1. 8 TIPS TO DETOX THE RIGHT WAY

2. HAVE YOU EVER HAD A NIGHT OUT WITH A FEW DRINKS AND SOME GREASY FOOD...

3. ...BUT THE NEXT DAY, LOOKED INTO THE MIRROR WITH REGRET?

4. YOUR NATURAL GLOW WAS GONE, SO YOU SOUGHT ADVICE ON HOW TO GET IT BACK.

5. AND THIS IS WHERE YOU PROBABLY FOUND LOTS OF DETOX RECIPES & TIPS.

6. BUT DO YOU REALLY NEED A DETOX AFTER A FEW DRINKS AND SOME UNHEALTHY FOOD? ?

7. LET'S LOOK AT WHAT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL HAS TO SAY.

8. ACCORDING TO HARVARD, A DETOX IS “A MEDICAL PROCEDURE THAT RIDS THE BODY OF DANGEROUS, OFTEN LIFE-THREATENING, LEVELS OF ALCOHOL, DRUGS, OR POISONS."

9. YOU DEFINITELY DON'T NEED THAT AFTER JUST A FEW DRINKS ON THE WEEKEND. (WE HOPE.)

10. BUT WHAT ABOUT COMMON ADVICE, SUCH AS HAVING A DETOX DRINK?

11. LEADING EXPERTS ON ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE REMAIN SKEPTICAL OF SUCH ADVICE...

12. …BECAUSE YOUR LUNGS, KIDNEYS, AND LIVER NATURALLY DETOX YOUR BODY 24/7.

13. IF MOST DETOX ADVICE ISN'T WORTH A DIME, WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE TOXINS?

14. THE BEST WAY IS TO KEEP TOXINS OUT OF YOUR BODY IN THE FIRST PLACE.

15. THE FOLLOWING SLIDES WILL REVEAL WHAT THE RESEARCH ON DETOX HAS TO SAY.

16. WE'LL ALSO TELL YOU HOW TO TRULY KEEP YOUR BODY AWAY FROM TOXINS.

17. LET'S GET STARTED! (OR READ THE FULL BLOG POST HERE.)

18. 1. HOW CAN YOU KEEP TOXINS AWAY FROM YOUR SKIN?

19. ACCORDING TO THE HARVARD SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH, CONVENTIONAL COSMETICS CONTAIN MANY TOXIC SUBSTANCES.

20. SO WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?

21. THERE'S A SIMPLE SOLUTION: JUST STOP USING CONVENTIONAL COSMETICS.

22. RESEARCHERS AT BERKELEY EXAMINED WHAT HAPPENED WHEN PEOPLE DID EXACTLY THAT.

23. THEY FOUND THAT THE LEVEL TOXINS IN PEOPLE'S SKIN DROPPED FAST - VERY FAST.

24. IN JUST 3 DAYS WITHOUT COSMETICS, SOME TOXINS IN YOUR BODY DECREASE BY 45%.

26. 2. SHOULD YOU TRY A STORE-BOUGHT DETOX FACE MASK?

27. MANY COMMERCIAL FACE MASKS INCLUDE CHEMICALS LIKE GLYCOLIC ACID…

28. ...WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE SKIN IRRITATION.

29. ESPECIALLY STAY AWAY FROM CONVENTIONAL OVERNIGHT DETOX FACE MASKS. WHY?

30. YOUR SKIN REGENERATES ITSELF WHILE YOU SLEEP. THAT'S WHEN IT'S MOST VULNERABLE.

31. MANY DETOX MASKS ARE THICK ENOUGH TO PREVENT YOUR SKIN FROM BREATHING, SO IT'S BEST NOT TO USE THEM AT NIGHT.

32. 3. WHAT ABOUT CONVENTIONAL HOUSEHOLD CLEANING PRODUCTS?

33. A BERKELEY STUDY FOUND THAT CLEANING PRODUCTS RELEASE TOXIC SUBSTANCES.

34. THEY FOUND THAT THESE NORMAL PRODUCTS PUT YOUR HEALTH AT RISK...

35. ...BY RELEASING TOXIC SUBSTANCES THAT EXCEED REGULATORY GUIDELINES.

36. MANY OF THESE CHEMICALS ENTER YOUR BODY THROUGH YOUR SKIN.

37. CAN'T YOU JUST PROTECT YOURSELF BY WEARING RUBBER GLOVES?

38. NOT QUITE. THESE PRODUCTS ALSO GIVE OFF CHEMICAL FUMES THAT YOUR LUNGS ABSORB.

40. 4. CAN YOU FLUSH OUT TOXINS BY DRINKING LOTS (AND LOTS) OF WATER?

41. YOUR KIDNEYS ARE NATURALLY REMOVING TOXINS FROM YOUR BODY ALL THE TIME.

42. AND WATER IS INDEED CRUCIAL FOR THEM TO DO THEIR JOB.

43. HOWEVER, DRINKING UNNECESSARILY LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER CAN DO SERIOUS HARM.

44. IT CAN CAUSE SEIZURES, COMA, RESPIRATORY ARREST, AND EVEN DEATH.

45. SO DON'T CHUG WATER ALL DAY JUST BECAUSE OF SOME DETOX CLAIM.

46. THE BEST WAY TO KNOW HOW MUCH TO DRINK IS SIMPLY TO LISTEN TO YOUR THIRST.

47. READ THIS POST TO LEARN MORE ABOUT DAILY RECOMMENDED WATER CONSUMPTION.

48. 5. SHOULD YOU GO ON A DETOX DIET?

49. ACCORDING TO HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL, MOST DETOX DIETS ARE INEFFECTIVE.

50. BUT NOT "INEFFECTIVE" IN AN INNOCUOUS WAY.
