Summer is perfect for a morning detox for our bodies. Everything seems easier on warm mornings. Not all cleanses need to be drastic or multi-step; many can start with small changes.

Here are some daily practices that, when incorporated into your morning routine, will help you start the day feeling more productive, positive, and powerful. Not to mention, you're doing your body a favor by giving it time to detoxify and reset for the next day.

For oral hygiene // We tend to ignore or forget the importance of oral care. It's more than just brushing your teeth and using whitening mouthwash. You have time to use a tongue scraper , so do it next time you brush. We also love oil pulling; read about its benefits here .

For a liver and gut cleanse // A surprisingly large amount (about 95%) of serotonin, a hormone that directly affects our mood, is produced in the gut. It's vital that you detox from time to time to keep happiness levels high. Some of our favorite gut and liver detoxes include drinking warm water with lemon or lime upon waking. There are many health benefits to drinking this mixture first thing in the morning: it energizes the body, promotes healthy digestion, and replenishes your body with potassium. You already know we're big fans of our detox capsules . Try taking two a day before bed for a week! You won't regret it; they help A LOT with bloating and intestinal problems.

To increase lymphatic flow and circulation // Enhancing lymphatic drainage and circulation through activities like quick stretching, yoga, or Pilates will take your day to another level. The three functions of lymphatic flow are: protecting the body from disease, maintaining body fluid levels, and allowing the absorption of fats from the digestive system while removing cellular waste. You can also stimulate lymphatic drainage (and treat cellulite and sagging skin) with these massages at home and using tools like these .

Remove toxins manually // Do a dry brushing . We love it and recommend doing it always! This dry massage stimulates the lymphatic system, and it's your lymphatic system that really helps eliminate toxins and bring good nutrients to all the cells in our body. Dry brushing also increases elasticity and tones problem areas, such as the buttocks and the back of the thighs. We recommend this brushing.
