How do we gather toxins?detox your body

We live in a world increasingly polluted through air, water and soil, and the food industry uses alarming quantities of colorings, additives and stabilizers, bearing the generic name of „E-number”. All these toxins get into the human system. But because it was used to a clean environment and organic food for millennia, the body is trying its best to process and eliminate the toxins.

The residue deposits especially in the colon where it ferments and putrefies, and then through re-absorption it intoxicates the intestines, the liver, the pancreas and the entire body, until it cannot process any longer and gets blocked.

How do we know that we need detoxification?

Chronic fatigue, apathy, a decline in concentration and memorisation, migraines, irascibility, sleep disorder, faulty digestion (manifested by cramps, bloating, diarrhoea, indigestion, constipation), low immunity, weight gain, inexplicable skin rashes, abundant and stinky perspiration, thrush and halitosis (stinky breath) or the imperious desire to eat sweets – these are the main signals by which the body lets us know that there are too many toxins in our body and that we ought to act upon it as soon as possible.

How do we detoxify our bodies?

In the detoxification period it does not matter HOW much we eat, but WHAT we eat. Namely, we must choose only organic products, the least processed and without colourings, preservatives and other additives. Largely, an effective detoxification is ensured by cereals, fruit and vegetables, whose fiber content is indispensable for the bowel transit, as well as an adequate water intake, natural juices and infusions of detoxifying plants.

How often should we detoxify our bodies?

In order to maintain our bodies healthy and slim, two regimes of detoxification a year are recommended, as seasons change or after culinary gluttony (Christmas, Easter).
