We are often told to avoid toxins by eating a healthy diet, living a positive lifestyle and doing exercises as often as we can, but many individuals don’t actually understand what toxins they are trying to avoid diligently. Essentially, a toxin can be described as anything that doesn’t have nutritional value and will damage the body when ingested.
Exposure to toxins is unavoidable. The trace amounts of toxins can be found in the food we eat, the air we breathe, even the clothes we wear, and it’s up to our bodies to get rid of them so they don’t cause damage since the human body has a built-in mechanism to eliminate those toxins. But in case the body fails to flush out those toxins properly, they can build up over time and turn harmful. Overall, it leads to toxic overload, which can damage the tissues, compromise organ functioning, and thereby give rise to a wide range of ailments.
