WELLNESS WITH ARINOLA: TELL TALE SIGNS OF TOXINS IN THE BODY
So, it’s January, A New Year, A New You! One of the ways I know people begin the New Year is to Detoxify!
Detoxification generally refers to Cleansing, Purification, Renewal and Transformation.
Toxins set into our body every day in many different forms. Accumulation of these toxins create health challenges for us over time. It is therefore prudent and essential to remove/expel harmful body toxins to maintain Optimum Health. The wise ones usually do… especially after the over-indulgence over the Christmas and New Year Celebrations.
Our lifestyles reflected by decades of wrong diet, poor choices, excess food, heavy food, rich food, carbonated drinks, alcohol, smoking, super sizing, buffets, celebrations/parties during which we indulge may be contributing factors to build up of toxins in our bodies plus the ones we acquire from pollution in the environment –generator fumes, car/okada fumes, industrial pollution, oil spills, etc.. Some of the tell-tale signs of a Toxic System include: • Constipation • Expanding waist line • Inability to lose weight • Fatigue • Frequent headaches • Dull skin • Body odour • Bloating or Flatulence • Indigestion • Bad breath • Coated tongue • Sleep problem • Craving for sugar • Food sensitivities • Premenstrual syndrome • Excessive sweating/(or not for all) • Dry cracked nails • Nausea and vomiting • Frequent colds • Weak immune system • Easy bruising • Hemorrhoids • Cellulites • Eating disorder • Extremely thin • Lower back pain • Weak joints • Hair loss • Weak bones • Skin problems • Poor complexion • Dark puffy eyes • Low energy levels
Toxicity in the body could be manifested in emotional signs: - • Anger • Frustration • Mood swings • Irritability • Lack of ability to express anger • Agitation • Finding it difficult to relax or sleep • Stubbornness • Worry • Fueling memory • Fear • Insecurity • Paranoia • Panic attacks • Sadness • Over enthusiasm • Emotional highs or lows • Shaking
It goes without saying that we should endeavor to eliminate toxins from our system. It is a Lifestyle choice we have to imbibe as we can see from the tell-tale signs above that they affect virtually every part of our being.
There is a plethora of detox treatments, detox packages, detox drinks, detox plans, detox retreats available; they differ in their actions and their intents. We have the ability to control our Health Destiny. Life is all about Choices! I wish you Optimum Health and Well-Being!!!
