Spring Detox: Wellness Wednesday Highlights Simple Ways to Cleanse the Body

Spring cleaning isn’t just for your home—it’s also a great time to reset your body. On this week’s Wellness Wednesday, sponsored by Clark’s Nutrition Natural Foods Market, Starkey Sowers shared easy ways to detox and support overall health.

For those new to detoxing, Sowers recommends starting with simple approaches like drinking more water, incorporating fiber-rich foods, and trying herbal teas. He explained that our bodies naturally cleanse themselves daily, with exercise and deep breathing playing a crucial role in eliminating toxins.

“Believe it or not, exercising and breathing are two of the most effective ways to detox,” Sowers said. “They help move the lymphatic system, which acts as the body’s garbage disposal.”

He also highlighted the benefits of fiber, which aids digestion and helps eliminate toxins through the liver and gallbladder. Leafy greens like spinach and arugula are particularly effective in detoxifying the liver, while certain juices, such as those from Suja, Evolution, and Pressed, can also help cleanse the system.

For those looking for a more targeted detox, Sowers introduced herbal detox teas made from ingredients like dandelion and burdock root. “Dandelion is one of the number one detoxifiers,” he noted. “It helps the liver process and eliminate toxins efficiently.”

Supplements such as Shape and Cleanse and Sental can also support digestion and balance gut bacteria. “If you’re feeling bloated or sluggish, these can help reset your system in about a week,” he added.

With simple dietary changes and natural detox options, spring is the perfect time to refresh your body and boost your overall well-being.
