Toxins, Liver Damage, and the Need for Liver Cleansing Treatments
In light of today’s advanced technological age, the level of toxins the body ingests on a day-to-day basis runs higher than ever before. While the body, particularly the liver, does a good job at expelling toxins, a certain degree of build-up can be expected over time.
Toxins pose a threat at most every point where the body meets the external environment. Air, food and water exist as a just a few of the areas where toxins gain access.
As the liver acts as one of the body’s primary “cleaners,” keeping this organ in top shape goes a long way towards maintaining optimal health. In this respect, regular liver cleansing treatments support, protect and strengthen the liver’s ability to keep toxin build-up at a minimum.
Toxin Sources
Many toxins are found in water.
Toxins exist within most every facet of daily life. Some of the more commonly known sources include:
- Water – contaminants, prescription medication residues
- Processed foods – chemicals and additives
- Pesticides – poisons in the food
- Household cleaners – poisons (bleach, ammonia)
- Pollution – car exhaust, second-hand cigarette smoke, manufacturing plants
Considering how fast-paced American culture has become as a whole, fast food dietary habits and the toxins contained therein constitute a large portion of a person’s daily intake, according to the Harvard School of Public Health. Add to this the daily exposures to pollution, water and household chemicals and it’s easy to see how the body has no choice but to store-up excess toxin materials when the liver can’t keep up.
The Liver’s Role in the Body
Along with the skin, kidneys and intestinal tract, the liver plays a critical role in detoxifying the body. According to Cornell University, many toxins have a fat-soluble chemical make-up, meaning they can only be dissolved in oily or fat-based solutions. The liver’s role in this process works to convert toxic materials into water-soluble forms so the body can excrete them.
Other essential liver functions include:
- Detoxifying the blood
- Converting food into energy
- Maintaining a balance of glucose, fats and amino acids in the bloodstream
- Maintaining the body’s hormonal balance
In effect, regular living cleansing treatments work to keep the body in top working condition.
Toxic Hepatitis
During the course of breaking down toxic materials, the liver produces byproducts along the way. Over the years, these byproducts can actually damage liver cells to the point where areas of the liver become inflamed, according to the Mayo Clinic. After a certain point, irreparable damage develops in spite of the liver’s attempts to regenerate damaged cells. Liver cleansing treatments reduce the risk of inflammation and support the liver’s regenerative processes.
The Benefits of Regular Liver Cleansing Treatments
Considering the liver’s role in maintaining core essential bodily functions, any degree of impairment may be reflected in any number of ailments and chronic conditions, some of which include:
- Fatigue
- Recurring headaches
- Skin problems
- Constipation
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Memory problems
- Joint problems
- Heart disease
- Cancer
- Diabetes
In effect, an overworked liver coupled with ongoing toxin build-up in the body weaken the body’s overall health and ability to protect itself from disease. Ultimately, regular liver cleansing treatments support the health of every cell in the body while protecting the liver’s ability to perform at its best.
How Detox Treatments Can Help Relieve Menopausal Symptoms
Menopause can affect different women in different ways, with some undergoing a smooth transition while others experience extremely uncomfortable symptoms that all but diminish their quality of life. The hormonal changes taking place during menopause can offset any number of bodily systems causing ongoing discomfort and frustration. During this time, any extraneous substances capable of offsetting an already sensitive chemical system only work to aggravate uncomfortable menopause symptoms. Toxins in the air, in the food, in the water as well as those brought on by stress can greatly increase the severity of menopause symptoms a woman experiences. Detox treatments offer healthy, drug-free methods of helping the body clear itself of toxic materials. These effects give a woman's body a fighting chance at managing the hormonal changes taking place during menopause. Hormonal Changes during Menopause As a woman's reproductive system runs out of eggs, hormonal fluctuations start to take shape in response to a lack ....
Why Detoxing Should be Top On Your To-Do List
With the advent of processed foods, fast foods and preservatives, global food supplies have taken on more chemicals than ever before. According to the U. S. National Library of Medicine, the amount of xenobiotics, such as metals and synthetic chemicals, has seen exponential increases over the past century. Human exposures to scores of PBTs, also known as persistent bioaccumulative toxicants are the unfortunate result. The good news is the body is well equipped to deal with a reasonable amount of toxins from day-to-day. The bad news is, the average American consumes way more food-based toxins than the body can handle. This over-consumption of toxins has resulted in a range of adverse health effects that become the often-mentioned diseases and health problems of today. Toxic chemicals from the environment and in the food supplies will inevitably accumulate inside the body unless detoxing becomes a routine part of a person’s life. What are Toxins? In general ....
Daily Habits for Healthy Detox
The human body has an amazing capacity for clearing out the toxins it encounters on a daily basis. According to the University of Hawaii, toxins found in the environment continue to grow in number and mass with each passing year. Likewise, food supplies undergo a series of preparation and processing stages that employ a wide range of chemicals not meant to be consumed by the body on a regular basis. That being said, a person can still expect to live a relatively healthy existence provided the amount of toxins ingested doesn’t exceed the body’s detoxification capacities. Unfortunately, this is often not the case within today’s fast-paced, “can-do” culture. Fast foods, congested cities and high stress levels continue to challenge the body’s ability to maintain a healthy equilibrium. Daily habits for healthy detox can go a long way towards helping the body along in its efforts to prevent toxin build-up from everyday exposures. Water ....
6 Fun Ways to Detox Naturally
American culture places a high value on grooming and cleanliness in general. Maintaining a certain degree of “freshness” is expected in everyday society. Unfortunately, the importance of keeping the outside of the body clean has yet to apply for the body’s interior landscape.

According to the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine & Health Sciences, eliminating toxin build-up in the body is the best way to improve a person’s overall health. Detoxification practices can be extensive in terms of fasting and ingesting any number of cleansing agents. Detox can also become a fun part of most anyone’s daily or monthly routine. Here are six fun ways to detox naturally: 1. Reset the Body’s Balance Whole and cleansing foods provide the richest set of nutrients for the body and also helps its ....
