How Often Should You Detox Your Body?

In the current day and age, our bodies are exposed to a heightened number of environmental toxins. Along with lifestyle habits, including smoking, drinking, and poor nutrition, you may often feel the effects of toxins on your body. Toxins can have a notable impact on the body, inhibiting you from reaching your optimal state of health. 

To counteract the buildup of toxins in the body, regularly completing a detox can have far-reaching benefits, but many people wonder how often to detox for the best results. Here, we’ll answer this question and delve a little deeper into the benefits of detoxing the body. 

When To Detox the Body

There are multiple ways to detox the body, and the different types of detoxification may be used at different frequencies. For example, detoxing the body by cutting out alcohol, cigarettes, caffeine, and refined foods is a practice that you can benefit from regularly. Many people opt for this type of detox once per month or even once per week (or more!) for greater health and wellbeing. 

A more potent detox would involve high water volumes and a diet of nutrient-rich, whole foods to recharge the body with high-quality fuel. Using a detox kit will help you get the maximum benefit from this type of detox, as the kit contains proven formulas to most effectively support the body in each stage of the detox. We recommend the 7-day Core Restore Kit at our center for powerful, full-body detoxification. While this week-long detox may not be completed as frequently as a basic detox, patients may use it periodically (every few months) or whenever they feel it’s needed. 

Indicators That It’s Time To Detox

Your body gives you clues that it’s time for a detox. By listening to these clues, you can prevent the accumulation of toxins in your body to both looks and feel better. 

Signs that you could benefit from a detox include:

  • Gastrointestinal problems, like bloating and constipation
  • Fatigue, even with a regular sleep schedule
  • Trouble concentrating and irritability
  • Problems with weight loss
  • Intense food cravings
  • Skin problems, such as acne, rosacea, and dryness
  • Headaches
  • Bad breath
