Steer clear of the foods that can cause damage to your digestive system. This list of trigger foods can be found on the "5R protocol." In addition, the supplement "Restore" is recommended to repair "tight junction" damage of the colon cells as well as helping to establish the microbiome consisting of probiotics. 5. Eliminate Toxic Kitchen, Beauty and Body Care Products Another way to eliminate toxins in your body is to avoid conventional body care products that are made with potentially- harmful chemicals including DEA, parabens, propylene glycol and sodium lauryl sulfate. A better alternative is to use natural products made with ingredients like essential oils, coconut oil, shea butter and castor oil. The Environmental Working Group evaluated over 72,000 products and ranked them in an easy- to-understand guide to make sure you have a resource to keep your family safe. Check out EWG's "Skin Deep Cosmetic Database" today for recommendations for which products to use and avoid. Another thing to consider is your use of plastic bottles, aluminum cans and containers. It's best to replace plastic and aluminum with glass and stainless steel because of the toxic effects of BPA. Another wise precaution is to switch from teflon pans to stainless steel, ceramic or cast iron, which can make a big difference in the amount of chemicals making their way into the food you prepare. 6. Exercise (Especially Interval Training) One of the best all-around activities you can do for your health is high intensity interval training (HIIT). If there is a silver bullet out there to help with a sluggish metabolism, weight gain and other issues, this just might be it! Exercise in general is great for balancing hormones because it reduces inflammation, can help you maintain a healthy weight, lowers stress, helps regulate your appetite, and aids in getting better sleep. Whether we're talking about endorphins from a "runner's high", testosterone, growth hormone or insulin, HIIT training can help your body regulate production and use of these hormones. Exercise can also enhance your immune system, allow your cells to take up more glucose (which lowers insulin), protect you from depression, and keep you more alert without the need for caffeine.
