Weight loss plans to detox your body
Toxins are a universal problem. They enter our system through pesticides, chemicals in water, pollutants in the air, personal care products, perfumes, soaps, shampoos, fresh paints, furniture polish, and drugs. But, the effects of these toxins on each of us vary widely. There are foods that help detoxify from within. Read this article to find out more.
How do toxins affect body weight?
Toxins can be acute or chronic depending on the circumstances, dose, and length of exposure. For instance, if a person eats poorly, travels extensively, leads a stressed life, suffers from toxic overload and does not exercise (due to lack of time), he will get more easily affected by these pollutants, than a person who chooses to eat sensibly and live healthily.
A toxic overload prevents you from losing weight as toxins inhibit thyroid function. In other words, toxins lower your metabolism, reduce your burn rate (inhibit the function of mitochondria) and throw your hormones out of balance. A hormonal imbalance results in weight gain. All this can wreak havoc with your metabolism and your mind. So, it is important to include foods that help detoxify in your diet plan.
