WHAT MAKES YOUR BODY TOXIC?
Each year the average American consumes 150 lbs of sugar and 566 cans of soft drinks ("liquid candy") . According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, that is equal to "52 teaspoonfuls of added sugars per person per day." Can you imagine yourself sitting at the kitchen table gobbling down 52 teaspoons of white sugar – every single day? Well, that’s exactly what most of us are doing without even realizing it! Junk food consumption has increased drastically in the last few decades. Compared to 1981, in 2001 the average American consumed in one year: 45 large bags of potato chips - up 78%; 120 orders of French fries - up 130%; 190 candy bars - up 80%; 120 pastries or desserts - up 95%; 150 slices of pizza - up 143% What long-term effects may we expect from such progressive dietary degeneration? A shocking movie called Super Size Me documents precisely what physical and psychological changes take place when one consumes too much junk food. Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock decided to become a human guinea pig by eating three meals a day for 30 days at McDonald’s. The film centers around the impact this had on his health and life. Scores of cheeseburgers, hundreds of fries and dozens of chocolate shakes later, the formerly strapping 6-foot-2 New Yorker - who started out at a healthy 185 pounds - had packed on 25 pounds. But his supersized shape was the least of his problems. Within a few days of beginning his drive-through diet, Spurlock, 33, was vomiting out the window of his car, and doctors who examined him were shocked at how rapidly Spurlock's entire body deteriorated junk foods and soft drinks contain dangerous additives, chemicals, and many are laced with excitotoxins such as MSG and aspartame. Excitotoxins are "substances added to foods and beverages that literally stimulate neurons to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees." No one’s put it better than nutritionist, Carol Simontacchi, in her best-selling book The Crazy Makers: "Food industries want only to destroy our bodies and our brains, all in the name of profit."
Our health has become a victim of someone else’s profit. No wonder nearly half of the U.S. population has at least one chronic condition, and 60 million have more than one.
Our modern unhealthy diet and lifestyle will first have a devastating effect on the colon, before damaging other organs. This is where the saying "death begins in the colon". Understanding that our quality of life is determined by our daily choices, we have the power to improve our health and well-being quickly and dramatically. Good nutrition is a key factor, but our health depends not only on what nutrients we eat, but how much of those nutrients are absorbed and how well and regularly the body’s waste products are eliminate
Any cleansing program should begin in the colon, the last portion of the digestive system. The colon’s job is to compact the chime, absorb water, and receive B-vitamins that are produced by healthy intestinal bacteria. One of the most renowned nutrition experts in the world, Dr. Bernard Jensen, D.C., Ph.D., author of many popular health books, states; "In the 50 years I’ve spent helping people to overcome illness, disability and disease, it has become crystal clear that poor bowel management lies at the root of most people’s health problems. It is the bowel that invariably has to be cared for first before any effective healing can take place. We could actually compare the function of the colon in our bodies to a sewer system in a large city. Just imagine for a second what would happen if the sewers in our area became clogged by some debris. Undoubtedly, within a short time the whole neighborhood would be filled with filth and an unbearable stench. This is the same process that occurs in our bodies when the elimination system is not functioning properly. When the colon is clean and healthy, we experience an overall well-being. When it is congested with stagnant waste, poisons back up into the system and pollute the inner environment. This is called autointoxication or self-poisoning. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may be experiencing autointoxication (a process whereby you are poisoned by substances produced by your own body as a result of inadequate digestion and elimination); Allergy or intolerance to certain foods. Bad breath and foul-smelling gas and stools., constipation, diarrhea, sluggish elimination, irregular bowel movements, frequent congestion, colds, viruses, flatulence or gas and frequent intestinal disorders, frequent headaches for no apparent reason, general aches and pains that migrate from one place to another, intolerance to fatty foods, low energy; loss of vitality for no apparent reason, lower back pain, lowered resistance to infections, needing longer sleep time, pain in your liver or gall bladder, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), breast soreness, vaginal infections, skin problems; rashes, boils, acne. Every cell of our body is affected by self-poisoning. When the toxins accumulate in the nervous system, we feel irritable and depressed. We feel weak if they back up into the heart, bloated if they reach the stomach and our breath is foul if they reach the lungs. If the poisons try to escape through our skin, rashes and blotches develop, or we look pale and our skin appears wrinkly. If the toxins make it to the glands, we feel fatigued, lethargic, our sex drive may cease and we appear to look much older than our actual age. ~~What can we do?~~cut back on the junk, increase dietary fiber, water, and exercise!
