Detoxification starts in your liver. While it's a complicated process, your liver essentially does this in two phases. First, it converts toxic substances to highly reactive metabolites and then excretes these toxins. Your kidneys, lungs, and even gut also play a role in detoxification.Toxins can impact these organs both acutely and cumulatively. More dangerous are the persistent, low-grade toxins such as residue you consume regularly on conventionally grown fruits and vegetables. Reactions aren't immediate, and so you might not see the connection between chronic low-grade toxicity and struggle with weight loss.The latest statistics show that more than 2 in 3 American adults are overweight or obese. Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers, many of which are preventable. Even modest weight loss, such as 5 to 10 percent of your total body weight, can improve your self-esteem as well as various health factors including blood pressure, blood cholesterol, and blood sugar.Whereas a healthy body can optimally detoxify, so many things we confront daily - the food we eat, the air we breathe, and prescription drugs - can make those toxins accumulate, overwhelming your body's defenses.That's where a detoxification plan can possibly help. Among its benefits, research shows the right one can impact weight loss directly as well as reduce factors that contribute to weight gain including chronic inflammation.Effective detoxification to lose weight and improve overall health demands reducing or eliminating what creates a toxic load, but it also requires giving your body everything it requires to optimally detoxify. Food becomes the foremost way to do that. After all, we detoxify constantly, and we eat several times daily. Incorporating helpful nutrients may help boost weight loss, improve body composition, and better overall health. The Basic Weight Loss Bundle is an introductory bundle for those looking to get started in moving their overall health in the right direction.Cleanse Your Body Naturally With FoodA healthy diet is the most important way to detoxify. First, remove foods that interfere with detoxification or make you more toxic. Among them include fructose, which is found in soda (as high-fructose corn syrup or HFCS) but also in fruit juices and commercial juice cleanses.Research shows this simple sugar can become a key contributor to chronic diseases including obesity. Fructose ramps up problems including chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, which both contribute to obesity.
