Don’t forget to bathe and exfoliate your body too, so that the toxins are gotten rid off completely.

Drink more water

This cannot be over flogged, drink more water to aid your body functions. Also, you can add some lemon (not lime) in your first drink of water in the morning as lemon is beneficial in re-hydrating the system and promoting digestion too. Sometimes, i do a lemon and mint leaves detox by steeping lemon slices (with the skin) and some mint leaves in water and drinking for some days. You should also increase your tea intake for better overall health, especially herbal teas. They are great sources of anti-oxidants which help slow down aging and protect the body cells from toxins.

These were grown with less chemicals and thus are safer for consumption.
