Spring has officially sprung. For many, it is a favorite season – full of beautiful colors and new life.
For others it can be a dreaded season of allergies, stuffy noses, and sneezing.
Thankfully there are ways you can build up your immune system to get ready for the challenges of spring and enjoy this truly beautiful season.
Let’s take a look at some spring detox tips
- 1. Move:
- Exercise outdoors as it is an option now that the cold weather is gone.
- Sweat gets rid of toxins from the body.
- Walk, run, bicycle or hike you can’t go wrong.
- If you suffer from allergies make sure you prepare accordingly.
- 2. Drink plenty of purified water:
- It is one of the easiest ways to take care of your health and flush out toxins. Please avoid bottled water and install a water filter. You will drink pure water and avoid waste at the same time.
- 3. Eliminate gluten, refined sugar, sodas and processed foods:
- Excess sugars, processed foods, and gluten are detrimental to health, and should be avoided permanently, not just spring.

- Try eating fresh veggies, smoothies or soups.
