A body detox is the best way for one to reach those fitness goals that you’ve not been able to handle for the last few years.

Simply put, detoxification means purifying the blood and without a doubt, it should be done at least, once a year. In doing so, one can purify the blood by removing toxins and thus, help you maintain optimum health as well as prevent disease as a result.

Here are 7 simple ways by which you detoxify your blood:

#3: Spend some time in a sauna so that your body can eliminate waste through perspiration.

#5: Breathe deeply so as to allow more oxygen to enter your circulatory system.

#6: For your diet, it’s a good idea to eat more fiber and which includes brown rice, vegetables and organically-grown fresh fruits. Some of these foods include cabbage, artichokes, beets, radishes and so on and so forth.
