10 signs it’s time to cleanse your body of toxins
We are surrounded by billions of bacteria, and even on your favorite smartphone there are so many of them that you can get seriously ill. Here are some of the symptoms that come from exposure to harmful substances and what to do about them.
When we eat, we unwittingly absorb many chemicals such as preservatives, colors and flavors. The gastrointestinal system has to digest waste from these toxins, which cause intestinal inflammation and constipation. Eat natural foods, limit your alcohol intake, and drink plenty of water.
If you experience dizziness, disorientation, and inability to concentrate even in the morning after a sound sleep, toxins may be the cause, causing a series of reactions that burn off important vitamins and minerals your body needs. This is similar to how to fill your car with bad gas.
You took a morning shower, used your favorite deodorant, but on the subway, people tilt their noses to the side if you get close to them. Yes, it was the toxins that made you stink! Once inside, they produce gases and odors that escape from the body through the pores and make you an outcast, says Bright Side.
4. Pain in muscles and joints
Unless you’re doing physically strenuous work or overdoing it in the gym, the accumulation of toxins may be the cause of your pain. Painful sensations are a sign that there is a focus of inflammation somewhere in the body. If you have no other cause, try detox.
Skin is the largest organ in our body and is often exposed to pollutants. In addition, the shampoos, conditioners, soaps and lotions we use may contain hazardous chemicals. All together can cause rashes, acne and eczema.
On the one hand, the accumulated toxins in the body make you feel tired, and on the other hand, they can lead to sleep disturbances, as they affect the level of the hormone cortisol that helps you fall asleep. Insomnia, in turn, leads to serious health problems.
If, despite being active in the gym, you continue to get better, then perhaps something has happened to your hormones. Toxins negatively affect a number of hormones, including those responsible for maintaining a healthy weight. A transition to a healthy natural diet and a complete detox can help.
A bad smell usually indicates digestive problems. It appears when the digestive system has to strain to digest what you have eaten. Digestive problems also occur if the liver has to cleanse the body of all accumulated toxins.
9. Brittle and scary toenails
The force of gravity causes the toxins to descend, and the toenails are the last to suffer. Most of the day they are covered with socks and shoes – this is an ecosystem adored by fungi that begin to grow rapidly. Along with medications, the problem should be solved with holistic methods from the inside, ridding the body of toxins.
10. Accelerated hair loss
Hair loss is a sign of daily toxic overload. It can be caused by arsenic, lead and thallium (present in cigarette smoke) and can even be fatal. Take hair loss seriously and consult your doctor.
If you have one or more of the above symptoms, it is recommended that you go through a fairly simple detox procedure:
– drink plenty of water, which flushes out toxins;
– to help your liver fight toxins, it is recommended to drink dandelion tea or add thistle to food;
– do yoga, which improves blood circulation and helps the body get rid of toxins;
– brush your teeth after eating, also use a tongue scraper;
– there is only ecologically pure, natural food;
– add probiotics to meals;
– use only natural cosmetics, free from fragrances and other toxins.

– Detox involves, first of all, reducing the calorie content of the diet, and here it is very important not to overdo it. If you stick to it for too long, you can cause a decrease in metabolism to a third of the original. Then it will be difficult to return it to its original values. The main thing is to pay attention to what you eat: not just healthy fish, but fresh fish, without adding flavor enhancers and preservatives. However, you should always try to adhere to this principle of nutrition, and not only during a detox program.
