Naturally, the liver is the organ in the body responsible for detoxification. Still does not mean less care should be given to the body just because the liver is doing its job.
Detoxification is the expulsion of harmful substances from your cells and out of your body. When we say heaven is the goal, detoxification should be a goal too as good health is “heaven on earth”.
The body organs play a huge role in detoxification, the nostrils contain hair and mucous lining that filters air and trap dirt respectively. Here is why you are advised to clean your nostrils rather than poking them.
Detoxifying could help start the natural detoxification process in your body or better still, help your organ perform its roles better. For instance, exercising helps strengthen your lungs, keeps your body moving and increases blood circulation.
More circulation of blood means nutrients, and enzymes required for various body metabolism and oxygen gets to your organs faster as blood is a transportation medium in the body.
Detoxification gives you a clearer head, but lack of oxygen to the brain or more carbon monoxide to the brain could lead to cerebral hypoxia with symptoms such as disorientation, memory loss, inability to focus and poor judgement.
Opting for detoxification helps you make better life choices. Detoxification is not about taking these over-the-counter detox teas and drugs, rather, it is about improving lifestyle choices daily that will help your body perform its natural processes or prevent your organs from overworking themselves or shutting down.
Making better lifestyle decisions for detoxification means you choose to sleep well, eat a proper diet, reduce stress and quit smoking.
Detoxing helps boost your immune system. For instance, Vitamin C is not produced by the body nor can your body store it but Vitamin C is required by the body as it is an antioxidant.
Antioxidants help protect your cells from free radicals that can easily bind with enzymes in your cells preventing normal metabolism, thus boosting your immune system. Thus, replacing your meals with nutrient-packed food helps refuel your body.
A strengthened immune system makes you unsusceptible to certain diseases.
Better behavioural and lifestyles pattern is all the work you need to put into enhancing your body’s detoxification processes.
By behavioural we have instances such as sticking to one sexual partner or the use of condoms as a preventive method as sexually transmitted diseases leave you immunocompromised. This certainly affects the usual processes in the body.
Again, healthy life is heaven on earth.
