Detoxification is about utilizing simple, noninvasive methods to transform inner toxins left behind by pollution or natural functions such as protein metabolism. Clearing out excess waste and dead cells can revitalize your body’s healing capacities while increasing energy and improving both daily routines and fitness performance.
A toxin is any element the body doesn’t have a use for, like lead and mercury and hydrocarbons, and more mundane things like food colorings and hydrogenated fats. These toxins are in just about everything we come into contact with: polluted air and water, pesticides in foods, and chemicals in shampoos and medications. We store them in fat cells, in the brain and in the nervous system.
Accumulating these inner poisons can lead to a wide range of symptoms such as sluggishness, fatigue, slow metabolism, poor digestion, skin disorders, headache or persistent coughing. (All of which, of course, do nothing to enhance your fitness regimen.) It may also increase your risk of arthritis, heart disease or cancer.
