General concepts about detox
Detox, derived from "Detoxication", is the removal of poisons and toxins of biological origin from the body by natural or artificial means. Simply put, it is getting rid of all the unnecessary and harmful things that accumulate in our body at the cellular level, coming from the outside. Sources of poisons around us: poor quality food with pesticides, food preservatives, food additives and dyes; contaminated water; smoking and alcohol consumption; polluted atmosphere and bad ecology; hypodynamia, lack of sleep and constant stress; viral infections.
When a large number of toxins accumulate in the body, there is a failure in the work of organs and systems, metabolic processes are disturbed. It is also possible to have intestinal problems, overweight and nervous disorders, joint pain and other dangerous diseases of vital organs may occur.
However, our body is a unique "mechanism" capable of self-cleaning from harmful toxins. The main guards in the fight against poisons are the liver and kidneys. These important organs in a healthy person are fully functional and get rid of accumulated toxins on their own. But sometimes the body needs help in this fight. The human body simply can not deal with it, because it is impossible to completely eliminate harmful factors from your life. For this purpose, and there are many ways of artificial detoxification.
One of the most proven ways to cleanse the body - spa detox programs, compiled by specialists with many years of experience in medicine and conducted under their careful supervision.
