How to Detox for Blepharitis

Blepharitis is an inflammation of the eyelid. According to the Mayo Clinic many conditions, including bacterial infection, allergies and rosacea, can cause this disorder. With blepharitis the oil glands near the eyelashes malfunction. As a result the lids are itchy, irritated and uncomfortable. There are several ways to detoxify the body, but most experts suggest doing a little detoxifying every day to keep you health in good shape.

Instructions

1. Drink lots of water each day. According to the American Dietetic Association, a person needs at least 8 to 10 cups of water every day. The water helps to flush out toxins, poisons and harmful substances that may cause the eyelid inflammation. Drinking water also helps to flush out all areas of the body.

2. Eat fruits or vegetables each day. According to the Mayo Clinic a person needs to eat at least 20 to 35 grams of fiber each day. Fiber helps the body to eliminate fecal matter by adding bulk to the stools. Cleaning out the colon is one way to cleanse out the entire body. If the wastes are not removed from the colon, the body continues to hold these toxic substances that contribute to the blepharititis. Fruits and vegetable also contain nutrients that help fight bacteria and allergic reactions.

3. Exercise regularly. Do at least 20 minutes of aerobic exercise three times a week. Exercise burns fat and this is where most toxins are stored. The Mayo Clinic also reports that exercise stimulates intestinal activity that leads to more frequent bowel movements that clean out the colon. Because blepharitis is a chronic condition it is important to keep the amount of toxins and wastes in the body at a manageable level.
