Why do we need to detox?

There are many organs inside the human body, and the tissue structure is very complex. In addition, the circulatory system in the body is constantly working, which will produce toxic substances. These substances will cause harm to physical health. At the same time, these toxins are difficult to eliminate from the body and will slowly accumulate in the body, which will have a very adverse effect on the body. Let's take a look at why detoxification is necessary? I hope everyone can understand it.

Detoxification, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, refers to the elimination of waste from the body. The human body has a complete detoxification and excretion system. If this system is normal, the toxins in the body can be excreted normally, and there is no need for additional detoxification.

During the metabolic process of digestion and absorption, nutrients not only provide energy but also continuously produce waste. For example, ammonia, amines, and collagen can be produced during the decomposition of protein; the decomposition of fat in the body will produce ester peroxides, and sugar metabolism will produce some waste. If these wastes cannot be excreted from the body in time, they will be poisonous to the human body.

Most of the so-called toxins in the body are absorbed into the body from food and air through the digestive tract, respiratory tract, skin, etc., such as heavy metals, pesticides, chemical raw materials, polluted air and water, etc. The human body can detoxify itself. Although the human body is surrounded by toxins inside and outside, humans have developed powerful detoxification and excretion capabilities during the long process of evolution.

For example, the liver is an important organ for detoxification. Toxic substances in the blood are converted into non-toxic or low-toxic substances after a series of chemical reactions in the liver. The kidneys are also an important organ for detoxification of the body. Most of the toxins produced in the body and entering from outside the body are dissolved in the urine and excreted from the body through the kidneys. In addition, the skin can also excrete some toxins through sweating, while the toxins produced by bacterial corruption in the large intestine are excreted through normal bowel movements.

What are the effects of detoxification?

We are constantly ingesting toxic substances. If these toxins are not excreted from the body in time, they will pose a threat to our health.

1. Detoxification can improve our immunity and make our body healthier;

2. Detoxification can soften and purify blood vessels;

3. Detoxification can promote metabolism and reduce the burden on other excretory organs;

4. Detoxification can help us lose weight and make our skin rosy and shiny, thus helping us get rid of acne.
