How to Know Your Body Is Getting Rid of Toxins

If you decide to change your diet to improve your health, you may experience detoxification symptoms. These symptoms feel so severe that you conclude your new way of eating is actually worse than before. In fact, the body's natural response to toxins often results in doctors prescribing drugs to mask the uncomfortable symptoms. In combination with your unhealthy diet, the drugs will likely make you even sicker and weaker than before. You may just not experience it that way.

Detoxification

• 1

  Check your stools. Experiencing diarrhea and constipation typically reveal the body ridding itself of toxins. According to the website rawfoodexplained.com, "When food is not being digested properly or is passing right through your body, then it is time to stop all food intake. This is your body's way of telling you it doesn't require any nourishment at this time, but instead is busy cleaning." Try brisk daily walking and eating lots of fruits and vegetables in your diet to cure constipation

  Look at your skin. Are you experiencing rashes or more pimples than normal? An individual prone to skin problems often finds that his toxins leave his body via his skin.

• 3

  Monitor your mood. Do you feel anxious? Angry or depressed? Nervous? These symptoms indicate the withdrawal of sugar, nicotine, or caffeine in most people. A diet high in raw foods may alleviate the symptoms.

  Watch out for head aches. A throbbing head ache indicates detoxification. When metals such as lead, copper, arsenic, and aluminum leave your body, head aches often occur. Caffeine and nicotine withdrawal also leads to head aches.

  Pay attention to your body. Do you feel achy, tired, weak and under the weather? According to the website naturaltechniques.com, "The hardest thing for many people to do is accept that they are not sick and realize that the body is cleansing itself."
