The Effects of Toxins and Wastes on our Health

Each year people are exposed to thousands of toxic chemicals and pollutants from our air, food, water and soil. We all carry within our bodies a 'chemical cocktail' made up of industrial chemicals, pesticides, food additives, heavy metals and the residues of conventional pharmaceuticals. The accumulation of these toxins in our bodies may adversely affect the proper functioning of our different organ systems and overall health.

When people consume foods laden with preservatives and pesticides, they lodge in the body and can manifest themselves with a variety of symptoms, including decreased immune function, nerve cell toxicity, hormonal dysfunction and psychological disturbances. Some 2,800 additives are intentionally added to what we eat. The average North american consumes about 14 pounds of additives per year. As many as 10,000 or more additives or toxins find their way into food indirectly as it is grown, processed, packaged, and stored. These chemicals include hormones and antibiotics fed to animals and pesticides used on plants and crops.

One of the body's natural means of staying healthy is its ability to detoxify itself. Many of the harmful substances we absorb, inhale or create are rendered harmless and expelled from the body. The organs of detoxification and the bowels, liver, kidneys, lungs and skin. Avoiding harmful substances and cleansing your organs is vital in maintaining good health. Sufficient fluid intake (filtered water) supports the elimination functions of the kidneys, bowels and the skin.

A poorly functioning digestive tract can turn even the best of foods into metabolic poisons in the form of acids, gases, alcohol and carcinogens. Auto-intoxication is the process in which the body poisons itself with toxins that cannot be processed by the body's overloaded, undernourished or genetically compromised elimination systems. If the organs of elimination are not functioning efficiently, waste matter may not be properly eliminated and the toxic residue may be reabsorbed into the bloodstream. This can cause poor health symptoms and effects.

It is virtually impossible to escape the absorption of toxic substances. Humans eat at the top of the food chain, which means eating other animals, birds and fish as opposed to eating plants and algae exclusively. Like humans, plants and animals store toxins in their fatty parts. Toxins move up the food chain from plants, bug, and algae to small fish or mammals, which is then eaten by a larger fish or mammal, which is then consumed by a human. Toxins may also be passes on to newborns thorough mother's milk. At each level of the food chain, the toxins can become more concentrated and can accumulate in the human system faster that can be efficiently naturally eliminated, especially when an individual is suffering from poor digestion and elimination.

It's apparent that, in our current environment, our bodies need assistance with their internal detoxification duties. The fastest and surest way to detoxify your system is by improving the quality of your digestion and elimination.
