Scientists estimate that the average adult carries at least 700 toxins within their body, while A newborn’s body can contain over 200 toxins.
Most people don’t realize that they are CONTINUOUSLY being exposed to toxins—the constant exposure results in an ever-increasing body burden, or toxic load, of chemicals. One of the most common exposures is to toxic farm chemicals: pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Other sources of toxicants include materials used in new construction, carpet chemicals that can off-gas into the air, paint, household cleaners, mixed metals used in dental repairs, synthetic materials found in dental products, and even personal hygiene products applied to face, skin, and hair. Air pollutants are found in regional or work industrial areas, primary or second-hand smoke exposure, and auto exhaust. On a daily basis, your liver, kidneys, large intestine, lymphatic system, and sweat glands work to reduce the body burden, or buildup, of these environmental contaminants.
Detoxification refers to biological processes that happen all the time to eliminate waste and, most importantly, TOXINS!
The body removes toxic byproducts of cellular metabolism and normal body functions, along with environmental toxins that make their way into the body.
Although there are 5 organs of detoxification (the liver, the colon, kidneys, lungs, and skin), the liver typically gets the most attention when it comes to detoxification, and for a good reason.
The liver has the ability to transform waste products and toxins into water-soluble molecules that can leave the body through urine, bowel, breathing, or sweating.
To effectively do its detoxification job (along with the hundreds of other jobs it has to do daily), the liver requires a lot of nutrition in the form of vitamins, minerals, amino acids (from protein), and antioxidants.
How toxins negatively affect the body, toxins:
Disrupt hormones
Increase inflammation
Impair the immune system
Cause weight gain
Cause neurological conditions
Cause migraines/ headaches
Cause brain fog
Cause leaky gut
Cause acne/skin-related issues
Damage organs, cell membranes, and enzymes
Cause chronic disease/ illness
A solid foundation of nutrition from real food supports detoxification in the liver. This is one reason why the food you eat is critical for your health.
However, aside from nutrition, there are plenty of other ways to reduce your chemical exposures by making small changes and swaps in your life and lessening the toxic burden on the body.
