In search of a fresh start, you might find yourself wondering how to detox your body, or if it is even possible to do so.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The truth is, the human body has several systems in place that are designed to filter out unwanted toxins. But unfortunately, the wellness culture leads many to think that they can DIY detox. While that&#8217;s not exactly how detox works, there is a sweet spot where you can nurture the organs that do the detox-heavy-lifting to promote overall health and vitality.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>In this blog post, we\u2019ll explain the different detox systems in the body and how to support them. Plus, we\u2019ll take a closer look at popular detox practices.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"d2d2cc\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #d2d2cc;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BODY-DETOX-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition-jpg.webp\" alt=\"Body detox \" class=\"wp-image-36390 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-detoxification\">What is detoxification?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>In the scope of general health, detoxification is defined as the process of eliminating toxins or other unwanted substances from the body.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Given that there are many misconceptions around detox, it\u2019s important to also understand what detox is <em>not<\/em>. Detox is not a:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>body flush&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cure-all solution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>diet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>replacement for medical treatments or prescription medications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-much-weight-can-you-lose-in-a-month\/\">weight loss<\/a> strategy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p>Think of detox as something that your body is already doing. The body works around the clock to help prevent the build up of substances that can have a negative impact on your health.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-we-detoxing-from\">What are we detoxing from?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, the goal of detox is to rid the body of toxins and unwanted substances.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>It is nearly inevitable to avoid exposure to toxins and unwanted substances. In fact, most people are exposed to a combination of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3083662\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">environmental toxins<\/a> on a daily basis. Usually, exposure happens from breathing in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Polluted air<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cigarette smoke<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strong household cleaning products<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p>Additionally, it\u2019s common to get exposed via known toxins like BPA (found in plastics) or pesticides and chemical fertilizers (found in non-organic foods). Even prolonged exposure to <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/15020192\/\">sunlight<\/a> can create toxins in the body. There are also things our body does every day that produce substances that need to be excreted. When we eat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/why-do-we-need-protein\/\">protein<\/a>, amino acids are broken down and urea is excreted in our urine as a by product of that process. We exhale carbon dioxide, a waste product.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Our bodies naturally excrete these unwanted substances and byproducts. Body waste is a normal part of many of our body\u2019s systems and includes feces, sweat, urine, and exhalations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, the body has many systems in place to filter out toxins and unwanted substances.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-the-body-detoxify\">How does the body detoxify?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>You might picture detox as a cleanse that helps flush out anything that can cause harm within the body. However, detox is actually a much more intricate process. In fact, most of the major organs in the body are involved in detoxification to some degree.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>For instance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The liver<\/strong> is the main organ responsible for detox. <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/1749210\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Liver detox<\/a> can be broken down into two phases. During the first phase, the liver <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK279393\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">converts toxins<\/a> into less harmful substances. In the second phase, the liver processes them into water-soluble substances that can easily be secreted through urine. The liver also creates bile to help with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-digestion-works\/\">digestion<\/a> of fats and elimination of substances via normal digestion processes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The kidneys<\/strong> help filter out toxins from the blood. Particularly, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK538339\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">kidneys<\/a> filter out naturally-occurring internal toxins like urea and electrolytes through urine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The colon<\/strong>, also known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK507857\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">intestines<\/a>, is responsible for eliminating body waste that is created as a result of the digestion of food. Specifically, it helps absorb nutrients and water from indigestible materials. Then, it\u2019ll harden the material into stool for elimination via bowel movements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The lungs<\/strong> play a role in the detoxification of unwanted <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/16092727\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gasses<\/a> into CO2 that we exhale out. It also helps filter out unwanted chemicals called <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/16092727\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">xenobiotics<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The skin<\/strong> helps draw out toxins such as heavy metals, and eliminates them via sweat. It can also help breakdown and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3415238\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">deactivate xenobiotics<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The lymphatic system<\/strong>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3312397\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">network of vessels<\/a> that ultimately drain into the blood, carries the white blood vessels that provide protection against toxins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"products-block -mx-4

They often include juice cleanses, fasting, and detox herbal teas.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, the bulk of these programs are marketed as quick-fix strategies for weight loss, energy, and digestion. Some programs go as far to make promises of disease prevention.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Detox programs feed into the perception that in order to accomplish a health goal, your body needs to have a clean slate.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>However, there is <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25522674\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">no evidence<\/a> that detox programs work or are sustainable. Moreover, most detox modalities fail to identify exactly which toxins they are aiming to eliminate, making it even more difficult to track their effectiveness.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also worth noting that some detox diets are extremely restrictive which can lead to negative health outcomes such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/reasons-to-take-supplements\/\">nutrient deficiencies<\/a> and disordered eating behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-detox-your-body\">How to detox your body\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Remember, your body\u2019s organs are constantly working to filter out toxins.

href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/benefits-of-soluble-fiber-vs-insoluble-fiber\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">whole foods<\/a> on a daily basis is one of the best ways to further support your body\u2019s detox systems.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>In particular, focus on foods that are high in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/prebiotic-fiber\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">fiber<\/a>. Fiber will help keep your digestive system running smoothly by ensuring regular elimination. Foods like beans, oats, whole grains, and fruits and vegetables contain fiber.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables regularly is also an excellent way to get a daily dose of antioxidants. <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23636598\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Antioxidants<\/a> help protect against free radicals that are created as a result of environmental toxins.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Next, support healthy elimination by drinking enough water. Most people should aim to consume around half of their body weight in ounces of water daily.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-get-sweaty\">Get Sweaty<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>We know that sweat is one of the primary ways that the body eliminates toxins and unwanted substances. As such, exercising is an effective way to get sweaty and thus support detox. Not to mention, the movement can also help support regular bowel movements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you can initiate sweating by hitting a sauna.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"797f7c\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #797f7c;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"408\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Detoxing-101-Woman-Working-Out-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition-jpg.webp\" alt=\"people working out to detox body\" class=\"wp-image-36391 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>In summary, detoxification is a normal bodily function that helps eliminate toxins and other unwanted substances.
