Toxins are everywhere; we can’t avoid them even if we try.  Hidden toxins are everywhere, in the foods we eat and the air we breathe every day.  The foods we eat and liquids we drink are an easy way to clean up our toxin ingestion.  Our body naturally removes toxins to some extent, but those that aren’t removed can cause metabolic and health issues.  The best way to remove toxins is to go on an elimination diet that removes any potentially toxic foods and any food that may be allergenic, along with supplementing with proper nutrients that enhance your body’s natural ability to breakdown and remove toxic chemicals and heavy metals from your body.

Who needs to Detox?  If you answer yes to any of these maybe you would benefit too.

  • Do you often feel tired or have a lack of energy?
  • Do you have sore muscles for no apparent reason?
  • Do you have difficulty concentrating?
  • Are you easily irritated or feel moody?
  • Do you have trouble sleeping?
  • Do you wake up feeling unrefreshed?
  • Do you feel bloated or gain weight easily?
  • Do you have digestive or intestinal discomfort?
  • Do you feel like you’re not as healthy as other people your age?

Toxin overload can manifest itself into many physical and mental symptoms, such as:

  • Fibromyalgia & chronic fatigue
  • Generalized muscle aches
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Abdominal pain
  • Irritability, headache
  • Kidney distress, elevated liver enzymes
  • Food allergies or chemical sensitivities

Each year, more than 4 billion pounds of toxic chemicals are released into the environment; these toxic chemicals can accumulate in your body and affect overall health. Long-term exposure to even small amounts of these substances has been linked to a number of unwelcome health effects. Under normal circumstances, your body is able to rid itself of harmful chemicals and pollutants. The problem is that the sheer volume of toxins to which you are exposed can sometimes overwhelm these natural processes and then these toxins can accumulate in your tissues. Add to that an unhealthy diet lacking in proper nutrients, and the problem can get even worse.
