Poor digestion, increased appetite, weight gain, or illness can be signs that the body has many toxins.
The body’s natural detoxification systems work regularly, but some health problems can make them less effective. This is the time to maintain diet, exercise along with some healthy habits to purify and detoxify the body.
Poor digestion
Frequent indigestion can be a sign that the body is overloaded with toxins and needs to be cleansed. The liver is an important organ responsible for detoxification and filtering waste. Constipation or lack of regular bowel movements can occur when the diet lacks antioxidants, allowing toxins to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
Prolonged bouts of severe diarrhea also warn that the digestive system is overloaded. This happens when the body contains too many toxins, making it difficult to absorb essential vitamins and nutrients.
When these signs appear, you should follow an appropriate detox diet under the advice of a nutritionist or specialist.
Unusual weight gain
Adipose tissue (fat cells) in the body tends to accumulate toxins. It is difficult for the body to break down these fat cells to release toxins, leading to unwanted weight gain.
Sudden changes in food and nutrition intake, drinking alcohol and smoking can cause the body to be unable to function normally and accumulate toxins.
Appetite increases
Ghrelin is a hormone that stimulates appetite, secreted by the brain to signal hunger. People who often crave food while still eating well can be a warning sign that the body needs to eliminate toxins.
Stress, fatigue
When overworked, the body and mind feel stressed. To cope with this condition, the body secretes dopamine, also known as the “happy hormone”. However, too much accumulation of toxins can interfere with dopamine production, making it difficult to control stress, leading to depression, anxiety, and mood swings.
Frequent fatigue can also be a sign that the body needs to detox.
Or sick
Getting sick easily is a sign that the immune system is weakened. This makes a person susceptible to viral and bacterial infections. At this time, you should eat healthy by cutting down on processed foods and junk food. They negatively impact intestinal health – the immune barrier that protects the body from infection.
Poor memory and ability to concentrate
The body has too many toxins that affect liver function, causing blood to accumulate in the brain. When this happens, the activity of neurotransmitters can be affected, causing the brain to slow down.
Difficulty sleeping
Difficulty sleeping can be a warning sign that the body needs to detoxify. When there are many internal toxins, the circadian rhythm can change and make it more difficult to sleep. Some people also wake up in the middle of the night, disturbing the REM sleep cycle, leading to other related health problems.
