We are exposed to toxins most of the time and our bodies get overloaded by toxins easily. Our detox organs -- the liver, kidneys, lungs, gut, and skin -- which we rely on for maintaining our health, goes out of balance. When this happens, we often experience significant symptoms that occur from the body trying to correct itself. Here we list safe and effective ways to boost the liver's ability to flush out toxins and help in the detoxification of the body.

Fasting: Fasting at regular intervals helps the liver to filter out the harmful toxins and allows time for your organs to rest. One popular way to jumpstart your body’s detoxification process is to practice intermittent fasting. Credit: DH Pool Photo

Avoid packaged juices: Try to avoid drinking packaged juices at regular intervals as they contain a high number of added sugars along with preservatives which are very harmful to the liver and overall health. Instead of packed drinks, it is suggested to go for fresh fruit juices, which are loaded with essential fibres that aid digestion. Credit: Getty Images

Lowering ghee intake: Consumption of pure ghee and refined oil contribute to deterioration of health and disturbs the body’s balance. Controlling the intake will help the body detoxify and boost its immune system. Credit: Getty Images
