How the toxin devils affect your health

January 30, 2008

Alcohol

Drinking one or two drinks a day is considered healthy but drinking more than two a day increases the risk of certain cancers and strokes. And drinking more than four a day can affect major organs, brain cells and vision.

Caffeine

Consuming more than 400 mg per day produces higher levels of stress hormone, lower concentration and energy levels.

Nicotine

While you smoke you inhale poison such as arsenic and cyanide which when taken even in minute doses, are harmful. You also breathe in carbon monoxide which starves the body of oxygen. During smoking your body produces a chemical called nitro amines that can cause cancer.

Saturated fats

Red meat is considered toxic because it’s hard for the body to digest and therefore causes toxin build-up in the colon. Saturated fats are found in full fat dairy product, margarine and butter, cakes, cream etc.

Sugar

It dramatically increases the number of free radical and the levels of the so called bad bacteria in the bowel, which can boost fermentation and increase the risk or more dangerous toxins being reabsorbed.

Stress

Stress, a very common influencer now a day is not something that we ingest, but when we are stressed, we produce a variety of chemicals in the body that puts our systems on alert. Blood pressure might increase, thereby, forcing the circulation to increase. This aids the circulation of dangerous toxins freely throughout the internal body system. And more dangerously, when stressed, a person tends to indulge in other toxins such as alcohol, cigarettes, sugar and other fatty foods.
