Toxin's the truth and why you should do a whole body Detox.

I hear the word toxins being thrown around quite a lot today. I want to dedicate an entire post to explaining in depth what exactly toxins are and how they are detrimental to your health. Throughout our life time we all accumulate a toxic burden to a certain degree depending on lifestyle and dietary habits. I want you to fully understand why it is so beneficial to do a whole body cleanse, give your body the chance to eliminate toxicity and experience enhanced wellness.

What are toxins?
“A toxin is a chemical or poison that is known to have harmful effects on the body. Toxins can come from food or water, from chemicals used to grow or prepare food, and even from the air that we breathe. Our bodies process those tox¬ins through organs like the liver and kidneys and elimnate them in the form of sweat, urine, and feces.

So there are 4 different sources of external toxins: food, chemicals, air, and water. There are also behavioral toxins. Lets break these down so you can understand examples of each source and get a better sense of just how toxic you may be…

Food: Toxiity in our food supply comes from packaged food, food additives, heavy metals, food dyes, chemical flavorings (MSG and aspartame), GMO (genetically modified organisms) foods, and highly processed foods. Additionally, a high intake of white flour and sugar creates a breeding ground for bad bacteria, throws off balance in the body and creates a highly acidic environment this can all be summed up in one term: a toxic environment. Excess consumption of alcohol and caffeine is also toxic to the body as the liver and other eliminative organs must work overtime to process these substances if your organs are not working optimally (most people’s are not) the to¬ins will build up over time.

Chemicals: Chemicals that are considered toxic are typically found in small amounts, but are lurking where you least expect them to be. Pesticide residue is unfortunately found on just about all of the conventional produce that is freshly picked and unwashed, sold in grocery stores around the country. Mercury is incredibly common in the fish supply. Chemicals like Bisphenol A is found in soft plastics. Also, prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicine and even recreational drugs all contain chemical toxins that accumulate in the body over time.

Air: Pollution in the air that we breathe comes from hazardous substances in the atmosphere from a num¬ber of sources such as car emissions, tobacco smoke (second hand smoke counts too), acid rain, mold, power plants, manufacturing buildings, paint fumes, aerosol sprays, and wild fires. The average adult consumes 3,000 gallons of polluted air per day!

Water: Pollution in our water sources comes from chemical, biological and physical matter that is introduced into large bodies of water that affect those that consume the water and those that live in it. Sources of water pollution include waste treatment facilities, oil spills, household chemicals, animal waste, human sewage, mining, factories, refineries, pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. 14 billion pounds of garbage are dumped into the ocean every year and 1.2 trillion gallons of sewage, storm water and industrial waste are discharged into U.S. waters every year.

Behavioral: Excessive stress leads to major toxic build up internally. Negative emotions like worry, anxiety and fear contribute, as well.

What are some symptoms that You may be toxic?
• Headaches
• Fatigue
• Irritable Bowel Syn¬drome (IBS)
• Abdominal bloating
• Gas
• Heartburn, indigestion and reflux
• Bad breath and/or coated tongue
• Acne and/or skin rashes
• Frequent sinus infections

Why should I do a whole body cleanse to eliminate excess toxic buildup?
Taking the time to actively remove toxins from your body is important to preserve your health in both the short term and the long term. Our bodies are incredibly smart and efficient, however, because we are exposed to such a high number of toxins each and every day, it is extremely difficult for our internal systems to keep up with healthy elimination. When you go on a safe cleansing diet you are giving your body the chance to reset by ridding excess toxicity and reducing your risk of negative effects caused by this excess toxicity.

Doesn’t my body detoxify naturally?
Yes, your amazing body has a built in detoxification system made up of your eliminative organs: liver, skin, kidneys, lungs, and colon; your digestive, lymphatic and circulatory systems all play a key role in detoxifica¬tion as well. As I mentioned above, unfortunately these systems get bogged down by excessive toxic exposure and are unable to perform at their optimal levels. When this happens you start to experience negative symptoms which lead to sickness and disease this is what I want to encourage you to prevent by taking a few days to detoxify your body (the healthy and safe way.

How can I encourage natural detoxification?
In order to help your body operate properly you can take certain steps on a daily basis that benefit your natural detoxification process. These include:

• Exercise (toxins come out through your sweat)
• Adequate water intake (toxins are removed through your urine)
• Dry skin brushing and massage (activates lymph system and loosens toxins stored in your cells)

Bottom Line:
Toxicity is every where. We can’t avoid it. Even if and when you eat the cleanest diet possible of whole, organic foods you still come into contact with toxins from the food you eat to some degree, air, water, and chemicals. I want you to enjoy and experience health every single day. That means taking action to cleanse away unwanted internal toxins that are bogging you down; once you unload your toxic burden, you will feel lighter, more energetic, and healthier from the inside out.
