The Truth About Toxins
The Truth About Toxins
The key area of natural damage generated by energy production is a result of the build up of toxic waste. If you look at fuel sources such as petrol or coal for example, during the burning process a residue is produced. This needs to be cleared away once the energy has been utilized, in order to enable a new supply to burn effectively. This clear-up operation is necessary for two main reasons: the first is because it clogs everything up, preventing oxygen reaching the fuel source; and the second is that it is toxic and contains harmful by-products that could be dangerous. Our internal energy supply is no different. As we utilize energy, a residue or by-product is produced and this needs to be disposed of, otherwise it will get in the way and cause damage.
Your structure is made up of bones, muscles and tissue, each of which is a mass of cells stacked together to create form. In between the individual cells, fluid flows, supplying the essential nutrients and water the cells need to function. This fluid also transports oxygen around the body so that it can fuse with the glucose oozing out of the cells and supply energy to all areas of the body. Cells themselves are an individual powerhouse so in order to function they also need energy. This means that your body needs energy to make energy. To maintain energy levels and keep the cells healthy it is essential that nothing affects this constant flow. In addition to supplying energy, this distribution system also removes harmful substances, enables a speedy response to any damage that is incurred and allows the immune system to operate effectively.
When your body burns energy, the process leaves behind a residue. This residue needs to be disposed of quickly because it contains acids that are toxic to the body, hence the name toxin. If the toxins are not removed this acid will burn into the cellular structure, causing damage. Again, it is a naturally occurring process and yes, you guessed it, toxins are disposed of by the body during relaxation. I think you can start to see a pattern emerging when I say that toxins only become a problem when your body is exposed to extreme or prolonged periods of stress or anxiety, it lacks the essential resources required to combat them or there is a high intake of stimulating substances or chemicals that overload your system with toxins.
Toxins weaken your cellular strength through acidity, making it harder for your body to function effectively – but they also have a dramatic effect on energy levels if they are allowed to build up.
This is because they create a deposit. In the same way as burnt wood makes ash and gas generates soot, toxins form crystals that build up in your system. As they grow into a bigger mass they start to block and clog up the freeflowing system in the body, preventing effective waste disposal and the distribution of nutrients and energy.
