Detox series. Natural remedies.

 

Detoxification, or detox, is the natural, ongoing process of neutralizing and eliminating potentially harmful compounds (called toxins) from the body. Toxins can include perfume, alcohol, cigarette smoke, pesticides, mercury, food additives, oral contraceptives, and cleaning supplies. Toxins are transformed chemically to less harmful compounds that can be excreted via stools or urine. Our bodies are able to detoxify chemicals without help. However, many experts believe that the enormous number of chemicals we ingest daily through food, water, and the environment can accumulate. The build-up, called the toxic burden or body burden, can overwhelm the body's capacity to detoxify and may lead to hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiency, and inefficient metabolism. Chemicals found in processed foods and commercially grown fruits, vegetables and meat can have a detrimental effect on out health. We can not process chemical additives into nutrients that the body can utilize, so they aren’t able to simply pass through our system. Only water and cellulose can do that. Therefore, these chemicals get absorbed for an indefinite period of time, delaying digestion and adding extra toxins to our blood, tissues and organs, and extra pounds to our weight.
Let’s look at products which most of us are consuming today.

Processed food

- Processed foods contain refined sugar, extra salt and other flavor enhancers.
- Harmful chemicals are added to foods to keep them “fresh’ longer.
- To make up for the loss of nutrients during processing, synthetic vitamins and minerals are added. These may appear healthy, but our bodies are not built to process synthetic nutrients.

Sugar

One of refined sugar's major drawbacks is that it raises the insulin level, which inhibits the release of growth hormones, which in turn depresses the immune system, and lead to disease. This is not something you want to take place if you want to avoid disease.
Here is a list of some ways sugar can affect your health: - can suppress the immune system.
- can increase total cholesterol.
- can cause a decrease in insulin sensitivity.
- can speed the aging process, causing wrinkles and grey hair.
- can cause a decrease in insulin sensitivity.
- causes food allergies.
- can contribute to eczema in children.
- can cause headaches, including migraines.
- increases bacterial fermentation in the colon.
- can produce an acidic stomach.

Aspartame

Millions of people guzzle soft drinks sweetened with aspartame, a man made chemical sweetener. This compound is sold under the traditional name of Nutrasweet or Equal. This chemical ingredient is found in all kinds of diet foods, in toothpaste, and sprinkled out of small packets with tea and coffee. It is sold world wide.
Aspartame is considered to be abut 200 times as sweet as sugar. It is calorie free and when ingested and metabolized, it breaks down into three substances:
- phenylalanine (50%) one of the amino acids needed for the production of neurotransmitters essential to brain function. While this may sound OK, it is not. People with PKU (phenylketonuria) are missing the enzymes to break down this amino acid and may end up with an excess that causes brain damage. For susceptible people, phenylalanine will become neurotoxic and may cause seizures.
- aspartic acid (40%) which can cause brain damage.
- methanol (10%) an alcohol which turns into formaldehyde, a known toxic substance.It is  used, among other things, as an embalming fluid.

The ideal diet would not be ideal if it wasn't a little "sweet" at times. After reading about all the dengers of artificial sweeteners and sugar, you mast be wondering what is that you can safely use as alternative.
Stevia - is a shrub native to Pery and Paraguay, which has been used for over 1500 years by the native indians to sweeten their yerba mate an dother stimulant beverages. Stevioside, the main ingredient in stevia, is virtualy calorie-free and hundreds of times sweeter than table sugar. Stevia is also nourishes the pancreas and does not raise blood glucose levels, making it not just safe for diabetics but actually beneficial.
Since there are no calories or carbohydrates, stevia is an exelent weight loss aid.
Stevia has been reported to help minimize hanger sensations, cravings for sweets or fatty foods, aid in digestion, decrease hypertension without effecting normal blood preasure, stabilize blood glucose levels, shorten recovery times from cold and flu and aids in addictions to tobacco and alcohol. When used in toothpaste or mouthwash, cavities and gum disease are redused due to its antibacterial properties.

Margarine

You probably heard the old debate of “ Which is better for you, butter or margarine?” When you consider the fact that margarine is nothing more than “plastic butter”, the answer seems to be the quite obvious. The reason why margarine called “plastic butter” is because a hydrogenated fat molecule from margarine inspected under a microscope looks the same as plastic molecule.
Margarine is nothing more than hydrogenated (process of hardening) vegetable oil. Hydrogenation ruins the nutritional value of the oil. Studies show that the “supposedly safe cis-fatty acids in margarine go through a transformation process. According to experts the transformation of cis- to trans-fatty acids in margarine may be as high as 40%”. The increased consumption of margarine is a huge contributor to our poor health, as it escalates the overall level of toxins in the body.
