How to detoxify the body in a single day?
We are exposed daily to pollutants that we inhale, ingest or touch: toxic substances of the air, Heavy metals, trans fats, remains of medicines and other chemical substances present in food and/or in their wrappers.
24 hours are not enough to change what we have been doing weeks, months, maybe years. But decisions are made in one day. A first step to detoxify the body and deflate the organism It would be to avoid the most harmful substances. This list can be of great help:
1. Heavy metals
Heavy metals such as cadmium, he mercury or the lead They are a group of toxic chemical elements for the human being. They can derive from mining or industrial activity and, once released, they can accumulate for hundreds of years on the ground, plants and animals ... they are not degradable, neither chemical nor biologically, accumulate in the food chain and it has been shown that they seriously affect health, especially systems Gastrointestinal, neurological, blood and renal.
Natural chelants
To do? Avoid contact with heavy metals and consume food and consume Quelante substances.
There are studies that indicate that the Maitake fungus It has a great capacity to absorb heavy metals: the mercury elimination rate In vitro is 56% and In vivo It is greater than that of another specially developed drug such as Quelante (DMPs).
As an expert laboratory in medicinal fungi, in Hifas da Terra we have carried out clinical studies based on previous evidence.
The combination of Excerpt from our Maitake and Polyporus strains (Hifas-Detox product) They have corroborated the Detoxifying capacity in lead and mercury In blood and hair analysis, both in healthy people and others with associated pathologies. See study.
2. Trans or hydrogenated fats
If you inject hydrogen into unsaturated fats such as soybean oil or corn you get solid fat that we also call trans or hydrogenated fats. These do not produce any beneficial effect on health and it has been shown that they raise bad cholesterol (LDL) and descend the good (HDL). Despite this, current legislation does not establish the obligation that this type of fat appears reflected in food labeling.
3. Bisphenol A and similar compounds
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical that used to be in plastic containers and in the interior lining of metal cans. Diverse Studies have shown that BPA can be transferred to food and drinks it contains. Although there is still evidence in humans that corroborate these preliminary results, if possible: avoid using plastic utensils (this includes bottled water consumption) and gives preference to other materials such as glass.
4. Added sugars
We talk about simple and added sugars (including sweeteners) that we can find in juices, sweets, sugary drinks, industrial pastries, etc. In the long run, this type of sugars have been associated with metabolic alterations and the appearance of chronic diseases and cancer.
5. Polyccyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
According to Aesan, the Policy aromatic hydrocarbons (HAPS) They are a group of more than 100 different chemical substances that are formed By burn organic matter such as coal, oil, gasoline and garbage, but they are also found in grilled foods. HAPs present in food can proceed from environmental pollution (industrial activities, heating, forest fires, etc.) and procedures that include smoking, drying or even food heating.
How to know if you are eliminating toxins?
In general, when the organism is detoxified, there can be a weight loss, greater diuresis and a better colon traffic. What is translated? The sensation of well -being derived from the Detox Plan translates into:
- adequate energy levels.
- greater serenity
- Skin luminosity
- Intestinal transit
- Better rest
What helps clean the intestines?
Through the gastrointestinal system we process nutrients and water, but we also eliminate undone substances. In this sense, it should be remembered that fiber helps this elimination be regular and the Intestinal Microbiota (Intestinal Flora) Stay in balance.
Why do you talk about prebiotics?
We could say that Prebiotics They are the food of the intestinal bacteria with which each individual grows and develops. As we have already explained in this article, the microbiota works as a fingerprint, it is unique and identifies us. It has also been shown that it works as a biomarker: its alterations reflect disorders and even associate with the development, progress and remission of some pathologies.
Actually, how long is it needed to detoxify the body?
Every process detox It should be considered as part of our day to day and, as almost every relevant change, it has immediate impact but is part of a process with even more visible long -term effects.
No one better than ourselves knows that when we do things well we are better.
Food and other substances that detoxify the body
In this section we will focus on those foods we recommend for containing substances that help take care of the organs responsible for eliminating the toxins of the organism.
- Natural diuretics: Ergone and ergosterol are natural diuretics, present, for example in Medicinal fungi such as Maitake and Polyporus. Diuretics help generate more urine to eliminate excess fluid and toxins.
- Natural antioxidants: Antioxidants protect our damage cells (oxidation, cell aging) generated by toxins and excess free radicals. Cruciferous vegetables, Wife, red fruits and mushrooms provide a large number of quality antioxidants.
- Omega-3 series fatty acids: It has been shown that they help lower triglycerides, which impacts directly on the liver and kidneys.
- Vitamin B6: Proper levels of vitamin B6 can help avoid excess oxalates that derive in kidney stones. In addition, the lack of vitamins B, B6 and C have been associated with greater toxicity and worse.
- Pectinas These soluble fibers can be found in apples, carrots, grapes, chestnuts, etc. and help regulate blood sugar levels. Excess sugar can damage renal health
ADVERSE EFFECTS: Can your head hurt when you are detoxifying the body?
You may find information on the adverse effects of restrictive diets or plans, but as we have seen, body detoxification has to do with good daily practices, correct food choice, practice exercise, rest properly and be aware of everything we do in our day to day avoiding excesses.
Guide to purify toxins in 7 days
And if excesses occur - we are human - we can have these four rules that will help us resume the good path more quickly.
- Keep the body well hydrated every day: this improves the appearance of our skin and the elimination of toxins from urine. If you need ideas to increase water consumption we propose Add lemon slices, ginger or turmeric. And, of course, Avoid alcohol and nicotine.
- Reduce salt consumption and reduce sugar consumption even more. The salt favors fluid retention. In 2010 Spain was the second EU country in salt consumption. Some more current studies indicate that consumption is 10 g per day, which is twice as recommended by WHO. If you have trouble eliminating salt from your meals, it limits the consumption of processed foods and remembers: an excess of salt is associated with hypertension.
- Choose fresh foods rich in antioxidants and fiber.
- Practice physical exercise. Sweat is a magnificent way to eliminate toxins through the skin
Summary pill

In addition: preservatives, dyes, antioxidants and other additives that are added to processed foods can be toxic to certain people. Likewise, precooked meals in plastic containers and microwave heated release plastic remains, which pass to food.
Our unhealthy habits also contribute to the accumulation of more toxins in the body, so adopting change towards detoxifying foods and practices can help you feel better very easily. Start with the diet: Check what you consume and choose those substances that can help you to balance your body.
