Eating a
diet high in saturated fats can often lead to a
buildup in the arteries (atherosclerosis). In
similar fashion cholesterol, mucus, organic and
inorganic toxins, and toxic chemicals can build up
in various organs and tissues of the body.
After years of unhealthy diets and exposure to toxic
substances, often the body can no longer keep up
with eliminating these substances and they get
re-circulated into the bloodstream, stored in the
liver, body fat or many other parts of the body
severely affecting the operation of those organs and
tissues.
In addition to deposits of fatty acids and toxins in
the liver, liver cells can begin to die; bile flow
can become inhibited making digestion of fats
difficult.
In addition to the buildups in the liver, problems
can begin to arise in different areas of the body.
The gastrointestinal tract can develop microscopic
ulcerations, pH imbalances, imbalance in bacteria
and fungus, among many other problems.
Sometimes, these buildups are not severe enough to
be recognized as diseases unto themselves, yet they
can lead to quite a few problems throughout the body
and thus literally accelerate the ageing process.
Detoxification is one of the functions of the liver
and kidneys but can and should also be supported by
modification of the diet and colonic irrigation and
juice fasting.
Detoxification aims at alleviating and removing
buildups of toxic chemicals as well as other toxins
from the body and preventing any related diseases. A
holistic healing aiming at improving the diet only
and thus requires the natural detoxification
functions of the liver and the kidneys can often
result in the gradual removal of toxic substances
from the body.
However, in many instances, the detoxification tends
to be very slow if serious buildups exist in various
organs and body parts. Thus, the use of cleansing
techniques like the colonic irrigation can be
extremely beneficial and is in fact a very effective
anti-ageing method.
