Detoxification is the body’s process of removing toxic substances. Our main detoxification organs are the liver and kidneys. Additionally, our lymphatic system, digestive tract, skin, and lungs also play a part in our body detoxification.

 

Our body naturally detoxify and eliminates toxins that are harmful to the body every day. Some examples of toxins are pollutants (free radicals), synthetic chemicals, drug medications, alcohol, heavy metals, and processed foods.

 

How does our body’s organ detoxify?

Liver – It filters our blood to remove toxins. It metabolize toxins such as alcohol and drugs into harmless substance. Then, it eliminates toxins out from our body by producing bile and excrete it out into our digestive tract.

 

• It filters our blood to remove waste product such as urea, uric acid and ammonia. Our kidneys need fluid to flush out the waste through urine. Therefore, it is important to drink plenty of water so that our kidneys can be efficient in eliminating unwanted waste.

 

Gut – Our gut digest and absorb nutrients and vitamins from food, then eliminates the waste through our colon. Having constipation causes toxins to build up in the colon and causes colon cancer in long term. It is important to consume plenty of fibers and water so that we can have smooth bowel movement every day.
