Toxicity and Weight Loss

Fact #1 = The average human being comes into contact with approximately 82,000 chemicals in any given week.

Fact #2 = The majority of people who try to lose weight permanently will fail.

There is a connection between these two facts and it goes way beyond weight loss. Would you like to know how to lose weight and in the process become healthier and happier? Then read on…
It is a medical fact that dangerous levels of toxic chemicals in the body will cause increased fat deposition. The fat molecules actually surround and encase the toxic chemicals in an effort to protect the body. This is a survival mechanism. And yes, the majority of the toxic chemicals that I am referring to are what you put in your mouth and on your skin.

People often fail in their endeavor to lose weight and get healthier because the body will always be smarter than they are. What I mean is… the body knows that it needs the excess fat to protect itself and will always require it unless a drastic change is made internally. A person who truly desires to lose weight and get healthier must first figure out how to reduce the body’s need for the excess weight. In other words, they have to become less toxic!

The health problems associated with chemical toxicity goes far beyond weight gain. Some problems associated with chemical toxicity include: damage to the liver, kidneys and other organs, chronic stiffness and pain in joints and muscles, altered neurological function, abnormal sleep patterns, fatigue, headaches, fibromyalgia, and mood swings… just to name a few.

Let me give you a few ideas on how you are already creating a toxic internal environment right now: by ingesting foods with preservatives, antibiotics, hormones, pesticide residues, etc…, by using unhealthy hygiene products including many forms of makeup, sunscreens, deodorants, soaps, and household cleaning products, and by regularly drinking tap water… just to name a few.

This health topic can be intimidating and interesting all at the same time. But, knowing the difference between right and wrong when it comes to health and disease is far better than the alternative and its associated consequences. So, to put things in perspective let me say this about health and toxicity… being perfect is impossible, but getting better is worth the effort!
