Detoxification involves the removal of harmful toxins that build up in your body over time, especially in the liver, kidneys, lymphatic system and colon. The body does detoxify itself naturally to a certain extent, but in today’s polluted world, it often cannot cope on its own with the amount of harmful molecules that it encounters. For example, according to the World Health Organization, 13 million deaths worldwide could be prevented every year by making our environment healthier.

The number of synthetic chemicals introduced since World War II is astonishing. Studies on the health effects of some of these chemicals are currently underway, but will take decades, or perhaps centuries to complete, and little data is publicly available about even the basic toxicity of these high production volume chemicals.

These toxins find their way into our bodies in countless ways and in many cases cannot be avoided. Due to our high exposure to these potentially harmful chemicals, it is important to detoxify our bodies to remain healthy, and it is not hard to do.

The first step is to avoid molecules that are known to be harmful by making sure to buy organic food and natural products free of potentially dangerous preservatives. You should also steer clear of foods that are known to be harmful to your health, such as refined sugar, and trans fats. A proper diet is essential to healthy bodily function and maintaining energy levels.

However, this only goes so far and it is inevitable that toxins will enter your body. The second step is to therefore remove the harmful molecules through natural detoxification methods or by taking supplements to help support the elimination systems. These are important because toxin buildup can have significant effects on your physical wellbeing, such as headaches, weakness and fatigue. Detoxification is one of the best ways to support your health and overall well-being in a polluted and toxic environment. Unexplained headaches or back pain, memory loss , brittle nails and hair and frequent allergies are all signs that pollutants could be affecting your health.

Supplements are an integral part of the detoxification process. The average American diet does not provide the necessary nutrients that the body needs to perform at its best, which is why many doctors have recommended taking vitamin supplements for years. However, not all supplements are beneficial, and there is great variation in the quality and efficacy of the supplements found on the market.
 
Supplements serve the function of giving us necessary nutrients that we might not be getting from our food. For example, it is well known that the fatty oils (Omega 3) found in fish have numerous health benefits ranging from promoting heart health to supporting joints and ease of movement. However, due to environmental pollution, fish are known to contain high levels of mercury, a dangerous heavy metal that is linked to Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s and even cancer. Fortunately, by taking an Omega 3 supplement you can still get the health benefits of fish oils without introducing more toxins into your body.

No matter what you take supplements for, it is important that you choose those that are made of only 100% natural ingredients. Synthetic vitamins might not be absorbed by the body as well as natural ones, so you may not be actually getting all of the benefits of the supplement. Make sure to buy natural vitamins derived from whole foods and without any harsh binders or fillers. The Targetage® line of dietary supplements was created with these issues in mind and includes only the highest quality natural ingredients to help you achieve optimal health and wellness.
