Hey there viewers!
Do you not feel vibrant?
Are there days when you are irritated and struggling to find energy?
If you answered yes to these questions, your body may be suffering from toxin overload.
The air you breathe, the water you drink and the
food you eat all have toxins that affect your body’s functioning.
In today’s video, we will tell you about the warning
signs that your body is overloaded with toxins.
These signs can be anything from acne, body odor and hair loss.
Stay tuned to find out about more such signs.
Brain Fog:
Processed food, frequently eating out,
or binging on fast food has more salt, sugar and chemicals than you think.
This can cause an accumulation of toxins in your body.
High level toxins lead to confusion, memory lapses, lack of concentration and dizziness.
They dry up the vitamins and minerals required by your body,
making you feel out of place, confused and lost.
MSG and artificial sweeteners found in these foods are the worst toxins that affect your brain.
Constant Fatigue:
This is another common symptom.
Physical energy is produced inside your cells by mitochondria,
often nicknamed your “energy factories”.
Your cells can produce high energy only if they have a healthy,
clean diet of pure water and oxygen.
But the presence of toxins in your body prevents the healthy
production of energy at the cellular level.
This is because they damage the DNA and the mitochondria,
resulting in impaired ability to produce energy for the body and you feeling tired all the time.
Chemical Sensitivities:
Chemical sensitivity is when your body becomes sensitive
to a chemical toxin and reacts immediately.
This is due to the toxic build-up in your body.
It is simply your body’s way of saying “I’ve had enough.”
These toxins can be from any of the products like auto exhaust, pesticides,
tobacco smoke, synthetic perfumes, to other artificially-scented products.
Remember that many manufacturers of products that contain fragrance, such as laundry detergents
and hand soaps, do not need to list the majority of their chemical ingredients.
So you might want to stay clear of those if you have chemical sensitivity.
Insomnia:
A damaged liver can lead to a toxin buildup in your body.
This can cause insomnia because your liver affects the level of histamine in the brain.
Histamine regulates your sleep-wake cycles.
If its levels are off, it could lead to insomnia.
People with liver damage also tend to suffer from obesity,
hypertension and diabetes, all of which list insomnia as a symptom.
Alcohol is a toxin produced when yeast turns sugars into energy and
excretes alcohol and carbon dioxide as a waste product.
Too much alcohol will damage your liver, as well as the brain and kidneys, over time.
Skin Problems:
Acne and rashes indicate a toxin overload in your body.
Acne, in particular can be linked to toxins in your food or skin care products.
Puffy eyes and outbreaks of eczema or psoriasis
can also be signs that your body has crossed its toxicity limit.
Topical treatment will not help you if the cause
of your skin problem is due to excessive toxins in the body.
In such cases, detoxification is the only way out.
But detoxification is often accompanied by emerging rashes and other skin problems,
especially if many toxins are released.
These effects will dissipate when the process is complete
and should not be confused with the problem worsening.
Bad Breath:
If you brush your teeth consistently, chew gum, use mouthwash, and swallow breath mints,
but still have bad breath, then you might have toxin overload.
Bad breath can mean that your liver is struggling
to get rid of the toxins in your body, causing a pileup.
The only way to get rid of bad breath due to toxins is tackle it from the source.
Another indication that your body may need a detox is a furry coating on the tongue,
which can also be the cause of bad breath.
Eating too much red meat can often leave bacterial
residue in the gut which can then ferment, also leading to bad breath.
Weight Gain:
Despite all the great workouts you are doing at the gym, if you still keep putting on pounds,
maybe there is something wrong with your hormones.
This problem with hormones has something to do with high level of toxins in your body.
A toxin like BPA can alter the way your body produces
insulin and even induces insulin resistance.
If insulin isn’t working correctly, your body will easily store fat and lead to weight gain.
Switching to a healthy organic diet and getting a thorough detox
can be very helpful if you want to counter weight gain through toxins.
Joint Pain and Muscle Soreness:
Usually, pain from physical activity is largely due to accumulated lactic acid in your tissues.
It subsides after a day or so.
When your body detoxifies, the built-up acid and pain goes away.
But if the pain refuses to go away, it is an indication that your natural
detox system is likely overloaded and acidic toxins are not getting flushed.
Joint pain can be an indicator of systemic inflammation, which is also toxin driven.
Constipation:
When your body is overloaded with toxins,
your intestines won’t function properly, making them incapable of removing toxins.
This causes the storage of harmful toxins within your body, leading to constipation.
If these toxins continue to stay in your system, they further the damage
and create problems like upset stomach, headaches, aches, pains, and tiredness.
Eating organic, limiting alcohol intake,
and drinking plenty of water should help with your constipation.
Eating foods rich in vitamins and minerals also strengthen your body and help eliminate toxins
Body Odor:
Another not-so-pleasant side effect of toxic build-up in your body is increased body odor.
The main way that toxins get excreted from inside your body is through the bowels and urination.
When these pathways become clogged by too many toxins, your sweat takes on an acidic foul smell.
An accumulation of toxins can produce different
gases and odors that while escaping your body can give out a bad odor.
Autoimmune Problems:
This happens if there are too many toxins in your tissues.
In other words, your immune system attacks your body.
Acute autoimmune issues can cause symptoms such as
sore joints and muscles, skin rashes and low grade fever.
Toxic heavy metals such as cadmium and mercury can trigger autoimmune reactions in your body.
Pesticides can also increase the risk
of autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
So if your immune system is going haywire, you may want to consider a detox.
Headaches:
Stress releases hormones into your bloodstream
in order to speed up or alter your body’s normal functions.
Your body normally filters these stress hormones out
of your blood stream after a stressful incident.
Stress over a long period of time can cause these hormones to build up in your system,
triggering headaches and even migraines.
The easiest way to treat these headaches is to find a dark,
quiet place to lie down and relax for a bit.
Finding healthy ways to deal with long term stress is important,
as it’s a contributing factor to things like heart disease and stroke.
Brittle Toenails:
Are you wondering how your toenails wrapped in comfy socks are affected by toxins?
It is due to gravity, which pulls the toxins down, affecting your toenails.
The toxins travel down, creating an environment for fungal growth on your toes.
The dark, warm covering of your sock and the toxins present will
add to the growth of fungus making your toenail brittle.
Using an antifungal cream would be the best option for this.
But going for a full-body detox is what would actually do the trick.
Have you or a friend of yours faced any of these symptoms and tried detoxing?
