7) Body Detoxification FAQ

Introduction

 

The famous quote of father of medicine Hippocrates: When confronted with disease looks to spine. Death begins in colon.

 

Human body is innately genetically designed to fight against toxin. It is designed to process nutrients and take toxins. It is built in that way it will eliminate bad toxins. The problem is, if our body can handle toxic environment, then why we are suffering from various diseases? The answer to this is our body is “Over tasked”. Our body is not built to handle that much work.

 

In today’s world cancer and heart diseases are not uncommon. Every 10 out of 6 people in the world are dying of these diseases. This is a shocking fact as neither one of these are genetic. The simple reason for this is our “Lifestyle choices”. These are totally dependent on the path we choose to live our life.

 

In human body there are like 100 trillion cells. And these cells manufacture energy which then get combusted and waste product get produced from this process of cellular metabolism. Fortunately according to cell engines the waste product is carbon dioxide and water. But some metabolic processes might have damage molecule or we acquire it from our environment which are Toxic in nature.

 

EXAMPLE: – Let’s take an example, when two things collide heavily your mind and body responds to it. How one can say that? Because your heart beat elevates, blood pressure got high and then your pupils’ elevates. Liver breaks down more glycogens into glucose. So sugar level goes up. LDL cholesterol, in layman terms, called bad cholesterol got elevated. What made our body and mind to cause this? It is “stress”. Same way, toxins also causes stress on body. This stress is called chronic stress; it can be further divided into Chemical, Psychological and Physical.

 

So, what is the solution for all of these? The main solution is to eliminate those toxins. Toxins enable your metabolism to lower down and lead to having too much weight. Having too much weight can also lead to various diseases such as cancers, heart diseases and diabetes. When you get rid of those toxins, you can help your metabolism to go higher and lose weight and at the same having a healthy body for your everyday life.
