Toxins Are Stealing Your Health and Energy

 

 

Environmental Toxins Linked To Most US Disease

  

 

 

There are 72 different insecticides, pesticides, and chemical poisons in our fruits and vegetables. Animals are injected with hormones, heavy metals, and pharmaceuticals, and our air, filled with toxins. PAH toxins, from anything that burns (barbecues, cigarettes, automobiles, factories), are linked to the breakdown of immune mechanisms that protect us from breast cancer. Toxins in our environment are a serious problem, linked to most disease in the U.S. today.

 

 

LIVER: THE BODY’S CLEANSING FACTORY

 

The liver is the body’s cleansing “laboratory.” It filters toxins from the blood, breaks them down, and sends them to the lungs, skin, kidneys, and colon for excretion.  It’s the liver’s job to disable toxins to isolate them from important organs.

 

 

WHY YOU HAVE A FAT STOMACH

 

Poisons the liver can’t break down must be stored away from important body organs.  They’re coated with fat and water and deposited.

 

There are no boundaries to man’s creativity, so there are manmade chemicals beyond the liver’s ability to disintegrate. To immobilize and hide them, the liver coats them with fat and water and stores them.

 

Heavy metal toxins, aluminum, lead, and mercury, from lipstick, anti-per spirants, vaccines, and pharmaceuticals, when absorbed, are stored in more fat and water. 

 

By-products of the petroleum industry in plastics, cosmetics, and shampoos are coated in fat and water and stored.

 

The result is an accumulation of fat and water in upper arms, thighs, and the belly.

 

 

THINK YOU’RE HEALTHY?  YOU’RE TOXIC

 

Fat buildup. Water Retention.  Fat Stomachs.

 

80% of us are overweight; 31% meet the criteria for “obese.”

 

We spend over $75,000,000,000 (billion) a year on weight–related diseases.

 

No matter how good you think your health is, toxins are part of your reality. Because of toxin buildup internal organs are sluggish and unable to function, and disease becomes part of life.

 

 

4 TIPS FOR FIGHTING TOXINS

 

  • Become aware of cleaning products for house, and clothes.  Chlorine is a poison, so investigate natural cleaning and “green” laundry options. Use vinegar in a spray bottle, a non-toxic sanitizer/cleaner.

 

  • Be aware of ingredients in personal care products. If you can’t read the name, it’s a toxic chemical.

 

Anti-per spirants contain heavy metal aluminum. Shampoos contain ingredients in auto anti-freeze.

 

  • Eat Food, Whole Food, with natural packaging. Processed food has little or no nutrition, and many toxins.

 

  • Eat food in its natural state. 

 

Read the labels on Twinkies, Cool-Whip, Sara Lee’s, Soft & Smooth Whole Grain White Bread. (white bread, with the whole part of the wheat kernel removed, can be called whole grain?)

 

More than 5 ingredients=frankenfood, not real food. Avoid.

SHOULD YOU CLEANSE TOXINS?

 

You can undertake a “cleanse,” to cooperate with your body. Some cleansing products on the market, recommend no solid food while cleansing.  “Fasting” should be with a physician’s guidance because our bodies, with today’s fast-paced lifestyle, need balanced fuel: carbohydrates, fat, and protein.

 

MUSCLE NEEDS HIGH-QUALITY PROTEIN

 

  1. No solid food for many days won’t give the body fuel it needs to build and maintain lean muscle tissue.  Support muscle growth and maintenance with ample high-quality protein.  Your heart is a lean muscle.

 

  1. Drink water, preferably filtered, to flush toxins.  No little plastic bottles, please, no chlorine, at least 100 oz. a day.  

 

To flush toxins your body needs plenty of water, not high-energy caffeine drinks. Energy drinks give you energy by pulling from the body and depleting the body’s reservoir.

 

 

BEGINNING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

 

Take the few steps above. Become aware of toxins in your world, and take small steps to minimize impact.

 

As they’re flushed, fat and excess water will be released, and you will feel more energetic than in years. Your fat stomach will begin to shrink.

Built-in systems seek balance in your body. When you cooperate natural good health, your birthright becomes an easy companion.
