Poisons are everywhere in the world today. Because of this, our body is exposed to more chemicals. But the body also produces toxins due to the reactions of harmful chemicals in the body.
That is why our bodies have organs and systems designed to fight and eliminate such harmful chemicals from the body. Because of this, we have the ability to eliminate most toxins from our bodies ourselves.
Today, in this article, we will talk about how the body detoxifies, the damage that this process can cause to the body if it is not done properly, and what we can do to make this process efficient.
How the body detoxifies
Lungs – Our lungs protect us by providing our body with the oxygen it needs and exhaling the toxic gases that enter the body with our breath.
Together, we reduce the absorption of toxins into the body.
Digestive System - Although the main function of this system is to digest food, the digestive system is also able to eliminate toxins that enter the body with food through vomiting and feces.
Kidneys - The kidneys help us by filtering the toxins in the blood and excreting them through urine.
Liver - The chemical composition of the toxins in the blood is changed into a substance that is not harmful to the body and is released back into the blood or digestive system.
Our liver plays a major role in the body's natural detoxification process.
If the body does not properly detoxify…
Although our body has a mechanism to detoxify, not all the toxins that enter the body are eliminated. This can be caused by harmful chemicals in the modern world, such as artificial and fast foods, as well as other diseases in the body.
So what happens when toxins are not properly eliminated from the body?
This can cause many diseases. These toxins can cause immediate illnesses as well as build up over time and make you sick for a long time.
Harmful conditions that toxins can cause in the body
These toxins,
Damage the body's enzymes.
Change minerals.This can damage our skeletal system.
Damage organs such as the liver and kidneys.
Imbalance hormones and hormone-related problems.
Damage cell membranes.
Damage DNA.
Reduce the body's ability to detoxify.
Apart from this, these toxins also cause many other diseases.
What can we do to speed up/make the body's detoxification process more efficient?
Maintain your immune system well by eating at the right time, getting proper nutrition, and minimizing mental stress.
Include more vegetables, fruits, and spices like turmeric and garlic in your diet.
Include foods that cleanse the intestines in your diet regularly.
In addition to detoxifying the body, engage in a natural detoxification process at least twice a year.
Drink more water.
Include sweating activities in your daily routine. (Hot yoga, exercise, etc.) Because you can also eliminate some toxins from the body with sweat.
Avoid consuming strong artificial cleaning agents, artificial foods, and plastics as much as possible.
Let's minimize the damage of harmful chemicals that we add to the body due to time or taste. You too, keep these things in mind and minimize the harmful effects of toxins on the body.
