Toxicity

Toxicity

Common indications include:
• frequent headaches • fatigue • weakness • muscle or joint aches and pains • sensitivities to chemicals, foods, drugs, especially to odors • poor concentration • poor memory • irritability • insomnia, anxiety, depression • mood swings • allergies • abnormal body odor • chronic respiratory or sinus problems • itching • bad breath • coated tongue • poor digestion • chronic constipation • brittle nails and hair • acne • weight gain • immune weakness

Many of the toxins that we ingest or make are stored in the fatty tissues. Obesity is almost always associated with toxicity. When we lose weight, we reduce our fat and thereby our toxic load. However, during weight loss we release more toxins, and thus need protection through greater intake of water, fiber, and the antioxidant nutrients, such as vitamins C, E, and beta-carotene, selenium, and zinc. With exercise we can also turn fat into muscle (not literally) and help further detoxification.
Being toxic may also play a role in the following diseases and conditions:
• Arthritis, gout • Parkinson’s diseases • Alzheimer’s diseases • Autoimmune diseases • PMS • Tension headaches, migraine headaches • Kidney stones • Gallstones • Irritable bowel syndrome • Cirrhosis • Chronic fatigue syndrome • Fibromyalgia • Skin disorders such as psoriasis, eczema, acne • Allergies • Chronic infections • Obesity • Peptic ulcers • Parasites, worms • Asthma • Colitis • Drug addiction

Importance Of Detoxification
Detoxification is essential for good health. We detoxify and cleanse our body for many reasons, mainly to improve health, vitality, and rejuvenation. Detoxification can be helpful for weight loss. Detoxifying gives our overloaded digestive and eliminative organs a chance to rest and clear out accumulated toxins. Most often our energy is increased and more steady. Detoxifying helps to clear addictions, improve symptoms, treat disease and prevent chronic disease. By detoxification of the body, we can optimize the well being of our healthy cells including our immune system.
Benefits of detoxification include: • improved health • better work of organs • weight loss • clean skin • improved flexibility • slowed aging • increased energy • better breath • reduced allergies • potentially fewer aches and pains • stronger immune system • healthier skin and hair • improved concentration and memory
