Healthy B.P.M.

The word “detoxify” has a bad connotation, and the visual that’s associated with it can be a little disgusting. On the other hand some people think that detoxing brings an automatic drop in pounds. When you’re in need of a detox, your body shows some signs that you have built up toxins. These toxins can have a direct affect on your level of fitness and health. Keep in mind; detoxing is not a miracle weight loss cure.

During times that you feel sluggish, you may also experience continuous aching, diarrhea, constipation, and even a feeling of clumsiness. Rapid weight gain and the inability to lose the excess weight can also be signs of having a build up of toxins in the body.

Those who eat a typical Western diet may consume an unheard of amount of garbage for each cell. In ridding your body of the unwanted garbage in your cells, you should pay attention to your elimination organs.

The organs that deal with cell waste management play a major role in the detoxing process.

Your liver is the organ that recycles the unwanted chemicals in the body. It sorts and sends the toxins to the other waste management organs for elimination during the process of circulation.

The lymph glands also play an important role in eliminating toxins. A network of tubing pulls the excess waste from the cells to the final eliminating organs. The appendix, thymus, tonsil, and spleens are major lymphatic glands that help the major organs of the body in cleansing and detoxing.

The kidneys help with water management of the body. They help maintain the good chemistry of the blood alkaline by eliminating the dissolved acid waste. You can help your kidney to function very well by drinking plenty of water. Drinking fresh alkaline juices and purified water can be beneficial. Adding as little as ½ ounce of alkaline everyday can yield positive results.

The lungs aren’t usually thought of as detoxifiers, but they work hard to keep the blood purified. They are responsible for removing waste gases that are found in every cell of the body. Deep breathing and fresh air is very helpful in keeping the lungs healthy and free from toxins. If you are in an urban area, it’s recommended that you find an oxygen rich area where you can perform deep breathing. Good luck with that one.

The colon is the solid waste management organ in your body. Medical practitioners have found people that have up to an 80-pound mucus and rubber like solid waste build up on the walls of the colon. Detoxing and cleaning the colon can be a real tough thing to do. However, having a free waste colon can certainly provide you good benefits of having a clean and healthy body. However, this is not the case for everyone and I repeat not the magic bullet for weight loss.

If you think you’re in need of detoxification, start with regular exercise. Don’t over look its benefits in maintaining a fit and healthy body. Some doctors also suggest that you drink plenty of lemon water. The lemon has an alkaline rather than acidic effect on the body. It’s also an effective way of maintaining good circulation and can increase the rate of detoxification inside the body. See, no need for anything drastic and expensive.
