What are toxins?

Toxins are poisonous substances taken into / produced by the body that can cause health problems or chronic disease if allowed to build up over time in body tissues.
We breathe in, consume & absorb toxic chemicals everyday. We are exposed to them unnoticed daily.

Examples from the environment: air pollution, contaminated water, herbicides/pesticides, food additives, medications, chemicals in fabrics & furnishings, cleaning supplies, beauty care.

Examples from internal sources from our body: Waste products produced by metabolic processes within the body when carbohydrates, proteins & fats are broken down, such as unbroken & partially broken down food.

The body’s detoxification systems (circulatory, digestive, lymphatic, respiratory, skin & urinary) can become overloaded & overwhelmed with the constant exposure to toxins. When the channels of elimination can not keep up with their functions efficiently, the excess toxins are stored in the fat cells & tissues. The accumulation of toxins in the body may eventually lead to more serious chronic health problems, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, autoimmune conditions, hormonal, reproductive, neurological & digestive issues.

Examples of toxic symptoms:
Headaches, chronic infections/colds, aching joints/muscles, mood swings & depression,
skin issues like eczema, skin rashes or cellulite, over/under weight, chronic low energy,
digestive issues like chronic constipation, diarrhea, halitosis or bloating,
sensitivity to smells or foods, allergies, congestion & breathing problems,
problems with mental clarity, concentration or memory.

Toxins remain stored in the body until removed.
