Why You Need to Detox Every Year

Are you aware that you put toxins into your body daily? You do! Actually living without putting toxins into the body is next to impossible in this day and age. Luckily the body has a built-in mechanism to handle toxic overload. Crying, urination, moving the bowels and sweating are all natural ways that the body uses to remove toxins. However, there are just too many toxins and the liver and the kidneys cannot cope with the levels of toxins. The body needs help to sweep toxins out of the body. The liver itself, being a natural organ for detoxifying the body, actually needs to be detoxed in order to function properly.  If these toxins are left to accumulate they will lead to health problems such as headaches, sluggishness and chronic disease.

Here are 5 reasons why you must detoxify regularly.

1. The food we eat is loaded with chemicals from the farms (weed killers, antibiotics, growth hormones and insecticides) and chemicals from food factories (such as emulsifiers, acidifiers, synthetic colors, taste enhancers, artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, etc.). Acid-producing foods and beverages are inherently toxic, keeping the liver and the kidneys busy.
2. The air we breathe is polluted by many different industrial fumes, cleaning chemicals, insecticides, herbicides, and fuel fumes. We breathe in these toxins every second of the day and the body cannot cope.
3. Our water is polluted by the chemicals sprayed on the farms, home cleaning chemicals, laundry detergents, fabric softeners, industrial chemicals, oil spills, chlorine and fluoride. When we drink that water or bath in it or eat fish, we absorb the chemicals into the body and end up having accumulated toxins in our bodies.
4. Personal care products contain many harmful chemicals. After we shampoo, condition, bath, shave, apply lotions, cleanse the face, tone the face and apply moisturizer, and apply make up, we have layered dozens of chemicals into the body. Again they accumulate in the body because the natural excretory system cannot cope with the level of toxins.
5. On a daily basis we absorb radiation emitted by electrical power lines, television, the microwave oven, computers, tablets and mobile phones. Because we do not feel the effects immediately we don’t think about it, but radiation is powerful energy that affects the integrity of our body cells causing cancers and other diseases.
6. The digestive process, stress hormones, emotional disturbances, and negative thoughts and feelings all create free radicals which affect our health negatively. Unless the free radicals are neutralized by antioxidants, the body suffers from oxidative stress and illness is the result.

With all these toxins continuously accumulating in the body there is need for regular conscious detoxification to remove the unwanted toxins from the body.
