Often wondered what the secret is to a healthy, stress-free life? Turns out, the key is to keep your body functioning naturally, optimally, so that you do not fill up with toxins.

According to an interesting blog entry on FitBottomedGirls.com, feeling good and healthy requires four elements.

Protein: The human body needs one gram of protein per pound. When the body doesn't have enough protein, it will feed on itself for survival. In addition to eating animal- or plant-based protein rich foods, you might want to try adding unlikely sources like quinoa and olives.ExerciseLiver and the lymphatic system: Sweat daily to get the toxins out with your workout of choice. If you are injured, try relaxing in a sauna to keep your lymph nodes working and limit your alcohol intake to keep your liver healthy.
