Don’t Poison Yourself – Simple Ways to Detox
If your quality of life is starting to be impacted by symptoms like: Fatigue, headaches, abdominal pain and bloating, IBS, weight gain, heartburn, skin problems, muscle and joint pain, poor quality sleep, brain fog, and mood disorders and you are unsure of the cause despite speaking with the doctor and running your lab tests, hidden toxins might be the culprit.
Which toxins do we speak of?
Here are some of the toxins which might affect your health and hormones.
Metabolic Waste
It is a normal by-product of your metabolism. However, a build-up of metabolic waste can cause significant health problems.
Heavy Metals
Heavy metals like mercury, lead, and cadmium are natural components of the earth’s crust and get into our food from the soil, air, or rain. They might harm our
How does detoxification work? How can we limit our toxin exposure? Nutrition
I recommend an alkaline diet that provides the body with sufficient vitamins and minerals but is very gentle. Foods that are metabolized in an alkaline manner are not harmful. Fruits, nuts, legumes, vegetables, millet, amaranth, quinoa, and potatoes are alkaline. Organic produce should be preferred to avoid further burdening the body with pesticides. It is important to ensure adequate fluid intake. 2-3 liters of still water a day supports the body in excreting toxins.
Intermittent Fasting
Going without food stimulates the cells’ self-cleaning powers, keeps you young, and perhaps even extends your life. This process is called autophagy. Autophagy occurs when you completely abstain from food, but it also starts after a few hours without food. Intermittent fasting 16:8 implies fasting for 16 hours and eating for 8 hours. The body uses its reserves during the 16 hours without food and initiates autophagy. This strengthens the cardiovascular system, counteracts inflammation, and central nervous system.
Pesticides
Depending on the quantity and methods of exposure, pesticides can be toxic to humans and have both short-term and long-term health consequences.
Mycotoxins
Mycotoxins are metabolic products of mold that can cause various diseases.
Microplastics
Microplastics can get into our food from its packaging. According to studies, exposure to microplastics over an extended period may negatively affect the endocrine, reproductive, and nervous systems and various chronic diseases.
Medicines and medicine residues
Many medicines can affect liver function and/or damage the liver. Unfortunately, since medications are administered to humans and animals, drug residues are often found in meat samples.
positively affects sugar and fat metabolism. Regeneration and anti-aging processes should also be promoted in this way.
These recommendations gently support the body in detoxification and can be implemented by everyone. If you feel you need stronger detoxification, then a gut and liver cleanse might be the right choice. However, since this type of detox can sometimes cause unwanted side effects, known as a “detox crisis” or Herxheimer reaction, it should be carried out with the help of an experienced practitioner.
