HOW TO RID YOUR BODY OF CHEMICAL TOXINS!

Harmful chemicals include ALL chemicals that can hurt one’s body.  This can include both natural chemicals (like an excess of certain minerals), and also synthetic (man-made) chemicals (like various pesticides, food additives, and prescription drugs).   

1) AVOID VARIOUS TOXINS

The first way is to avoid ingesting various toxic chemicals.  Our bodies also absorb various environmental toxins that we are exposed to each day.  In other words, there are plenty of toxins that are absorbed into our bodies from the air we breathe, the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the water we drink, bathe in, or shower in, and various other ways as well.

Having a lot of toxins from within our bodies and from outside our bodies can sometimes overwhelm our bodies when these toxins are collecting inside our bodies quicker than our bodies can convert them into nontoxins or remove the toxins from our bodies.  When peoples' bodies start accumulating toxins, the result is that a variety of health imbalances occur.  The symptoms from these health imbalances are a combined result of the damaging effects upon the body by the toxins, and the body's attempt to convert the toxins into nontoxins or remove the toxins from the body.  When the body can do neither of these effectively, the body will often store many of these toxins in body tissue (especially fat cells).

2) ENCOURAGE THE LIVER AND KIDNEYS TO WORK BETTER 

The second way to rid the body of toxic chemicals is to encourage the liver and kidneys to work better, since these body organs help to rid the body of many different types of chemical toxins.

 The liver is the body's chemical factory.  A healthy liver can create thousands of nutrients for our bodies, and it can also convert thousands of different types of toxic chemicals into nontoxins.  This is provided that it is a "healthy" liver.

The kidneys take certain toxins out of the blood and lymphatic fluid, and then gets these toxins out of the body, by putting these toxins into urine.  When the person urinates, out come the toxins.  The kidneys can only do this effectively if they are "healthy" kidneys.

An Unhealthy Liver and Kidneys
When a person has a weak liver and weak kidneys, various kinds of toxins begin collecting in the person's body.  The body will then respond by trying to get rid of the toxins, in a variety of ways.  Some ways that the body tries to get rid of toxins are sending them out of the body through the skin (rashes, pimples), in mucous (runny nose), in sweat (sweating throughout the day), in urine (dark smelly urine), and through the lungs (bad breath, and sometimes asthma).  The body trying to get rid of toxins these ways (due to a weak liver) is often what people call an "allergy".

The body may also try to store some of these toxins in cells in the body.  For example, it's fairly common for the body to store toxins in fat cells.  This is a common reason why some people gain weight so easily (in the form of fat), and they can't seem to lose that extra weight, even when they eat just a small amount of food each day.  Again, this is something a person's body generally does when the person's liver and kidneys are unhealthy.

A Healthy Liver and Kidneys

When a person's liver and kidneys are healthy, they work together, as an effective team, to rid the body of many toxins that we encounter in our daily living.

A healthy liver can help rid the body of toxins in three main ways:

1) It can change some toxins into nontoxins.

2) It can put some toxins into the bile that is sends to the gall bladder, which eventually ends up in the intestines.  While in the intestines, many of these toxins are digested (into nontoxins), or come out of the body when the person passes some stool.

3) It can change some toxins into chemicals that the kidneys can recognize as chemicals that should be put in the urine.


Healthy kidneys can be thought of as good decision makers.  They constantly decide what chemicals should stay in the body, and which chemicals should be removed from the body.  The chemicals that should be removed from the body, get put in urine.  The urine gets stored in the person's bladder, until the person urinates.  When the person urinates, the undesirable chemicals leave the body.

Having a healthy liver and kidneys can sure help make a person's life much nicer!  After all, a body that has an abundance of nutrients, and very few toxins, tends to be a healthy and happy body!


3) RELEASE STORED TOXINS - 

The third way to rid the body of chemical toxins, is to encourage one’s body to release any harmful chemicals that are presently stored in the person’s body.


 WATER - One of the easiest ways to encourage our bodies to release stored toxins, is simply to drink plenty of water each day.  

 
CLAY BATHS -Taking a bath in a mixture of water and clay can help rid a person's body of various excess metals that the person's body might be storing (such as excess aluminum, copper, or nickel).  

SWEATING - Sweat often contains various toxins, such as certain heavy metals.  And so sweating can be a helpful detoxification technique.  Some ways to encourage sweating are exercising in warm weather, having steam baths, and sitting in saunas.  



PHYSICAL EXERCISE - The lymphatic system is a part of the body that in some ways is similar to the blood stream.  Like the blood stream, the lymphatic system is a series of passageways that carries both nutrients and toxins throughout the body.  The lymphatic system carries various types of toxins from various areas of the body to the kidneys.  There, the kidneys then remove many of these toxins, by putting them in the urine.  When a person urinates, out come the toxins.  So a healthy lymphatic system is needed for the body to rid itself effectively of various toxins.
