Detox with a chemical-free pantry

A new year is, for many people, a time to develop new and healthier habits in life. One common resolution is to do a detox, especially after the indulgences of the festive season, and whole industries experience a boom time as we purchase pills and potions to assist us in the quest for good health.

But there is one effective way to detox that doesn’t need any drastic lifestyle changes or expensive products. Simply clean out your pantry of foods that are high in additives and your detox begins. This simple act offers not only a quick impact on improved health, but is also sustainable in the mid and long term and has many benefits beyond the detox.

Reducing chemicals in the diet supports the body’s own natural ability to detox, a process that is a daily task for our systems. If we reduce the extra stressors on the system by removing the additives we introduce to the body, then it makes sense that we support a natural detox every day of the year.
