Excess Of Toxins In The Body: Symptoms
Even when we have healthy habits, we can feel tired. This can be due to an excess of toxins in the body.
In this article we talk about the signs that we must “listen to” and that warn us of a health problem.
Excess of toxins: alarm bells
Headaches, short temper, and indigestion can be isolated symptoms caused by a particular condition. However, when they become the rule and no longer the exception, we need to pay more attention to them, as they can indicate an excess of toxins in the body.
Among the main symptoms that the detox system is not working properly, we find:
1. Constant fatigue
It does not matter how many hours a day you sleep, because you will still be sleepy or you will lack the “fuel” to feel good.
When the body works hard to eliminate toxins, it is normal to feel tired.
If you drink coffee or eat chocolate to alleviate this problem, you will only make the situation worse. Keep in mind that chronic fatigue can also be the consequence of a hormonal imbalance that is damaging the immune system.
2. Constipation
In the event of an intestinal disorder, the body cannot eliminate toxins in the stool.
Chronic constipation is a sign of intoxication. If you’ve even increased your fiber intake, or if you’ve changed your diet and aren’t seeing any changes, you may need a deep colon cleanse.
Do not forget that for years the digestive system has accumulated waste that it cannot completely expel. Try to consume more raw fruits and vegetables to encourage this process.
3. Headache
The sources of migraines are different. However, we must pay due attention to it if it appears several times a week.
If you cannot determine the cause of your headache (you have not had a stressful day, you have not been in the sun, you have not suffered from insomnia, etc.), then you should consider a possible excess of toxins.
Be aware, however, that the headache can increase during the detoxification process (known as a “healing crisis”).
4. Weight gain
It is true that for some people losing a few pounds is very difficult, while gaining weight is not.
However, if despite exercise and diet you don’t notice any changes (or even weigh more than before), it could be due to a hormonal problem.
The function of hormones can also become intoxicated and altered due to the foods we consume or the habits we adopt.
5. Difficulty concentrating
Are you having a hard time concentrating on your tasks? Do you leave things halfway because you have “your head in the clouds”? Do you find it difficult to make precise decisions?
“Mental fog” is the inability to concentrate and is very common in the case of excess toxins.
Don’t make the mistake of drinking coffee or alcohol to remedy the problem. On the contrary, eliminate waste through an adequate diet.
6. Depression
It will have happened at times to be happy and then, at any moment, to feel like the most unfortunate person on the planet.
The mood changes several times a day and external factors such as traffic, work, financial problems or housework are blamed.
However, depression and anxiety can also appear due to an unhealthy diet and, therefore, overload the body with toxins (which we then fail to eliminate as we should).
Start a healthy diet and gradually you will see results.
7. Insomnia
If you have nightmares, wake up in the middle of the night and can’t sleep or have a lot of trouble sleeping, maybe your problem is too much toxins.
This condition hinders the functions of the hormone called melatonin (responsible for relaxation and rest).
Sometimes we believe that the solution is to consume sleeping pills or relaxants; however, these become a double-edged sword. Increasingly higher doses are needed to achieve the desired effects, plus they bring additional toxic substances to the body.
For this reason, before going to bed, we recommend some techniques to achieve restorative sleep, such as meditation or yoga.
8. Muscle aches
The life we lead often causes us pain or muscle contractures, especially in the cervical or dorsal area.
However, it often seems that even if you do nothing, you still suffer from some stiffness. It is likely to be attributed to a bad night, to the new pillow to the physical activity carried out, but if not… who is responsible? The toxins.
High levels of toxins cause inflammation and therefore pain and motor difficulties.
9. Acne
The skin reflects our state of health. This is why it is essential to pay attention to them. When the body wishes to eliminate toxins, it can do so in several ways.
One of these is the dermis. As a result, boils appear in certain areas of the face, torso and back. In addition, the skin acquires an unhealthy appearance, with enlarged pores and blackheads.
To avoid this, you not only need to cleanse and exfoliate, but also pay attention to what you eat and which can be at the root of this problem.
