First Step – Eliminate Xenoestrogens
The technological progress and the process of industrialization have brought us many positive things, but they have also resulted in some negative effects.
For instance, many dangerous chemicals and toxins found in the environment penetrate our body on a daily basis. One of these chemicals is known as xenoestrogen.
This chemical compound has the ability to imitate estrogen in the human body. People are exposed to this compound every day so it is no surprise why a huge number of people are dealing with estrogen dominance.
The following is a list of some of the most common contaminants that we should eliminate from our lives:
-Plastic bottles
-Tap water
-Non-organic dairy products
-Plastic Tupperware
-Toiletries, makeup and cosmetics
-Birth control pill
-BPA cans
-Soy protein isolate
-Dryer sheets.
Second Step – Make Sure that There is Effective Removal
There is no doubt that the idea of excess estrogen removal is good, but what happens in case you have chronic constipation? The estrogen can’t leave the body. In cases like this, the excess estrogen will go the bloodstream and go all over the body making lots of problems.
This is the reason why you must pay special attention to this step before starting a liver and estrogen detox based on supplements.
You must be sure that you have proper bowel movements. In case you don’t, use some of these proven tips:
-Half of your meals should contain veggies
-Consume three liters of water a day
-Consume probiotic foods like miso, kimchi, yogurt, tempeh and sauerkraut.
-Put some fibre in your smoothies, parfait or oatmeal
-Use triphala or magnesium citrate as supplements that support proper bowel movement.
If you want to encourage removal via all bodily pathways, you must follow these tips too:
-Practice massaging in order to activate the lymph
-Breathe deeply to aid the lungs
-Start sweating with the help of physical activity or just visit a sauna in order to speed -up the detoxification through your skin
-Try dry skin brushing to eliminate dead skin cells (exfoliation).
