What is this detox
Detoxification means cleansing the organism of toxic substances that are harmful to it.
Using detoxifying methods (detox cures) and tools that remove environmental toxins that pollute our bodies, in one way or another, is necessary for a healthy and long life. These substances that harm our bodies are the primary enemies of our tissues, organs, cells, and intracellular organelles.
"THE KIDNEYS, LIVER, LUNGS, SKIN, AND MANY OTHER ORGANS..."
When our detox systems become insufficient against the toxins produced by our environment and our own bodies, our toxin burden increases, and many health problems arise, such as fatigue, weakness, exhaustion, not feeling well, excessive sleepiness or insomnia, tension in the muscles and joints, pain and weakness, irritability, and a feeling of distress.
Besides the toxic byproducts created by our body's normal metabolic activities, the harmful waste produced by various mental and physical stresses and by the body's efforts to fight various infections are also removed from the body through the joint effort of many organs, such as the kidneys, liver, lungs, and skin.
Every year, people are exposed to the effects of thousands of chemical and physical toxic substances obtained from the soil, water, the air they breathe, and the food they eat.
These toxic substances manifest in the human body through a wide variety of different symptoms, such as a decrease or loss of physical resistance, hormonal imbalances, nervous system disorders or loss of resilience, physiological imbalances, and even irreversible diseases (cancer).
Despite being aware of it, we often consume more animal protein than the recommended 10% of our daily food intake, and in addition, heavy use of caffeine, alcohol, fats, carelessly used medications — especially antibiotics — and other unhealthy products introduced into the body from outside can leave us facing many difficult-to-manage problems later in life, such as cardiovascular problems, joint diseases known as arthritis, excess weight, and diabetes. It is known that these harmful factors, of which we have listed only a few, slow down — or even stop — cellular function in the organism.
IT CAUSES OUR INTESTINES TO BECOME UNABLE TO PERFORM THEIR NORMAL FUNCTION
The primary aim of detoxifying the body is to restore cellular health. The foods we have consumed over the years accumulate in our intestines. The toxic substances described above disrupt our intestinal flora, causing our intestines to become unable to perform their normal function.
It should also not be forgotten to add, to this chain of toxic substances obtained from the air we breathe and the food and drink we consume, the waste products of all petroleum-based fuels, household cleaning products, and dry-cleaning chemicals.
As our world becomes more polluted, our body filters out this pollution, and these toxins disrupt our physiological functions. Chemicals in the food we eat, harmful substances in the water we drink, and, in addition, the electronic and chemical toxins present in the indoor and outdoor spaces we inhabit are constantly filtered and accumulated in our bodies.
IT THREATENS BOTH OUR PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH
A well-known fact today is that this bio-accumulation (foreign substances built up in our body) seriously threatens both our physiological and psychological health.
Studies conducted on this subject over the years have shown that a healthy immune system, together with properly functioning elimination systems, makes a person more resilient — both neurologically and physiologically and psychologically — against these toxins coming from outside.
Accordingly, for a healthy and vigorous life, it is necessary to consciously help the body from outside and ensure the elimination of toxins from the organism.
In my next article, I will address the topic of "How is detoxification performed and who should undergo it?"
