DETOXIFICATION

 

DETOXIFICATION

Introduction

Detoxification or detoxication (detox for short) is the physiological or medicinal removal of toxic substances from a living organism, including the human body, which is mainly carried out by the liver.

It typically implies following a specific diet or using special products that claim to rid your body of toxins, thereby improving health and promoting weight loss.

Fortunately, your body is well-equipped to eliminate toxins and doesn’t require special diets or expensive supplements to do so.

Detox diets are said to eliminate toxins, in turn improving health and promoting weight loss.

But these diets while seductive aren’t needed as the body has its own, highly efficient detoxification system.

So, we can enhance our body’s natural detoxification system and improve our overall health by staying hydrated, consuming less salt, getting active, and following an antioxidant-rich diet.

How the detoxification work?

Basically, detoxification means cleansing the blood this is done by removing impurities from the blood in the liver, where toxins are processed for elimination the body also eliminates toxins through the kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymphatic system, and skin. However, when these systems are compromised, impurities aren't properly filtered and the body is adversely affected.

A detox program can help the body's natural cleansing process by:

Resting the organs through fasting.

Stimulating the liver to drive toxins from the body.

Promoting elimination through the intestines, kidneys, and skin.

Improving circulation of the blood.

Refueling the body with healthy nutrients.

"Detoxification works because it addresses the needs of individual cells, the smallest units of human life."

However, cautions against detoxing for nursing mothers, children, and patients with chronic degenerative diseases, cancer or tuberculosis.

How do we start Detoxification?

First, lighten up your toxin load. Eliminate alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, refined sugars, and saturated fats, all of which act as toxins in the body and are obstacles to your healing process. Also, minimize use of chemical-based household cleaners and personal health care products (cleansers, shampoos, deodorants, and toothpastes), and substitute natural alternatives.

Another hindrance to good health is stress, which triggers your body to release stress hormones into your system.
