"When we get an unhealthy buildup
of toxins in our body, it’s not pretty. These
excess toxins will cause physical and mental health
issues like chronic
fatigue, headaches, insomnia and diseases. Many
of these toxins come from things you use or consume
everyday like
food, water, beauty and personal care products
and the environment. If you’re wondering
why it’s so
important to cleanse and detox your body, read
on.
Toxins affect the body's natural ability
to burn fat, leading to weight gain. Diabetes, heart disease,
and high blood pressure are directly linked to weight issues.
Detoxing rids the body of toxins stored in fat cells and
increases metabolism.
Long-term exposure to toxins (environmental
pollutants, cancer-causing chemicals, preservatives, pesticides,
heavy metals, and industrial waste) affects our metabolism,
behavior, immune system, and leads to disease. They are
stored in tissues and cells throughout the body, including
the brain, often for years
Simply put, our bodies don't function very
well when they're loaded with toxins. We may have joint
pain, headaches, digestive disorders, sleep problems, and
lack of energy. Depression may be eased and memory may
be improved as a result of detoxification!
In the natural
health movement, the concept of detox refers
to the process your body goes through when it expels toxins.
Scientists estimate that you carry at least
700 toxins in your body, most of which have not been well-studied.
There are 80,000 chemicals used in the U.S. — most
of which are untested and unregulated.
For some of
us, the toxins that our body creates are a big problem
Common Detox
Symptoms
When you do a detox cleanse, your body is
said to suddenly release built up toxins all at once, causing
a host of unpleasant symptoms referred to as “detox”.
These symptoms might include skin breakouts,
gas and bloating, body aches, brain fog, fatigue, low energy,
headaches, irritability, extreme cravings (for sweet, salty
or other unhealthy foods), constipation and diarrhea.
Alcohol is the most commonly
abused substance in the US, with one in every 12
adults battling an alcohol dependency or abuse
issue, according to the National Council on Alcoholism
and Drug Dependence (NCADD). Alcohol withdrawal
has a wide range of side effects, from mild hangover-type
symptoms to coma and death. The more and longer
an individual engages in patterns of heavy drinking,
the more likely the brain is to become seriously
dependent on alcohol and the more grave withdrawal
symptoms may be during the detox process. Source |
The body must go through an elimination process
to achieve good health. You wake up feeling tired, not
so vibrant, alive, joyful and full of energy symptom of
being toxic There will be ups and downs. Symptoms, if they
appear, like fatigue, brain fog, achiness, digestive issues,
allergies, headaches are usually mild, but in some cases
can be severe. Understand, the symptoms you experience
are indicative of the cleansing, purifying process that
is underway. Go as slowly as your body needs to so that
your elimination is gradual and comfortable. Also, keep
in mind that this is not an endurance contest. If symptoms
become too severe, stop the detox and regroup. You can
always restart the detox again at a later date.

waves of harmful toxins from within and without, and it
still keeps on ticking. The body is not invincible, Sometimes
we give our bodies some help!

cells can release a significant amount of toxins present
within the actual cells. The stronger those toxins
, the stronger the cleansing reaction. Any detox
that causes the organs of the body (particularly
the liver, which is a storehouse of drug and
poison residues) to purge
their stored poisons and toxins, can
trigger a cleansing reaction, as can the use of a
herbal blood cleanser.
