WHY DO WE NEED TO DETOX?
Never before in history have we as humans been exposed to such large variety and high levels of toxins and toxic chemicals. From building materials and home furnishings to food additives, solvents, mercury fillings and thousands of other chemicals and heavy metals, toxins are part of the modern lifestyle. Even with flying, mobile phones and Wi-Fi to name a few, radiation poisoning is slowly but surely building up inside our bodies.
Often the effects of these toxins are subtle and cumulative. One may even be fooled to think of these toxic symptoms as normal. As most people display symptoms and we just learn to deal with it, without realising the ticking time bomb sitting inside our bodies.
The toxins accumulate in the water and air and no location is unaffected. Avoiding exposure is all but impossible. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), toxic chemicals are the worst environmental problem in the nation, responsible for up to 80% of cancer deaths.
For our own health, healthy aging and quality of life as we get older it is thus important that we are aware of our exposure risk to toxins in our environment as well as how to rid and detox our bodies of these toxins.
