Detox is a natural process occurring on a continual basis in the body, but because of the modern diet, the enormous number of chemicals we ingest daily and the increase in chronic degenerative diseases, regular detox is necessary.
The purpose of detox is to neutralize and eliminate any compound in the body that can be toxic. A detox diet strengthens the organs involved in detox and releases stored toxins, expelling them through the organs of elimination: the skin, intestines, liver, lungs, kidneys and lymphatic system.
A detox program may consist of a special diet, nutritional supplements, herbs, hydrotherapy, exercise, breathing techniques and/or sauna.
A toxin is a compound that can harm the structure or function of body cells and tissues.
Toxins can come from the environment (alcohol, tobacco, pesticides, heavy metals such as mercury, food additives, oral contraceptives, and drugs). The body, during its normal functioning, forms by-products that could also have toxic effects if the body didn't neutralize them.
