Do I really need to flush toxins out of my body?

O tym odcinku

There are an increasing number of trends and products out there to rid your body of toxins, such as infrared saunas, liver-purifying supplements and detox diets. But what exactly are toxins? According to the Cambridge Dictionary, a toxin is “a poisonous substance, especially one produced by bacteria, that causes disease.” However, today we tend to use the word toxin to refer to all the harmful substances present in the body such as food additives, pesticides, alcohol, gluten or pollutants. It’s actually kind of misleading, because not all toxins are as bad as one might think. That’s especially true when you consider that our bodies are capable of flushing out toxins on their own, without the need for any fancy treatments or supplements.  Which organs in the body are responsible for eliminating toxins? People say that you have to sweat to flush out toxins… is that true? Are we saying there’s no need to flush toxins out after all?  In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !
