Drinking enough water, eating plenty of fiber, getting enough protein, limiting processed foods, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly are ways to help the body detox naturally.

According to Dr. Le Nhat Duy, University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City - Facility 3, body detoxification depends mainly on internal organs. They function naturally without the intervention of unproven products or methods.

Specifically, the liver is the main organ in detoxification, converting toxic substances into less toxic forms or easily excreted through the bile or kidneys. The kidneys filter the blood and remove waste, excess substances and toxins through urine. The lungs help eliminate toxic gases such as CO2 through the respiratory process. Sweat glands in the skin help eliminate some toxins through sweat. The skin also participates in the process of eliminating excess substances. The intestines help eliminate waste. The liver produces bile, which contains toxins that are excreted and excreted through the stool.

According to Dr. Duy, you can apply natural methods to help your body detoxify, as follows:

Drink enough water

Water is a means to help the kidneys filter toxins out of the body through urine. Drinking enough about 2 liters of water per day helps the organs in the body function better and maintain electrolyte balance.

A diet rich in fiber

Fiber is abundant in green vegetables, fruits, whole grains, helps the digestive system work effectively, reduces constipation and supports the removal of waste from the body.

Increase consumption of vegetables and fruits

In addition, prioritizing the use of salt from natural foods such as vegetables, fruits, seafood, nuts and limiting the consumption of processed foods containing a lot of salt such as fast food, canned foods, etc. contributes to supporting the detoxification process and protecting overall health.

These foods also contain many vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, helping to support metabolism and minimize the effects of free radicals - factors that can damage cells.

Sufficient protein

Protein helps the body produce glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that plays an important role in the detoxification process in the liver.

Limit processed foods and sugar

These foods can harm the liver and kidneys, overloading the detoxification function. Eat fresh foods, low in saturated fat and preservatives.

Exercise regularly

Physical activity improves blood circulation, supports the circulatory system and eliminates toxins through sweat.

Get enough sleep

Sleep plays an important role in the body's regeneration and recovery process, helping to eliminate by-products of brain and body metabolism.
