Article Directory :: Health & Fitness Articles The Toxic Time Bomb Ticking Away Inside Your Body By James Roshwood Republish: EasyPublish™ Published: 03Aug2009 Word count: 479 Viewed: 295 time(s) Get Free Content For Your Site It is well documented that obesity, which means being seriously overweight, is a growing global phenomenon in the Western World. Some would say that this time bomb would have the same devastation on our population as detonating a nuclear device in one of our major cities. The cause of the overweight problem is because we do not take enough exercise and eat too much of the wrong kind of food. We quite simply consume more calories than we burn up which leads to an excess of fat being stored visibly on our bodies and of greater concern unseen inside our body organs. The effect is compounded every day and whilst compound interest on your savings will make you rich over time, compounding your weight gain may leave you very much dead earlier over time. It is not all our own fault and is not just the cause of gluttony. Toxins are, unknowingly to us, being pumped into our bodies as the result of companies using chemicals that are artificially manufactured. You may have heard of genetically modified crops, the process here is to bulk up the crops and make them produce more cereal per hectare than would otherwise be naturally possible. That same crop is being used to produce the cereals that we all eat; it stands to reason that some of the toxic residue may find itself inside our bodies. Mankind has survived as the dominant species on the planet because it has learned to adapt to almost every situation that is a threat to its existence, and producing enough food to eat is therefore a major concern and a potential threat. The scientific journals report that new chemicals are being produced at the rate of three times an hour and are entering the industries around the world adding to an already toxic imbalance. The main organ in our body that is used to detoxify our system is the liver. Now the liver is like any other machine it has an absolute capacity and if this capacity is exceeded then the toxins that cannot be dealt with will remain in our bodies. The toxic waste leads to the body slowing down which means that as our metabolism decreases the energy being released diminishes and the result is a build up of fat. Fat slows you down not just because you are heavier but because the unseen fat flowing around your body is damaging your immune system and because this is unseen it is like a hidden time bomb waiting to explode. All hope is not lost however and we are able to help ourselves as long as we take action. The answer is to detoxify your system on a regular basis. A very gentle way of detoxifying your system is to sip warm water either with some lemon juice or more effectively by drinking special organic herbal tea. The toxic time bomb is a deadly fascinating subject and should you want to learn more about organic herbal tea then visit detox my body naturally You have nothing to lose unless you do not take action and you have everything to gain.
