What are the harms of toxins to the body

I wonder how much everyone knows about the harm that toxins can do to the body. In life, we always encounter various toxins. Some toxins can be easily eliminated by our body, while some toxins cannot be eliminated by our body, which may be life-threatening. So, in general, what are the harmful effects of toxins on the body?

1. Affect the circulation of qi and blood

If toxins cannot be excreted from the body in time and are reabsorbed by the body, they will cause human poisoning and trigger a variety of diseases. Once toxins are formed in the body, they can block the flow of Qi and hinder the normal flow of blood, causing the blood circulation in the body to slow down and thus form blood stasis. Some people in life have a dark complexion and purple lips, which are all manifestations of blood stasis in the body. Under the influence of these toxins, mild symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath, etc., while severe cases may develop vascular sclerosis, causing hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperviscosity, coronary heart disease, cerebral thrombosis and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

2. Affect metabolic balance

If a large amount of toxins are retained in the body and cannot be excreted, it may lead to an imbalance in the body's energy metabolism and excessive heat production. We should know that too much heat will generate fire and deplete yin essence. Normally, people experience symptoms such as itchy and dry skin, hard stools, and pimples on the face, which are caused by metabolic imbalance.

3. Affecting the functions of internal organs

When toxins enter the body, they will destroy the normal functions of the human organs and cause systemic or local pathological changes. The essence in the kidneys of normal and healthy people has the ability to regulate the yin and yang of the whole body. Once toxins enter the kidneys, they will cause kidney deficiency, leading to imbalance of yin and yang in the body, and the occurrence of yin and yang decline or excess. If Yin is deficient, Fire will be strong, and people will have symptoms such as dry skin, itching, dry stool, dry mouth and tongue; while Yang deficiency will cause cold, and people will have symptoms such as dull complexion, cold limbs, and loose stools.

4. Affect mental state

As the saying goes: "All viruses can cause harm to the human body, no matter what kind of virus it is, no matter whether the toxin is invaded from the outside or generated from the inside. Modern medicine believes that certain poisons act on the central nervous system and endocrine system of the human body, which will not only affect people's mental state, cause insomnia, mental disorder, slow thinking, but also lead to emotional changes, such as indifference, depression, anxiety and irritability.

5. Affects beauty and skin care

Facial pigmentation and skin aging can affect beauty. The toxins in the body are one of the important factors that lead to skin problems. Various toxins can act on the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, adrenal axis and other parts, leading to an increase in corticosteroids. Produce age spots, chloasma, etc. Moreover, as mentioned above. Toxins can also promote the production of free radicals. This is one of the important reasons for increased facial wrinkles, skin aging and impediment to beauty.

6. Accelerate human aging

The causes of human aging are nothing more than imbalance of qi and blood, imbalance of yin and yang, and dysfunction of internal organs. The body's ability to coordinate the balance of yin and yang and the functions of the internal organs will gradually weaken with age. If people are exposed to external and internal toxins for a long time, the imbalance of yin and yang will be accelerated, affecting the absorption and transformation of nutrients and the excretion of toxins, damaging the internal organ tissues and causing their functions to decline, which will cause the body to age prematurely.

Toxins sound like a scary thing, but once we understand and master them, everyone will be aware of them and take preventive measures. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone should not blindly fear and reject toxins, but look at the problem dialectically and actively solve the problem. If you encounter life-threatening toxins, it is best to stay away from them or seek medical attention immediately.
