   • Consider air filters and houseplants to improve indoor air quality and reduce exposure to pollutants like VOCs and mold 3.

2. Enhance Liver Function:

   • Incorporate cruciferous vegetables (e.g., broccoli, cauliflower, kale) which contain glucosinolates, boosting the detoxifying compound sulforaphane and glutathione levels 2.
   • Include supplements like whey protein and essential nutrients such as folate, zinc, selenium, and magnesium to support detox pathways 2.

3. Hydration and Kidney Function:

   • Stay well-hydrated to ensure kidneys function optimally. Drinking plenty of water helps flush toxins out of the system 4.

4. Support Bowel Movements:

   • Make sure to maintain regular bowel movements, ideally 1-2 times a day. This helps in the elimination of toxins stored in the gut 4 5.

5. Sweating:

   • Engage in regular exercise or use saunas to promote sweating, which helps eliminate toxins through the skin 4 6.

6. Use of Nutritional Support and Supplements:

   • Consider supplements like glutathione, N-acetylcysteine (NAc), and herbal remedies like milk thistle and curcumin for enhanced detoxification 5.
   • Incorporate antioxidant-rich foods and bioflavonoids found in colorful fruits and vegetables 3.

7. Dietary Choices:

   • Eat a nutrient-dense diet rich in various plants, fiber, and probiotic-rich foods to support gut health and detox processes 7 3.
   • Avoid heavily processed foods and opt for whole foods in their natural state 1.

These combined strategies can significantly aid in supporting the body's detoxification systems and reducing toxin load.
