How to Detox the Body Using Water

Water is essential for the healthy functioning of our bodies. Few people consume the recommended consumption of 64 ounces of water daily that we need and toxins build up in our systems due to the lack of proper hydration. Learn to detox the body using water and you'll likely feel a big difference in the way you feel overall.

Instructions

• 1

  Prepare your body for a water detox by drinking fresh juice and soft foods for a few days prior. This will help break your body in gently and ease it into the shedding of chemicals through the water detox.

• 2

  Purchase distilled water to drink for the detox. Tap water or mineral water isn't the best choice for this purpose.

• 3

  Drink juice in combination with distilled water if a straight diet of water is too much for you. You may also want to use this method if this is the first time you're doing a water detox.

• 4

  Find that you may feel slightly dizzy when doing a water detox. It's best to stand up or sit down slowly.

• 5

  Recognize other side effects such as fever or headaches, which are caused by the elevation of the waste level in your blood. They should subside quickly as the water flushes your system cleaner.

• 6

  Plan for your water detox to last about 48 hours. A water detox of longer duration should be monitored by a health professional.
