Your last drug use is the most significant

To determine your chances of fooling the drug tests, it would be important to determine when you last used drugs and stop immediately if you don’t.

Most drug tests are done on urine samples. Research and experience show that beyond four days, it is often difficult to find significant traces in urine. On the other hand, traces can be found in hair, for example, for up to 100 days. You would be wise to ensure that you thoroughly clean your hair and scalp with the right shampoo.

If you need to be tested, the first thing you should do is stop using drugs immediately. You can then start drinking excessive amounts of water on a regular basis, several liters a day.

You can choose the best course of treatment for you immediately and start as soon as you receive your detox kit. Ideally, you should always have a kit on hand so that you can react as soon as your test is announced or anticipated.

Factors that influence the level of intoxication

The duration of the effect of drugs and alcohol on the body varies considerably. For example, the euphoria caused by cocaine lasts 15 to 30 minutes, but detectable traces may remain in the body longer. The effect of LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) lasts from 6 to 12 hours. The effects of alcohol can vary. For example, it takes an adult male up to 7 hours to metabolize alcohol until his body returns to a zero blood alcohol level. After consumption, alcohol can be detected in breath and blood for up to 24 hours, and in urine for up to 80 hours.

Testing methods vary depending on how long a substance remains in the body after its effects have worn off. Some drugs remain in the body for only a few days, while others last for months.

Some factors that determine how long a drug stays in the body/system are :

  • The amount of the toxin used
  • The frequency of use
  • Your level of hydration
  • Your general health
  • Your BMI, i.e. your % of body fat
  • Your physical activity
  • The medications you are taking

You can help yourself by reducing or eliminating toxins, hydrating excessively, exercising to get the most out of your body and avoiding fat during your treatment. Favour green vegetables and fruits.

REGULAR DETOXIFICATION: A GOOD HABIT TO ADOPT

With our current lifestyle, we are exposed to various sources of toxins every day. You don’t have to be a drug user to be intoxicated. It is enough to eat processed foods, foods full of pesticides, junk food and to be exposed daily to sources of lead, mercury and other chemical elements that poison us little by little.

HAVE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

It’s easy to say that we should change our habits. How often do we try to adopt a new lifestyle only to forget our good resolutions at the slightest temptation? And what about our resolutions to work out or drink a lot of water. We’re all human and staying the course can be a real struggle.

Having a healthy lifestyle does not necessarily mean sacrificing. You have to find the right balance and enjoy it so much that it becomes as natural as breathing. A good habit is developed gradually. Small steps, small gestures, nothing is left to chance. Let’s start by drinking more water every day. It is said that a bad or good habit takes 21 days to become natural. Give it a try. In the meantime, here’s how to figure out how much water to drink each day.

The recipe for establishing your daily drinking amount:

-> Your weight in pounds divided by two. This will give you the number of ounces you need to drink in a day! To know the amount in ml, do the result x 30! Example: Someone who weighs 160 pounds (160 divided by 2=80 ounces of water per day). In milliliters, that's 2400 ml or 2.4 liters.

BEYOND HEALTHY HABITS: A CURE FOR EACH SEASON

Even the most disciplined people with healthy habits can’t escape it; a good cure is beneficial in every way. Cures cleanse the body and help us release accumulated toxins in the liver and other filtering organs. What about the intestines that tend to hold our toxins sometimes for days.

At this level, here is another tip to help you validate the duration of your intestinal transit.

Swallow a teaspoon of white sesame seeds. Note the time.

Then watch your stool to note when you see your sesame seeds. Depending on the length of time, tell yourself that if your bowel movements last more than 18 hours or less than 6 hours, there is a red flag.
