Drinking red wine it’s not only a way to have fun or relax after the hard day but also a chance to clean your body. There are many studies that prove how just one glass of red wine a day can improve your cholesterol level and even fight urinary tract infections.
Use activated charcoal

Activated charcoal is essentially burned wood, debris, or even coconut shells. The burned substance has no oxygen and becomes very absorbent. It can literally remove most of the toxins, heavy metals, and poisons from your body. It is advised to take a pill before a meal or alcohol consumption.
Drink plenty of water

Drinking a lot of water during the day will help your body in different ways and detox included. There is a great water-based drink that can help cleanse your body — simply add 2 tbsp of organic apple vinegar to one gallon of water and shake it. Drink daily in the morning.
Avoid refined sugars

Refined sugars and artificial sweeteners cause the body to block its natural metabolism and build up too much glucose in the blood. Thus creating a vicious cycle of weight gain, as well as a chance of getting diabetes and heart diseases. Swapping to organic brown sugar, maple syrup, and other healthy sweeteners will do the trick. You will notice that your body needs to get rid of sugar when your cravings for sweets begin to grow.
Green tea instead of morning coffee

Coffee contains cafestol, a diterpenoid molecule that can increase cholesterol levels. Avoid the build-up of the bad cholesterol and switch to drinking green tea or any herbal teas.
Go to the sauna or exercise

Sweating is a natural way of cleaning the body from toxins. The more you sweat, the cleaner you become. Go to a sauna and sweat it out. However, consult your health practitioner before going since high-temperature exposure isn’t recommended for some people with health issues.
Another way to sweat is, of course, exercising. Choose what suits you the most and go for it. Don’t forget to take a shower afterward to clean your skin from all the sweat!
Drink detox smoothies

Smoothie is a tasty and helpful tool for detox your body. Eating a lot of raw dietary fiber can help improve your digestion and, therefore, help cleanse your system naturally. Make smoothies with fruits and vegetables or probiotic foods such as kefir or yogurt. You can play around with the ingredients just as long as you make sure they stay raw (and of course, wash them before consumption.)
Ion-water detox
