Whilst most of us will spend time on a daily basis looking after the external appearance of our bodies; be it combing our hair, brushing our teeth, or putting on some make-up, it is this external layer which hides and protects the complex machine underneath. So, do you ever think about looking after your internal environment in the same way you look after the external? The human body has evolved to effectively carry out all of the necessary tasks to keep us alive. However, over the past century it is our diet and lifestyle which has changed dramatically and which can, in a lot of instances, hinder the work our bodies are trying to do. This is because the modern diet and lifestyle can introduce a lot of toxins into the body. Toxins are substances that are foreign to the body; they do not belong in the body and they serve no purpose there. Toxins require removal from the body as they can hamper the functioning of internal organs which can have a detrimental effect on health. It is the job of the liver to remove these toxins. Toxins come in many forms and can enter the body through a number of mechanisms: * Through the foods we eat. Many foods contain artificial additives, preservatives and artificial colourings. Many farmed products contain a residue of pesticides, fertilisers and herbicides. Non-organic meats may have been subjected to artificial substances such as growth hormones. Many foods are high in refined sugars, such as fizzy drinks, cakes and confectionary. * Through the drinks we consume. Alcohol and caffeine are two toxins commonly found in beverages. * Through the air we breathe. Exhaust fumes, gases, pollen, moulds and mites, can all be found in the air, and subsequently enter the body when we breathe. * Through the medications we take. Be it painkillers such as aspirin and paracetamol, or prescribed medications such as the contraceptive pill. All of these substances are toxic in the body and need to go to the liver in order to be removed. Due to their prevalence in modern living this can put a lot of pressure on the liver and as such, high levels can accumulate in the body. When this happens a wide range of negative symptoms can manifest, such as aches and pains, mood swings and headaches; to name just a few. This is where the body really could benefit from undergoing a safe detox plan designed to fully support the liver. This Article has been written by Rebecca Fairchild from The Food Advice Centre, who provide nutritional therapy consultations to help promote health through the foods we eat. Fully accredited through BANT, The Food Advice Centre also provides a mentored 10 day detox programme to help support the health of the body.
