WHAT IS DETOXIFICATION?
Detoxification is the process of either clearing toxins from the body or neutralizing or transforming them. Functionally, poor digestion, colon sluggishness and dysfunction, reduced liver function, and poor elimination through the kidneys, respiratory tract, and skin all increase toxicity. A detoxification is a process which occurs naturally in our bodies – but due to the number of toxins and chemicals in our food, water, air and through processing/metabolism, these toxins build up over time. Detoxification involves dietary and lifestyle changes that reduce the intake of toxins while improving elimination.
WHAT ARE TOXINS?
Toxins can be either external (environmental such as alcohol, pesticides, tobacco, heavy metal, medication, oral contraceptives) or internal (the body through its normal metabolism forms by-products which are toxic if not neutralized or excreted)
BENEFITS TO DETOXIFICATION
- Helps prevent disease, especially when someone has prolonged exposure to chemicals or hormones (such as oral contraceptives)
- Improves symptoms of weight gain, low energy, joint pain, headache, pain, PMS, unhealthy skin, anxiety and irritability, frequent colds, heartburn, constipation and gas
- Treats diseases such as autoimmune disease, multiple chemical sensitivity, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, digestive disorders, heart disease, arthritis, ADD and other chronic degenerative diseases.
