Detoxificaton is our body’s way of ridding itself of unwanted chemicals. These might result from our own metabolism, or enter our system from the air we breathe, the food and drink we consume, the chemicals we are exposed to, or the toxins and allergens produced by micro-organisms that inhabit our intestines.
Detoxification is a process that occurs naturally in our body on a continuing basis. Usually, however, it is a question of taking one step forward and one step back again, for as quickly as the toxins are removed, new ones are encountered – except, of course, when following a detoxification plan.
The basis of detoxification is to reduce the amount of toxins we are exposed to so that our bodies can cope effectively with those already lodged in our system.
