4.1. Limit alcohol More than 90% of alcohol is metabolized by your liver. Enzymes in the liver convert alcohol into acetaldehyde, a cancer-causing chemical. Recognizing acetaldehyde as a toxin, your liver converts it into a harmless substance called acetate, which is then eliminated from your body.
While observational studies have shown that drinking in low to moderate levels is beneficial for heart health, drinking too much can cause a multitude of health problems typically severe damage. on liver function by fat accumulation, inflammation, scarring on the liver. That results in your chamber not being able to function fully and do its job including filtering waste and other toxins out of the body.
Therefore, you should limit or quit alcohol to help your body eliminate toxins outside. Health authorities recommend limiting alcohol intake to one to two drinks per day.
4.2. Focus on sleep Sleep is the time for your brain to reorganize and recharge, as well as remove toxins that have accumulated during the day from the body. One of those waste products is a protein called beta-amyloid, which contributes to the development of Alzheimer's disease. With a lack of sleep your body doesn't have time to perform those functions, so toxins can build up and affect several aspects of your body's health.
Ensuring adequate and quality sleep every night is a must for the health of the body and its natural detoxification system. Poor sleep has been linked to short- and long-term health consequences, such as stress, anxiety, high blood pressure, metabolic cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and overweight and obesity.
You should sleep 7-9 hours a night regularly to maintain good health
If you have trouble tossing or sleeping at night, lifestyle changes such as sticking to a sleep schedule and limiting blue light - emitted by mobile devices, televisions and computer screens - before bed is helpful in improving sleep
4.3. Drink more water Water is really necessary for you. Not only does it quench thirst, but it also regulates your body temperature, lubricates joints, aids digestion, absorbs nutrients, and detoxifies the body by eliminating waste. The body's cells must constantly be repaired to function optimally and break down nutrients for the body to use as energy for all activities.
But in these processes there is the release of waste in the form of urea and carbon dioxide which is harmful to your body if it accumulates in your blood.
Water will help transport these waste products and remove them through urine, breathing or sweat effectively. So, drinking enough water in the right way is very important to help your body detox.
According to recommendations, the daily amount of water for men is 3.7 liters, for women is 2.7 liters. You may need more or less depending on your diet, living conditions and your activity level.

4.4. Reduce sugar and processed foods Consuming high amounts of sugar and processed foods has been linked to obesity and other chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. These diseases interfere with your body's natural ability to detox by harming vital organs, such as your liver and kidneys.
Example: sugary drinks can cause fatty liver - a condition that negatively affects liver function.
Using enough snacks, you can keep the body's detoxification system healthy. Replace junk food with healthier choices like fruits and vegetables.
4.5. Eat foods rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants protect your cells against damage caused by molecules called free radicals. Oxidative stress is a condition in which there is an overproduction of free radicals.
Your body automatically produces these molecules for cellular processes, such as digestion. However, alcohol, smoke, a poor diet and exposure to pollutants can create excessive free radicals.
By damaging your body's cells, these molecules have been linked to a number of conditions, such as dementia, heart disease, liver disease, asthma, and certain types of cancer .
Eating a diet rich in antioxidants can help your body fight oxidative stress caused by excess free radicals and other toxins that increase disease risk.
Focus on getting antioxidants from food rather than taking supplements directly, which can increase your risk of certain diseases when you take large amounts.
Examples of antioxidants include vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, lycopene, lutein and zeaxanthin. They are found in berries, fruits, nuts, cocoa, vegetables, spices, and beverages like coffee and green tea.
4.6. Eat foods rich in Prebiotics. A healthy gut is important for your body's detoxification system. Your gut cells have a detoxification and excretion system to protect your intestines and body from harmful toxins, such as chemicals.
Good gut health requires prebiotics. One type of fiber that feeds good bacteria to your gut is called probiotics. With prebiotics, your good bacteria will likely make nutrients known as healthy short-chain fatty acids. The good bacteria in your gut is likely to be out of balance with the bad bacteria due to antibiotic use, poor oral hygiene, and the quality of your meals.
Therefore, this unhealthy bacterial shift can weaken your detoxification system, and increase your risk of other opportunistic and inflammatory diseases.
Eating foods rich in prebiotics can keep your immune and detox systems healthy. Good food sources of prebiotics include tomatoes, artichokes, bananas, apples, asparagus, onions, garlic and oats

By increasing water intake drinking for your body will reduce the secretion of antidiuretic hormone and increase the ability to urinate, remove more water and waste products
Increase the intake of foods rich in potassium - which helps to balance some of the effects of sodium - also useful. Foods rich in potassium include potatoes, squash, kidney beans, bananas, and spinach
4.8. Getting fit with regular exercise has been linked to a longer life and a lower risk of many conditions and diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, some cancers .
While there are some benefits behind exercise, reducing inflammation is the bottom line that is visible. While some inflammation is necessary to recover from an injury or infection, too much of it weakens your body's systems and promotes disease.
By reducing inflammation, exercise can help the body's systems - including the detoxification system - function properly and protect from disease.
You should do at least 150–300 minutes a week of moderate-intensity exercise – with brisk walking – or 75–150 minutes a week of high-intensity physical activity with running
4.9. Some other detox tips Although there is no current evidence to support using a detox diet to remove toxins from your body, some dietary changes and lifestyle practices may help reduce your toxin load and support your body's detoxification system.

Coriander enhances the excretion of certain toxins, such as heavy metals such as lead, and chemicals, including phthalates and insecticides. Glutathione support. Eating sulfur-rich foods like eggs, broccoli, and garlic will boost the function of glutathione, a major antioxidant produced by the body, which is heavily involved in detoxification.
