Detoxification System

A toxin is any substance that causes harm in the body. Never before in human history have we been exposed to as many toxins as we are now. If your body’s ability to process these toxins—detoxification—is compromised, the dominoes will fall on your core functional systems and your health will suffer, with the quiet stirrings of chronic illness taking hold. Fortunately, there are everyday things you can do to cleanse the body of toxins, strengthen the detoxification system, and prevent toxic overload. The body has an amazing capacity to process and dispose of toxins. However, like any waste disposal system, it has limitations; chronic illness is the consequence when the body’s capacity to process toxins is hindered. Impaired detoxification impacts us on a cellular level. Toxic build up will slow you down, zap your zest for life, and limit basic metabolic functions.
