Every day, we are exposed to hundreds of chemical, environmental and nutritional toxins, which invade our bodies and impact our health. Most of them are completely invisible!
Each person has a different capacity for withstanding toxins before the body becomes overburdened. The liver is our main organ of detoxification. When it becomes sluggish or compromised, toxins spill into the bloodstream, causing a wide range of problems, such as hormonal imbalance, sleep disorders, weight gain, fatigue, depression, anxiety, allergies, skin reactions, accelerated aging, and degenerative diseases.
Certain nutrients are needed for liver detoxification, and the gastrointestinal tract must be in good working order to absorb them. Similarly, healthy adrenal glands are needed to help the immune system fight off toxins.
Detoxing doesn’t have to be difficult. In fact, the best detox methods are gentle. Reduce your exposure to toxins whenever possible. As Dr. Andrew Weil said, “The best way to detoxify is to stop putting toxic things into the body.” Eat real, organic food. Improve the functioning of your body systems. Exercise to encourage the release of toxins. Drink plenty of pure water on a daily basis to help flush the body of toxins. One solution to pollution is dilution!
HOW TOXIC ARE YOU?
Do you have chronic headaches or migraines?
Do you suffer from allergies or skin issues?
Do you experience chronic aches and pains?
Do you have low energy and/or fatigue?
Do you have anxiety, depression, foggy brain or memory lapses?
Do you have digestive issues (gas, bloating, constipation, heartburn, acid reflux, etc.)?
Do you have sleep problems (difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep)?
Do have weight issues and/or food cravings (especially sweet or salty foods)?
Do you have hormone imbalances (PMS, menstrual cramps, hot flashes, etc.)?
Do you have negative reactions to strong perfume?
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, your body may need a detox.
We are facing an unprecedented assault on our health and on the environment with the generation of billions of tons of chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides and petrochemical derivatives. This impacts our food and water supplies and ultimately impacts our health by damaging the neurons in our brains, generating hormone disruptors, and creating free radicals. Neurotoxicity is now a leading cause of depression, anxiety, fatigue, and weight gain.
Unhealthy lifestyle choices can also create toxic metabolic by-products, which is why poor quality food can cause a slew of ailments and diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity and depression.
Many health issues respond well to detoxification programs. Why detoxify? To improve all body systems, especially brain function, liver health, and digestion. To feel better! To maintain an optimal sense of well-being!
