DETOXIFICATION


From the food we eat, the pollutants in the air that we breath, the water we drink, the products that we put on our bodies, to the stresses of our every day life and the things we touch - we add toxins to our bodies. Today, Detoxification is as essential to well-being as a good diet and exercise. Detoxification supports the body's natural ability to cleanse and restore itself. Over time, toxins can build up and overwhelm the body, weakening the immune system. This leads to Poor Digestion, Fatigue, Stress, Skin Breakouts, Joint Stiffness, Weight Gain or Loss and Premature Aging.

Did you know that according to a 2002 USDA study, the average American consumes per year - 150 lbs sugar, 566 cans of soda (equivalent is 52 tsp sugar per day), 45 large bags of potato chips, 120 orders of french fries, 190 candy bars, 120 pastries and 150 slices of pizza? This is an extraordinary increase of an average of 105.2% consumption of junk food over a similar USDA 1981 study. Did you also know that over an average lifetime we consume over 100 tons of food. Now if you consider that an average elephant weighs in at around 5 tons, then over our lifetime we consume the equivalent of 20 elephants and our Gastro-Intestinal Tract has an enormous task at hand. Therefore it is crucial, critical for our health to "keep things moving" in a healthy manner. Couple our eating habits with all of the external pollutants and you know why it is important for us all to detox on a regular basis.
