7 Steps to Building a Clean High-Performance Machine

Controversial topic ahead!

It includes the “D” word – detox!!! BUT … it’s different than you think.

What if instead of talking about “detoxing” the body, we “detoxed” what we put in, on, and around our bodies?

This is also known as living a healthy lifestyle!

The truth is, your body already has an AMAZING built-in system to get rid of waste and toxins. (Including your liver, kidneys, skin, lungs, and large intestine.)

But unfortunately, our modern lifestyles and habits tend to make it harder for our organs to do their jobs.

This can leave you feeling bloated and tired … and it can also get in the way of your performance.

The good news is that you can help turn that around by cutting back on the overload your “detox” system has to deal with.

Bonus: This approach helps YOU reach your goals faster, too.

7 Steps to Building a Clean High-Performance Machine

  1. Limit alcohol. Too much alcohol can make it harder for your liver to do its normal jobs – one of which is helping your body get rid of toxins.
  2. Get enough sleep. During the day, waste builds up in your brain. Then, at night when you’re sleeping, it’s swept away. Not enough sleep = waste buildup.
  3. Drink enough water. Water performs a lot of functions in your body, including helping your body’s detox system remove waste products from your blood.
  4. Limit highly processed foods. Eating highly processed foods low in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients is linked to chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes. This can hurt your organs (like kidneys & liver) that help your body’s detox system.
  5. Eat an adequate amount of fiber. Helps to keep bowel movements regular and get rid of waste.
  6. Be active. Exercise and regular activity lowers inflammation in your body and helps boost your body’s ability to detox.
  7. Live closer to nature. Air pollution and excessive exposure to pollution tax your detoxing system constantly.

When you support your body with a healthy lifestyle, you don’t need a quick fix!
