Natural Body DetoxificationNatural body detoxification is part of the normal healthy functioning of your body. Detoxing the body takes place throughout your entire system. The liver, kidneys, digestive tract, skin, and lungs remove toxins and wastes from the blood. The lungs excrete carbon dioxide and toxic gases. The liver processes and eliminates many impurities such as chemicals, drugs and metabolic waste from the blood. Bile from the liver carries the waste to the feces. Solid wastes, unabsorbed drugs, vitamins and foods, parasites, metals and toxins are eliminated in the feces. Drugs, heavy metals and waste products are filtered out by the kidneys. The lungs excrete carbon dioxide. The lymphatic system filters bacteria, metabolic wastes and toxins. Sweat excretes heavy metals and chemicals. If other elimination channels are overloaded, the skin may have to deal with extra toxins. Fat soluble toxins are often stored in fat cells throughout the body. Most of us are storing hundreds of chemical toxins in our bodies.
When you have a cold or allergic reaction, you are experiencing a healthy cleanse of viruses, bacteria or pollens that are irritating your system. When you are upset and cry, you detoxify through mind and body. This is a healthy cleanse of emotion accompanied by tears. It helps you feel some relief. Your eyes tear regularly to get rid of dust and other particles. All individual cells regularly detoxify and eliminate waste as part of their normal functioning. These wastes are carried away by the blood and released through the major elimination channels. Your body is adept at healthy detox. Sometimes a channel of elimination needs some extra help. Because we are exposed to so many toxins, it is helpful to intentionally support natural body detoxification. With the help of certain foods and other healthy detox practices you can promote a healthy cleanse. Continue to Detoxing the Body.
