What actually is DETOX and why do we need it?
I’ll try to explain in a very simple example (although a bit manly one, but hitting the nail right on the head). Imagine a car that has seen its best years and the mileage isn’t the lowest either. This car is our body. The car needs to be checked after some kilometers to keep going. Within the check-up, the AC gets cleaned (this could symbolize fresh breath), exhaust (stool), oil filter (liver), water filter (kidneys), piping (intestines). If you take good care of your car regularly and pump quality fuel in (food), it’ll be in the best shape possible longer.
We can consider detox as a body check-up, when we intentionally get rid of all the toxins that naturally make their way into the body throughout our life. Unfortunately, we live in an era full of toxins, maybe even without realizing it, but there’s no way to avoid it. Even eating exotic food, cuddling our beloved pets or inhaling various gases.
The ideal body to help us keep up with our lifestyles: take in high quality nutrition and have functioning organs to eliminate and process the junk in our systems.
