Buy nowIt’s that time of year again – when people start talking about “detoxing” their body after a long winter of being cooped up indoors and taking in heavier foods. But what is detoxification? Is it a fad, or is it something that you can benefit from?
Detox your body: The basics
When you detox your body, you’re eliminating toxic matter from your body by changing your eating habits. This creates a more alkaline environment so that you can live a longer, healthier life that is full of energy.
The elimination channels in the body consists of the skin, lungs, bowels and kidneys. These organs are essential in helping the body maintain the correct alkaline and acidic balance. If for some reason they are bogged down by too much toxic matter, it could result in acidosis (acid buildup), which can cause major health problems.
Your body is a machine. And like any machine, you need to take care of it in order for it to function properly. What happens when you don’t service a car? One issue turns into another, and it eventually breaks down. The same goes for your body. You get out of it what you put into it, and disease and sickness are the manifestation of poor eating choices.
“Dead” food (meat, eggs and other dairy products) or processed food (soda, candy, packaged goods) create a toxic, acidic environment inside of your body which, in turn, slows it down and causes health problems that you pay for in the form of fatigue, constipation, disease and much more. The nutrients you would get from any healthy food that you do eat won’t get absorbed and your energy will be depleted because your system is overwhelmed with toxic materials.
