Toxicity can be
described as “death from a thousand cuts”. Toxins build up in our
bodies over time from chemicals, pollution, microbes, cosmetics,
medications etc, but most often we are exposed to toxins via our
digestive system from water, drink and food we consume.
Over time, the
exposure and build up overwhelm our body’s waste removal mechanisms,
leading to a slow and certain accumulation of metabolic debris, the
result of which is the arrival of chronic disease. But, overall,
accumulated toxins will make you feel sluggish, tired, irritable and
generally unwell.
To find out if your health is being affected by toxins, ask yourself
these questions:
-
Are you often
tired or lethargic?
-
Do you
regularly suffer from bloating, diarrhoea, constipation or other
digestive problems?
-
Do you get
recurrent headaches, or suffer from allergies, frequent
infections or sinus?
-
Are you
regularly suffering from muscle aches and pains?
-
Do poor short
term memory and concentration affect your ability to function at
work or study?
-
Do you suffer
from depression, anxiety and/or mood swings?
Staying Healthy
in a Toxic World
In our busy modern
world, toxins are commonly encountered. Environmental toxins include
things like heavy metals, pesticides, chemicals, food additives,
drugs and pollutants which are present in the air, water and food
that we eat. But toxins do not only come from the external
environment – they can also be generated internally by “unfriendly”
bacteria, yeasts and parasites in your digestive systems.
Your body is an
amazing machine that can eliminate most toxins through many
different pathways, however, your systems can be overburdened by
excess toxic build up. If you are not feeling 100%, a detoxification
program will help to reduce this toxic load from your body and put a
spring back into your step.
