Do you have frequent headaches? Bloated? Suffer from allergies? Your skin breaking out or look dull? Do you have unexplained weight gain? Do your joints and muscles often ache? Mood swings? Issues with your blood pressure or cholesterol? Always feel fatigued? Do you have indigestion?
If you said yes to three or more of the these symptoms, you may be!
Over time, this “toxic burden” can lead to bigger problems, like obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, stroke, and even neurological disorders.
Well, we take in toxins through 3 avenues: our environment, or the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the products we put on our skin, our largest organ!
A toxin is anything the body doesn’t see as beneficial, and doesn’t use as fuel. Think of yourself as a bathtub. The toxins are the water pouring in from the spout, and the drain is your elimination system (liver, kidneys, and intestines). When the spout has toxins rushing in at a rate quicker than the drain can handle…they spill over into our vital organs, and into adipose tissue or FAT!
What Can We do?
Slow down that water spout of toxin influx by looking at the food you eat, and the products you use. These products are absorbing into your blood stream every day!
· Eat clean. Don’t choose “low fat” food labels, eat real food, cage free eggs, organic produce, grass fed beef, lean proteins
· Remove allergenic foods. For most people these are: Gluten, soy, dairy, alcohol, caffeine, sugar
· Increase your nutrient intake. More anti oxidants, more low sugar type fruits like green apples and berries, and more super foods like beets, yams, and greens!
· Support your elimination organs…milk thistle, dandelion are great to flush liver…flush your kidneys and intestine too. Drink 64 oz at least of water every day
· Look at the labels on products! Mineral oil, parabens, sodium laurel sulfate or SLS, are Red Flags!
