WELLNESS WITH ARINOLA: TELL TALE SIGNS OF TOXINS IN THE BODY

- WITH ARINOLA

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!!!
