What The Lymphatic System Is:
Undergoing detoxification is an essential process to ensure human health. Your body's lymphatic system is a natural process for detoxification. This system removes toxins, cell waste, and other matter from your body's tissues, organs, and bloodstream. The lymphatic system also delivers lymphatic fluid which contains white blood cells throughout the body.
Although the lymphatic system is a natural system for the removal of toxins, our lifestyles place undue stress on it. The average American diet adds to this stress because too many people are consuming processed/prepackaged foods. Most of these foods are loaded with sugars, artificial colorants, trans fats, and the list of chemical additives go on. These chemicals are added to make foods look and taste better but these ingredients can cause medical problems.
These foods not only put more stress on the body but creates more waste for the lymphatic system to deal with which can lead to health issue if not properly removed. When the body's lymphatic system attempts to detox, it's overwhelmed with toxins and unable to function at top performance. Therefore, rather than filtering out, many of these toxins remain behind.
There are signs that indicate your body is overloaded with toxins and waste material. Some of the common signs are as follows:
• Constant headaches and/or muscle fatigue and pain.
• Constipation
• Food allergies
• Hormonal imbalance
• Trouble with weight loss
• Skin problems such as acne
There are other deterrents that cause or contribute to toxins throughout your body. Too much consumption of certain fish that are known to carry mercury including tuna and swordfish. Taking medications to manipulate hormones which include birth control, hormone supplements and frequently used NSAID pain relievers are likely to increase toxicity. Dental fillings containing mercury or amalgams can lead to toxic issues as well.
Depending on the type of toxins, you can experience many different chronic and degenerative conditions that have underlying problems leading to chemical overload. One molecule of mercury can prevent the functions of up to 1,000 zinc molecules. Engaging in a detoxification program can assist and support the body in its natural cleansing process and help rid of substances that may be harmful to your health.
Through a specialized detoxification, there must be a removal of certain toxins in order for essential nutrients to become available in our cells for renewal:
• Metabolic waste
• Fat
• Excess proteins (fibrosis)
• Calcium
• Heavy metals
• Mucous
• Chemical residue
• Pollution
• Drugs
• Radiation
Your body can be free and clear of toxic debris and waste when good nutrition is provided. The body's natural healing process will enable it to heal from any disease.
How Detoxification Works:
Proper detoxification does not require starving yourself or using expensive liquids or pills. A good cleansing allows your body to detox naturally with a little assistance from choosing healthy foods, making healthy lifestyle choices, and supplements. In some cases, there may be withdrawal symptoms at first, such as fatigue, hunger, headaches, and irritability. Not to worry, these symptoms should pass within a few days. Eliminating junk from your body is similar to stopping substance abuse such as tobacco.
