What is detox and why do we need it?

Another popular topic concerning the stomach, but also the overall health of the body, is detoxification. Yes, already known to everyone, but still in doubt how effective it is. Let us introduce you in this article.

What is detox?

Detoxification is a process in which, thanks to intake of certain foods and deprivation of other temptations, we throw out excess and even poisonous toxins from our organism. In other words, changing our way of life.

We are already well aware that not every food is useful and not every food brings us the much-needed nutrients to nourish and strengthen our organism. It is desirable to limit ourselves from the intake of such foods, no matter how tempting they are. We need to be disciplined when it comes to the health of our stomach and our organs in general.

There are other causes of toxins in our body and these are dirty air, smoking, intake of large amounts of alcohol and carbonated drinks, drugs and antibiotics. Our bodies also contain a number of chemicals, metals, dyes and preservatives that we must get rid of at all costs.

Oversaturating our body with such harmful toxins, metals and other substances leads to a weakening of our immune system, which in turn makes us susceptible to a number of diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cholesterol, cancer and weight gain .
