HOW DETOXIFICATION CAN SUPPORT A HEALTHY IMMUNE SYSTEM?

In today’s life, one gets exposed to a variety of toxins. Toxins are of two types : external and internal toxins. Pollutants, synthetic chemicals, processed food and heavy metals are the external toxins. Metabolic wastes and excessive hormones are internal body wastes.

Our body has a natural tendency to eliminate toxins from the body. The detoxification makes our immune system stronger. The better the detoxification process, the less toxins a body has and healthier a person becomes.

Kidneys, liver, skin, lungs and digestive system remove toxins from the body. If they are in a good condition, then they do their work properly. If they are deceased, the toxins will accumulate in a person’s body and this compromises his immune system.

TYPES OF TOXINS ONE GETS EXPOSED ON A DAILY BASIS

Toxins are present everywhere from household chemicals which are used for cleaning, environmental pollution, exhaust from vehicles to food and drinks we consume. It is not possible for a person to avoid them.

Lead, chlorine, fluoride, polychlorinated biphenyls, formaldehyde, steroids, pesticides, copper, mercury, etc. are a few toxins to which a person gets exposed to.

Our bodies are burdened by the daily exposure of toxins. Unfortunately, most of the people don’t have good eating habits and a healthy lifestyle. This leads to weakening of the immune system and body finds it hard to fight off infections. A mild infection can become a serious illness.

HOW INCREASED AMOUNT OF TOXINS AFFECT OUR BODY

Excessive accumulation of toxins can lead to toxicity. A high level of toxicity can affect our immune system in a variety of ways:

• Due to weak immune system, inflammation occurs in the body.
• There is less absorption of nutrients from the digestive system.
• Immune system gets over-responsive. It reacts to wrong things and thus causes allergic reactions.
