While it's impossible to avoid all of the toxins that come with modern life, we still have the  power to create balanced health! Toxicology has to take place!

In this modern world, it seems that life continues to provide us advances that speed up the pace of everything. Everything has gotten quicker, apart from the fact that our human bodies and the nature need balance. Nonetheless those advances often creates no good in a sense that it can also upset the balance so necessary for our health and this is usually seen in the form of toxic overload.

When we hear something about toxic substances the first thing that comes up in our mind is that it is a potential risk and we are aware that it may possibly harm us. However, we don’t have any idea on the extent of how will it affect our body’s system. 

For quite some time, we already have seen increasing imbalances. The growing rates of cancer, diabetes, fatigue, obesity, heart disease, allergy, infertility, candida, autism and Alzheimer’s disease may be linked to toxic overload in our bodies.

We should know where all these toxins are coming from. First, is the air that we breathe in. Due to smoke belch, tobacco smoking, chemicals expelled from the factories, all around wastes and some, we inhale pollutants freely. Those free radicals destroy our healthy cells. 

Second, is the water. Our body is supposedly be cleansed by drinking a lot of purified water to eliminate toxins through sweats and urine. But, what if the water that we drink is contaminated? Chances are aside from exposing ourselves to contaminants, we may also get various diseases from it.

Food and drugs are next in line. Since we are in the busy world we used to eat processed foods, microwaved, and the one that we buy at fast foods not knowing that those can contain preservatives which are extremely harmful for our health. Sweets are like downright poison. It feeds the candida. In addition to that, we are no longer sure if the fruits or vegetables we eat are safe and organic, some farmers used to spritz chemicals like formalin or other pesticides to preserve the appearance and make it look appetizingly fresh. All drugs have its side effects when not taken at the right dosage, so we should make it a point that what are we going to take must be consulted to a physician. Some drugs must be taken with caution because of the possible adverse reaction.

Stress and negative emotions are also included for it affects the normal functions of the system like having a hormonal imbalance. Being stressed is part of our life. Some people who have not able to cope with pressures or anxieties are more prone to illnesses. They are immuno-compromised because the body’s defense mechanism could not work properly.

It basically means that we are all exposed to toxins. Everything is poisonous it only differs in the dose.  What should we do in order for us to eliminate health hazards in our environment and improve our wellness? Toxicology has to take place. It mainly deals with the nature and effects and treatments of poisons. Treatments may include diets and exercise, daily intake of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to help boost our system.
