Make the Change, Improve Yourself
Toxins come from various sources including the air, foods, drugs, alcohol and smoking, as well as metabolic by-products. Thus, lifestyle factors play a significant role in the accumulation of toxins. Our bodies are designed to eliminate such impurities, but today's overexposure to toxins has left our bodies with an uphill battle. Toxins that our bodies cannot eliminate can be stored in fat cells to protect our organs. Toxins can also affect various areas of our bodies. Minimize toxins and take control of your health.
Detoxification is the process in which the body eliminates or neutralizes toxic substances. The body utilizes several routes of detoxification including the skin, lungs, kidneys, liver and intestines. The liver aids in digestion and detoxification of food impurities and when functioning optimally, neutralizes toxins before allowing them into the bloodstream. A build-up of toxins may result in cellular damage and eventually chronic disease.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that almost half of American adults have at lease one chronic disease. Chronic disease including heart disease, stroke, diabetes and arthritis are among the most common, costly and preventable of all health problems in the United States.
