Detox Your Life
Detoxification has been the biggest health topic for years. More and more women are feeling sick, have low energy, and are tired all the time. Toxins are everywhere and it is impossible to completely avoid it. Toxins are in the air you breathe, the water you drink, the beauty products you put on your body, and on the food you eat.
Exposure to toxins is inevitable, but there are ways for you to support your body’s natural detox processes. By educating and empowering yourself to eat a healthy diet and live a healthier lifestyle, you can help your body detox naturally and with ease.
Your natural detox system includes the liver, fat stores, kidneys, the skin, the lungs, the lymphatic system, and your intestines/bowel.
What happens when toxins build up?
Well, the easiest way for you to understand this, is to think about the last time you had a hangover. When you ingest an excessive amount of alcohol, it will start to build up and poison the body, leading to symptoms like nausea, headaches, and an upset stomach. Once the body is able to break down the toxins, the hangover begins to go away.
In other situations, toxins can build up from so many other areas of our life causing symptoms that are common for many women to experience. By reducing your exposure to toxins, you help take the stress off the body’s natural detox system.
