So, what does it mean?

Your body has a natural ability to get rid of toxins through a process called detoxification.

The Body’s Reclamation of Its Optimal Self 

Detoxification is a process that is done mostly by the liver and the gut, and in small parts, by the skin, lungs, and kidneys.

To keep toxins out of our bodies, the liver plays a vital role. It has two phases that use enzymes to break down harmful substances and render them water soluble so they can be removed via urine or stools, essentially making sure we stay in good health.

Your gut is an effective purifier, capable of expelling unwanted toxins through your stool or feces. Keep it healthy and running in peak condition to protect yourself from harmful substances.

Your lungs are as effective at removing toxins from the air we breathe in as any filter—if they’re soluble, then it’s no problem!

Our kidneys play an important detoxification role in our bodies, helping us get rid of lipophilic toxins that are difficult to clear by other processes. The detox process involves the kidneys filtering out undesirable compounds from our bodies as well as excreting excess water and other waste products, such as urea, through urine.

Our skin is so much more than we often give it credit for. Not only does it form a protective layer, but it also helps to eliminate toxins from our bodies. Unfortunately, though, common skincare practices can be quite damaging—sometimes without us even realizing it.

Inappropriate Detoxification?

There are many diseases that take place because your detoxification process is not on point.

Autoimmune Diseases

Ignoring the presence of heavy metals and molds can put your health in jeopardy, as they increase one’s vulnerability to autoimmune diseases. Taking preventive measures today is the key to a healthy tomorrow.

Fibromyalgia and Migraine headaches

If you’re feeling a little foggy and having trouble focusing, it could be due to toxins building up in your system. Even things like migraines, fibromyalgia, and memory issues can all stem from poor detoxification.

What could be blocking detoxification pathways?

Mutations in enzymes or deficiencies are beyond your control. 

Your liver is not only responsible for processing the food and medications you consume; it also ensures your body works at its best. If something goes wrong with your enzymes or the genetic codes within them, toxins may be prevented from leaving your system, reducing performance levels drastically.

Fortunately, nutrition has the power to help make positive change! Adding key nutrients into your diet may provide an avenue for improving those enzymatic deficits and facilitate optimal health overall.

Helping the Organs of Detoxification

For Phase One Detoxification 

Enhancing your natural detoxification system is an important goal. To make sure this process works as smoothly and optimally as possible, it’s key to introduce the right nutrients into your diet. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to naturally obtain B vitamins. Eating more green, leafy vegetables is one example. They naturally contain B-complex vitamins like folate and riboflavin, which are instrumental in aiding Phase I detoxification.

For Phase Two Detoxification

One component of phase two detox is methylation, which can be naturally improved with certain nutrient intakes. Incorporating some methylated B vitamins and sulfur-containing foods into your diet can help up-regulate your phase two processes and aid in removing toxins from the body. Phase two also includes a healthy lifestyle full of plenty of sleep, exercise, and nutrition—all easy additions to assist your naturally occurring detoxification process.

Exercise

Movement really helps, especially when you are exercising. You perspire, and you get rid of many toxins through your skin.

Steam the Toxins Out 

Steaming toxins out is an effective way of doing just that. From alternate heat and cold to sauna sessions or even cryotherapy, these cleansing treatments will help you detoxify your system..

Supplementation 

Certain supplements can be a powerful way to bolster your body’s natural defense system. Not only do supplements help strengthen phase one and phase two enzymes in the liver, but they also promote gut healing, which leads to better toxin elimination, paving the road for improved overall health.

Sleep and Stress Management

Doing something as simple as managing your sleep and stress levels can be the key to unlocking a healthier, more energetic you. Studies have found that proper rest and relaxation are essential for natural detoxification processes, so why not take this opportunity to create positive change in all areas of your life?
