We are very fortunate that, as healthy human beings, our bodies will get rid of most toxins for us. The human body is very good at this and is quite resilient in the presence of substances that might cause us to become ill.
However, there are some things we can do to help the body get rid of toxins, whether they have entered our bodies through food and drink or have come to us through breathing or through our skin. If you aren’t sure how this toxin-removal works in the human body, think about urination or vomiting. When the body senses that some substance doesn’t belong or might make us sick, we have processes for elimination.
How Can You Help?
You can prevent many toxins from getting into your body by washing your fruits and vegetables completely before eating them or cooking them. Many of the products we eat are produced using insecticides and pesticides. If the grower didn’t use these we may not have as much choice when it comes time to put items on our table. We can wash away many of these chemicals and keep the toxins out of our bodies.
Cook your food completely and don’t try to use shortcuts when cleaning and preparing meats. Not only should you thoroughly was fruits and vegetables you should make sure that your preparation area and cooking area are very clean when cutting and preparing chicken and other meat products.
If you are working outside you may want to employ an inexpensive breathing mask. These can reduce the fumes from cars and machinery and may also block some of the airborne items that cause allergic reactions.
Water Everywhere
Our bodies are primarily made of water so we need to drink plenty of water during the day to help flush our systems. Toxins from food, from breathing and from touch can be washed away in our urine if we provide plenty of water to dilute these substances. This is especially important if you are taking a medication of some sort on a daily basis. The medicine needs to be in your body to work but you should do what you can to help get the residue out of your system.
Here are few more ideas that might help you get rid of toxins in your body: chelation is an infusion of a specific chemical that helps cleanse the system and free up the circulation system; herbal treatments and herbal supplements have many fans. Do some research about the natural substances that may help your body eliminate toxins or reduce the negative effects of those toxins; cleansing the colon has become more popular in recent years – our ancestors used the enema.
The human body is very, very good at eliminating toxins that enter through our food and through the air. But we can help by drinking plenty of fresh, clean water and fruit juices, exercising and focusing on a lifestyle that doesn’t bring those toxins to us in the first place.
