Toxins

The word ‘toxin’ often has negative connotations, the word refers to anything that our body is unable to digest or get rid of. This includes the natural, biological waste from cells and internal processes in the body, and also waste and bacteria from foods we haven’t been able to digest properly. Usually, our bodies eliminate these waste products perfectly efficiently, but sometimes toxins can build up and we start to see symptoms of them.

Unfortunately, the food and lifestyle industry has leaped on the word ‘toxin’ and it’s often used to refer to something negative and unnatural like added chemicals and pollutants – something to avoid or “get rid of”. However, as we said before these toxins are often leftover organic waste from natural processes in the body, or foods that don’t suit us. These foods and waste can then end up hanging around in our digestive systems causing us problems. For this reason, it might be more helpful to think of toxins simply as ‘residues’ instead.

These toxins or residues can arise from three sources – environmental, cellular waste products and from bacteria in our digestive tract. The physical symptoms include:

• Gas and bloating – (a sign of fermentation in your gut)
• Excessive coating on the back of the tongue
• Bad breath
• Foul smelling sweat 

How can we eliminate toxins safely?

Some general tips include:

• taking regular cardiovascular exercise to build up a bit of sweat helps to eliminate toxins through the circulatory pathways.
• dry brushing massage every day to move the lymphatic system.
• drinking plenty of fluids helps to flush out lymphatic system and move toxins through the kidney system.
• eating foods that you can digest completely before the food turns into gas.
• choosing fibre-rich foods that encourage healthy elimination.
• eating a diet that is appropriate for our body type so we don’t create stress on any one organ in our system.

A more effective way to eliminate toxins, is to use Norland Detox Pro Pack.
