Detoxification is an essential bodily function carried out through emunctories, which are organs or ducts that drain and remove waste. Our bodies naturally detoxify through breath, sweat, mucous, stool, and urine.

Ways to aid daily detox include:

• Exercising and sweating
• Adopting a whole-foods, organic diet
• Avoiding toxic personal and home-care products

Understanding the body as a bucket, which fills with various elements, highlights the importance of proper elimination through routes like skin (sweat), liver/gut (bowel movements), kidneys (urination), lungs (breathing), and emotions.

How to Build A Healthy Plate

1. Use a normal sized plate (10.5-11 inches in diameter)
2. Fill half with non-starchy veggies like leafy greens, broccoli, and peppers
3. Fill one fourth with whole grains or starchy vegetables
4. Fill one fourth with low-processed protein sources like poultry, fish, or beans
5. Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or olive oil
6. Include a serving of whole fruit alongside the plate
7. Drink water with your meal

By following these guidelines, you can support the body's natural detoxification processes and maintain a healthy diet.
