Our organism is exposed to many pollutants. Exhaust fumes and fine dust pollute the air, vegetables and fruit may contain residues of heavy metals or pesticides. Food and cleaning products as well as cosmetics contain preservatives, fragrances, dyes and many other additives. In addition, we often have a lot of stress, eat an unhealthy diet, consume alcohol or cigarettes and exercise too little. Also mold toxins, chemicals in textiles (clothing, carpets) or drugs must be eliminated from the body.
Our body has a sophisticated system to get rid of toxins. In our body, the elimination of harmful substances takes place mainly through the liver and kidney, but the gall bladder, intestines, skin, lungs and lymphatic system are also involved. The liver plays the central role in this process. It breaks down harmful metabolic products or pollutants supplied from outside, converts them into non-toxic substances, makes them water-soluble and feeds them to the excretion via the urethra or the intestine.
We can do a lot to help our body successfully master this task.
We would like to start from the inside, with the intestines. Together with its countless nerve cells and neurons, as well as an incredible number of bacteria, germs and hormone receptors, it is one of the centres of our existence.
