Your body absorbs nutrients and toxins every time you eat, drink, breathe, and come into contact with certain things. For example, you absorb sunlight to get the vitamin D that you need, and you breathe to get the oxygen that’s vital to life. Your skin, lungs, and digestive system are among the largest routes for eliminating toxins, too.
And when you take toxins in, they find their way into your cells, including your fat tissues. Although your body has its own built-in detoxification system, it is not set up to adequately deal with all the toxins that come with life in today’s environment. The growing rates of cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, autism, fatigue, heart disease, infertility, allergies, and obesity seen in modern society have a direct link to toxins inside our bodies.
Even biochemicals are harder for your body to eliminate than they were before outside toxins interfered and led to an overworked system. As a result, your immune system suffers, your metabolism suffers, and you stay tired, sick, and overweight.

Toxins play a big part in many physical, mental, and emotional problems that are so common that we have a tendency to chalk them up to “getting older” or “just a normal part of life.”
Many of these issues are inter-related, and some have a direct link to obesity. Some of the following problems can be caused by toxins (or worsened by them) and might apply to you:

How is this possible?
Long story short, toxins affect the way cells function and over time, they can change cell structure as well. Consider cancer, which is often associated with toxins that the sufferer has come into contact with, and you can see the connection.
We’ve been conditioned to accept toxins in various forms, and to believe that they’re a necessary part of modern life. Living with toxic buildup has been normalized despite the fact that people are fatter and sicker than ever before. Even though people in western nations are living longer, we’re also subject to chronic illnesses that were once rare.
While the body has built-in mechanisms for eliminating toxins (sweating, urination, defecation, and even crying are among them), natural detoxification just isn’t enough. Regularly detoxing can change your life by reversing symptoms. Detoxing gives your body a much-needed break from the constant influx of chemicals, and it allows your system to flush accumulated toxins.
