Sweat It Out! Sweat is one way the body cleanses itself. Impurities like alcohol and nicotine along with excess sodium can be eliminated through perspiration. You can sweat some other harmful heavy metals that can cause serious health problems if allowed to accumulate in the body. Exercise, warm baths or piles of blankets will help you to sweat.

Exercise Duration You need to perform at lease 30 minutes of moderate intensity activities 5 to 6 days a week.

Exercise intensity is determined by your fitness level. Light intensity activities are slow walking, easy cycling, gardening and most household activities which raise the heart rate 50 to 60% of your maximum heart rate. Moderate activities are fast walking, jogging, past paced cycling, competitive swimming and aerobic dancing which raise the heart rate 60% to 70% of your maximum heart rate. High intensity activities are weight lifting, sprinting and mountain climbing which raise the heart rate to 70% to 80% of your maximum heart rate. StretchingDo you own a cat?
