As you’ve already known the true facts that toxins could literally kill you while they stay inside your body, the next thing that you might want to know is how your body could “still” fight against them with the way they function vitally inside out. In this second part of 3 Day Detox intro series, see how you could assess whether or not your top vital organs are working well enough to keep you energized along the way.
Natural body detox – Vital organs’ roles to detoxification system
You may start to get to know your liver. The liver plays its own vital role as it is the largest organ inside the body. It’s situated just beneath the diaphragm, on the right side of the abdominal cavity where it is responsible for maintaining optimal blood glucose levels repository for vitamins and minerals. Also, the liver plays instrumental in controlling and breaking down the fats, filtering harmful toxins from the bloodstream while it converts ammonia into urea as its natural detoxification system.
Next off are the lungs. The lungs are absolutely the master when it comes to respiration. Located in the chest region, they too play pivotal role in body’s detox system by assisting it to eliminate toxins and waste after the lungs absorbed the body’s different metabolic activities. Carbon dioxide for instance is a waste by-product which should be expelled out from the body and the lungs help release carbon dioxide while you breathe (exhale) and other forms of natural body activities. Thus, lungs simply detoxify the body the more it releases these unwanted air carried toxins. Ultimately, one major control that people like you could do to help ensure the lungs’ activity is quitting smoking because its function lowers nearly 2% per year for smokers while non-smokers do get affected as well by 1%.
Another largest external organ is the skin which helps detoxify the body by expelling wastes through its surface. The skin, known as the dermis aids the main organs in its natural detox system by excreting surplus and wastes such as salt and in fluid form as you sweat. Also, the best thing about skin’s detoxifying system is expelling at most 2 pounds of buildup everyday from the body.
Two last detoxifying organs are the colon and the kidneys. The colon is responsible for absorbing water and nutrients that’s coming from the food you eat then therefore eliminates wastes in the form of feces. While it consists of the large intestine, rectum and anus, the colon automatically discards unwanted and toxic substances after the absorption process from the intestines down the anus part. Thus, when the colon malfunctions, you’ll start to feel constipated or experience days without eliminating feces that’s resulting to bodily odors due to increase of toxins. Ultimately, when regularly eating food that’s high in cholesterol resulting to more waste buildup, you’re already weakening your natural body detox program that leads to much severe problems including colon disease and obesity. On the other hand, kidneys control the body’s detoxification by regulating purity and chemical balance in the blood. It extracts residual by-products and waste water from the blood and therefore producing urine to eliminate toxins in the body.
To help maintain these organs’ respective activities, what you can do to start a healthy routine is by watching the food you eat, giving yourself ample rest and exercise and also by drinking lots of purified water. This way, you can naturally support your body to stay stronger and detoxify oneself without even taking medications.
