We are surrounded by toxins - from the air that we breathe, the food we consume, to the things we come in contact with. All of these have serious effects on the various organs of our body. Jacob Barber, a specialist in holistic medicine, tells us what measures we should take.
"We come in contact with pollution and radiation released by industrial activities, with household toxins in cleaning products, personal care, perfumes and cosmetics, with food toxins (food dyes, preservatives, flavors and artificial sweeteners, refined oils which in while being heated, generates free radicals). Even plastic products, aluminum doses and toys contain toxins that we get to swallow. The largest source of toxins comes from air pollution, which is above safety levels in all major cities, especially in Bucharest, "draws the attention of .Jacob Barber, a specialist in holistic medicine at Quantica 720. How do toxins get destroyed ? According to the specialist, they poison enzymes, so they do not work properly, destroy minerals in the body, causing bone weakness, injuring organs, damaging our DNA, increasing aging rate and degeneration, interfering with hormones, and causing imbalances. "Toxins induce, inhibit, imitate and block hormones. They actually affect the ability to detoxify, "says Mr. Jacob Barber.
Effects on the body
Respiratory system - toxins cause irritation, coughing, suffocation, chest pain.
The digestive system - causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.
Brain and spinal cord - causes headaches, dizziness, confusion, depression, memory loss.
Circulatory system - causes fatigue, weakness, frequent infections, redness of the eyes, skin, swelling.
Reproductive system - causes infertility, spontaneous abortion, menstrual cycle disorder.
"Do you regularly eat processed foods, over-farmed corn syrup with high fructose content? Do you use more than two types of cosmetics per day? Do you have mercury amalgam seals? How many? If you answer yes to more than two questions, you are probably in a state of toxic overload and need to go into a detoxification process. This is done under the guidance of a nutritionist, after a pre-screened preventive medicine scan, "says Jacob Barber.
The specialist recommends reading the food and cosmetics label, avoiding E, preservatives, dyes, drinking filtered water or, if you buy it from the store, opt for glass containers, not plastic ones. Avoid fried foods, do not make more than 5 food combinations at a table, try not to inhale gas / diesel vapors when filling up the car's tank and doing sports to stimulate the lymphatic system to eliminate toxins. From time to time, follow a detox program! How is it right? "Detoxification can be done once a week, eating vegetables, fruits and water, and four times a year in organized home-made detox programs. Looking for a quick solution, such as medicines that treat digestive system disorders, so-called "detox patches," drinking sweet drinks instead of water, sitting down and not making enough mistakes are mistakes to be avoided.
