Today more than ever, the human body is inundated with harmful toxins from countless sources. External toxins such as pesticides, industrial pollutants, and the harsh chemicals used in many household cleaning agents and personal care products have been steadily making their way into our air, water and food. These toxic substances can enter the body, eventually taking up residence in its organs and tissues. Over time this buildup of toxins can lead to significant and lasting health problems.
In addition to external toxins, there are internal toxins that originate inside the body. While some are the byproducts of everyday cell function, many are the result of unhealthy eating habits. Processed foods laden with preservatives lack the natural enzymes and nutrients that aid digestion. This in turn can inhibit the digestive process, allowing undigested food to ferment in the intestines and colon and become toxic.
To rid itself of its toxic burden, the body uses a combination of organs and organ systems collectively dubbed the seven channels of elimination: the liver, lungs, lymphatic system, kidneys, skin blood and bowel {or colon}. Each works together to filter and eliminate toxic substances and waste, but because of the increasing number of toxins to which our bodies are exposed daily, those channels are often overwhelmed. We will examine the role of each organ or organ system and its task{s} in the overall cleansing and detoxification process in the days ahead.1
