With the increase in toxins in the environment and in the food we eat, it is no wonder that most people find themselves at a level of toxicity that exceeds the point where the body’s own natural detoxification system can cope.

Chemicals and toxins can build up in your system and cause body weight problems. But when body fat starts to accumulate, that usually means toxins are

accumulating too.

The body retains fats as a way to protect the vital organs of the body from the toxins that we ingest (and create through stress). The accumulation of body fat, especially around the midsection, is a visible sign of toxic accumulation and a good indication that the liver is not working as efficiently as it should.

If toxins accumulate faster than they can be eliminated, in an attempt to protect your organs, your body will actually produce body fat for the specific purpose of storing toxins such as

as far as possible from vital organs. This fat is a particularly stubborn fat that is very difficult to lose unless you decrease the toxic load and do something to help your body detox.

So when we detox and cleanse the body of toxins, we give the body a chance to repair and strengthen itself, and when the toxins are gone, guess what happens to the

protective layer of grease … yes, that goes away too!

Everything that crosses your lips must be used by your body, or it must be neutralized and eliminated as a waste product. Otherwise, it is stored in your body and accumulates as

trash.

Environmental exposures that you come in contact with on a daily basis that also accumulate toxins in your body include:

· Exposure to detergents, solvents, cleaning fluids., adhesives and paint, gasoline or automobile fumes is practically unavoidable

· Insecticides including those in your supermarket that spray your fruits and vegetables to keep insects away

· Hormones, steroids and antibiotics. you get by eating all non-organic meat, poultry, daily, and even fish

· Agricultural chemical pollutants such as pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and growth hormones that are sprayed during crop production

· Food Additives, including nitrates, food colors and preservatives. More than 7,800 man-made chemicals are approved for use in food processing.

If these substances are not removed, they will build up, clog you, drag you down, and could seriously harm your health. Your liver plays a valuable role in removing toxins and processing everything that enters your body.

If your liver becomes overloaded, toxins begin to circulate in your blood and, in addition to making you feel tired and sluggish, those toxins can damage your organs and glands, cause increased inflammation in your body, cause headaches, cause weight gain and generally make you feel bad.

Acne, chronic headaches, chronic fatigue, poor complexion, dull hair, and a buildup of oil around the midsection are just some of the common symptoms of an overworked liver.

Preventing toxic buildup helps keep the liver functioning at peak efficiency. And a well-functioning liver provides you with many benefits for burning fat, generating energy, and improving health.

Things that put extra stress on the liver and can seriously interfere with the liver’s ability to produce bile and detox include:

• Sugar and artificial sweeteners because they have no nutritional value and their processing burns the vital nutrients your liver needs to function properly (sodas are a big culprit in the American diet).
• Trans fatty acids because its extra toxic nature burns essential nutrients like a torch and directly interferes with bile production and detoxification.
• Most over-the-counter pain relievers and virtually all prescription medications,
  including blood pressure and cholesterol medications now prescribed as candy. These substances pose a HUGE toxic burden to the liver.
• Regular consumption of alcohol, because ultimately alcohol will pickle your liver and a pickled liver is a dead liver.
• ConstipationBecause the liver flushes toxins into the colon and if the colon accumulates, the liver dumps the toxins into the fat cells and the toxins are retained in the body.

To start your body’s detoxification process, use cleaning formulas (like Zands cleansing formula) to detoxify the intestines, liver, kidneys and blood.

Always start a detox by cleansing the gut. The goal is to improve your efficiency to

you have regular bowel movements (ideally once every morning and after every meal (I said ideal!) and the intestine is free of yeast (candida) but abundant in “good” bacteria.

Take a complete fiber supplement like TwinLab fiber / digestion / regularity capsules that include psyllium husks. It also contains betaine hydrochloride which helps with digestion and destroys bad bacteria. While taking supplements, drink plenty of water and herbal teas (The iced herbal tea is great too ~ albeit without sugar or artificial sweeteners.) Also include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet, avoiding red meat, alcohol, caffeine, wheat, and dairy products. Continue for about 10 days or until your regular bowel movements return. Once the intestines are “happy”, it can move on to the rest of the body. Take a herbal supplement that contains cleansing herbs like milk thistle. Continue to drink plenty of fluids, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid the triggers mentioned above.

The following foods are also great to include in your diet during this time (eat organic as much as possible ~ and since there are so many organic resources there should be no excuse); carrot juice, beets, watercress, super foods like wheatgrass and barley grass, garlic, lemon juice, and nuts and seeds. Detox teas It can also be extremely beneficial while detoxifying your body ~ try Yogi Tea Wellness Detox Tea.

Another great aid for detoxification is having sea ​​salt baths. Abra Herbal Hydrotherapy Baths Cellular Detox is especially good as it includes essential oils and antioxidant vitamins. There are many great resources on the internet on how to do a proper detox and you can spend a lot of money on complex programs that promise the world. The truth is, you should do what feels good for your body. And most of the time, that includes simple steps like drinking lots of water and eating lots of fresh whole foods, avoiding processed and sugary foods.
