The Body's Natural Detoxification Process
The body detoxification process was often being taken for granted perhaps because it was not something that we see or something that we considered to be just natural and therefore, automatic. But these past few months, people have become more aware of the role that the body's detoxification function plays in keeping them healthy. They realize that their health, wellbeing and general appearance depend on how completely the body gets rid of the toxins that they take in everyday through the air and food.
A great detoxification process can lead to a healthier body, a sounder mind and even weight loss and clearer skin. To those who still do not know what toxins are: these are poisons that we take into the body, which can harm our organs and cells. We can get it from the chemicals in the food that we eat and the pollutants that we come into contact with in the environment. There are now detox clinics and procedures in hospitals that aid the body in flushing out unwanted toxins. They can be very expensive especially now when demand on these kinds of medical procedures has increased due to its beneficial side effect: weight loss. These procedures however are not the be all and end all of things. If you do not have the money to avail of these procedures, you can always do the detoxification yourself. You see, the body naturally does detoxification. We even have a team of organs that take care of this process. The liver is the one that takes care of most of the detoxification. It gets rid of the toxins in the body first before letting them through the blood stream. It also takes care of what is called the fat-soluble toxins in the body. The kidneys on the other hand take care of the water-soluble toxins and flush them out as urine. Of course, there is also the large intestine, which takes care of the solid wastes and sends them out through feces. Even the lungs and the skin are part of the detox team. The lungs cleans the air that we breathe while the skin flushes out toxins through sweat.
You don't need expensive and artificial body detoxification procedures if you will only take care of your kidney and liver. The natural way to detox is still the best. Just eat healthy, drink lots of water and observe personal hygiene and you are already good to go.
