GENERAL INTEREST: DETOXING SYNTHETIC CHEMICALS FROM YOUR BODY
______________
Should you splurge on a purge?
It promises great benefits, but can a detox deliver?
“It is important not to throw the baby out with the (detoxifying) bathwater. There is an honorable tradition of detox which goes back thousands of years, incorporated into health and religious rituals as a path to spiritual and bodily well-being. And today, many swear by its benefits. The theory is that toxins such as pollution, pesticides and food additives build up in the body. This causes health problems such as weight gain, cellulite, headaches, bloating and fatigue. Detoxing, it is claimed, helps to remove these toxins, producing weight loss, healthy skin and a sense of well-being.”
