Detoxification is a fancy word for cleaning your blood. There are

many programs available to help, but your body actually has its

own way dealing with toxins. There are two major systems involved

with detoxification: anti-oxidation, and the detoxification

process in the liver.

Oxidation is best illustrated by looking at rust, which is a

reaction of metal to oxygen. When free radicals come in contact

with the body, oxidation can occur. Oxidation causes all kinds of

problems, such as allergies and certain types of sickness. The

body has a natural anti-oxidation system which includes vitamins

such as C, E, B2, bioflavonoid, beta-carotene and other

substances to prevent oxidation. Oxidation occurs at the cellular

level, so detox must occur there as well. Any deficiency of these

in the diet causes problems removing toxins.

What a good full body detox does is also remove impurities from

the blood through the liver. The liver is an important organ, and

is where toxins are processed. The body also uses other organs

such as kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymph nodes and skin to

remove toxins. Most toxins are not water-soluble. When toxins

enter the liver, two groups of enzymes break down the toxins into

water-soluble substances to be excreted via the kidneys and other

organs. When this system is not functioning properly, toxins can

go unfiltered and your whole body suffers.

There are several ways a body detox program boosts your body's

clearing of toxins. Fasting for a short period of time is usually

part of any full body detox. When you fast, your organs rest.

This gives them time to rejuvenate themselves and assist with the

cleansing. In addition to fasting, a good detox program will

stimulate the liver to eliminate common toxins from your body the

way it should have been doing all along. This also extends to

elimination through the skin, kidneys and intestines.

Circulation is always a big part of any natural body detox.

Boosting circulation of the blood through exercise, deep

breathing, and other means helps toxins be carried quickly out of

the bloodstream. The simple act of breathing deeply brings more

oxygen to your blood, thereby allowing for faster elimination of

toxins. Even though oxygen contributes to oxidation, lack of

oxygen can also cause serious problems. Blood flow helps push

more blood through the liver, allowing more toxin removal.

Diet is another major component of a body detox program. It is

important to get rid of any toxins in the diet. It is usually

necessary to cut out all sugar, caffeine, nicotine and other

harmful chemicals from your body. This is one of the most

important components, and it is helpful to continue giving your

body nutrients even after your program is complete.

Abstaining from using certain chemicals also aids in toxin

removal. Free radicals come from many household products.

Perfumes, shampoos, household cleaners, sunscreens, and much more

all contain toxins that get stuck in your body if there is no way

to eliminate it. This is why abstinence and diet are two

important ways to keep your body cleansed.
