Sources of Body Toxicity
An exotoxin is generally any one of tens of thousands of agricultural, industrial or household chemicals that we’re exposed to on a fairly regular basis in our everyday life. To some degree, we are able to restrict and restrain our exposure to these environmental toxins. The types of products we buy is one domain of our life where we can be in almost complete control. Increasingly more shops are offering high quality cleaning and health care products that are free of toxins.
Endotoxins are much more tricky to control. These are the by-products of regular metabolic processes that occur in our body. An endotoxin can be a bodily waste product, anti-bodies our body makes to fight against infection or disease, excess hormones and cellular material whose constituents need to be eliminated.
Many people who live in first-world societies today tolerate at least some degree of toxic overload. Even though our body is fitted to process the detoxification and elimination of endotoxins, the body is not able to deal with the increasing quantity of exotoxins that we consume through our food, beverages, air, household products and personal care products. Despite our most fervent attempt to avoid environmental toxins, our power to do so is very troublesome. The truth is, we are exposed to a monumental number and diversity of toxic chemicals that are totally foreign, if not wholly damaging, to our body. Simplistic ways we can trim our exposure to toxins is to buy 100% natural personal care and cleaning products, and to always choose organic produce when accessible.
As well as minimizing our exposure to dietary and environmental toxins, there is a great deal we can do toward assisting the body’s normal detoxification processes. Doing a seasonal detox program will purify your body and do much to minimize the physical burden on your body.
