it’s unexplained fatigue or bloating, it’s a sign that something in your body is amiss. Pay attention! If you’re wondering what some of the key signs your body might display when it’s overloaded with toxins, they are:
- Unexplained fatigue
- Feeling irritable
- Unstable emotions, such as lack of motivation, energy and enthusiasm for life
- Depression
- Blemishes
- Craving junk food
- Skin conditions like eczema
- Allergies
- Bloating
- Puffiness, especially around the face and eyes
- Signs of poor immunity, such as getting repeat infections
- Inability to focus
- Lack of quality sleep
All of the above symptoms are indications that you might need to try some vegan detox products, such as those below.
Simple ways to detox the body
There are loads of natural ways you can help aid the body in detoxing. Here below are some small yet impactful ways to optimise your body’s natural detoxification system:
Drink less alcohol: 90% of alcohol is metabolised in your liver. So regular excessive alcohol consumption will reduce your liver’s ability to maintain its normal functions, one of which is detoxifying. Not to mention it can severely damage the liver causing fat buildup and inflammation.
Stay hydrated: We all know the drill: stay hydrated. But drinking water does more for the body than simply quenching our thirst. It regulates our body temperature, lubricates joints, aids nutrient absorption and helps to detoxify the body. This happens by removing waste products from our blood. So chug, chug!
Get quality sleep: We’ve all gone to bed early, scrolled aimlessly on our phone and then had disturbed and broken sleep. Getting quality sleep allows our brain to reorganise, recharge and eliminate toxins that our body has accumulated throughout the day.
Clean up your diet: Reduce processed foods, and you’ll reap so many rewards health-wise. Not only is a high consumption of highly processed foods linked to obesity and chronic diseases, but having excess fat can block the body’s natural ability to detox. This can then harm organs that play a crucial part in cleaning your body, such as the liver and kidneys. Some of the vegan detox products, below, can and should be consumed daily.
Clean up your home, and beauty routine, too! Stop using mainstream cleaning products that are full of chemicals. Swap over to natural brands instead. The same goes for your cosmetics and skincare products. This will reduce your exposure to intentionally toxic chemicals you’d otherwise be inhaling. Check out our suggestions for non-toxic deodorants, moisturisers and shampoos.
(Note: If you suffer from addictions, and need drug and alcohol treatment, please seek professional advice.)
