Believe it or not, your body speaks to you every day. Just like you can tell when it’s time to go to bed because you are tired, is the same way, your body communicates to you when it’s time to detox.
Detoxing simply means taking time out from unhealthy foods to help your body get rid of toxic substances.
People have different ways of detoxing; some people will take water for a week or two to substitute all other sugary drinks while others will take green tea. It all depends with what works for you.
The following are signs that your body badly needs detoxing now:
1. Inexplicable fatigue
This is the most common telltale sign that your body needs detoxing. You are constantly tired and you find it hard to complete scheduled tasks. Do you feel like even if you have slept for hours and hours you still wake up as tired as you went to bed? It’s time to detox. After this you will notice your energy levels start to improve.
2. Skin problems
When your skin starts acting out, this could be a sign that you need to detox like yesterday. Some of these issues include dry skin, rashes, and breakouts on your face and sometimes even itchiness which may cause you some discomfort. Your skin is your best shot at knowing something is wrong with your body, best you detox before the issue gets out of hand.
3. Weight gain
Of course taking unhealthy foods will cause unnecessary weight gain and sometimes you can try to diet and nothing works. When you try losing weight and it is all in vain, you could consider detoxing first. In most cases weight gain will be accompanied by a constantly bloated stomach that will seem impossible to get rid of.
4. Chronic headaches
Headaches might be a sign of many underlying issues, but when you have ruled out everything and still your headaches seem to be persisting. This could be a sign that you need to detox. In most cases headaches will go hand in hand with fatigue and you won’t be able to concentrate on one thing for a while.
5. Insomnia
Last but not least is insomnia. If you find yourself sleepless at night, then this could be a sign that your body needs cleansing. In most cases, there could be an imbalance in your cortisol levels. Cortisol hormone is released by the body to relieve stress. Cortisol levels are highest in the morning and they drop progressively throughout the day to help you get restorative sleep at night.
When you experience insomnia it means that your cortisol levels are highest in the evening and you feel more active at night.
