Toxins are a part of everyday life and we cannot escape them. They are found all around us, in the air, water, food, but also in our body.
We bring you four major sources of toxins in our lives that we should avoid or regulate because otherwise they cause health problems.
1. Lack of sleep. We need quality sleep so that the body can smoothly carry out its internal detoxification processes. Experts recommend eight hours of sleep every night. If you have problems sleeping, try to stabilize your rhythm a little - go to bed at the same time every day. Lack of sleep will have a bad effect on your health.
2. Prepared food. When we come home from work tired, sometimes it's easiest to go to the store and buy already cooked food. However, the intake of ready-made food into the body should be minimal and we should avoid frequent consumption of such meals because they do not contain the necessary nutrients and are often full of unhealthy fats, sugar and toxins.
3. A 'messy' past. If you have been smoking, consuming fast food or drinking large amounts of alcohol for a long time, this has long-term consequences for your health. Even when we get rid of those 'vices', the body remembers them. When our body is overloaded with toxins, it has to find a place to 'store' them, and it mostly stores them in fat tissue. That's why doctors recommend that you do a small detoxification program at least once a year, in which you will eliminate "hidden" toxins.
4. Cleaning products. We want a clean home without bacteria, so we often reach for various cleaning products that contain chemicals and although they fulfill their purpose well, they are actually not good for our health if we use them incorrectly. When cleaning, protect your hands with rubber gloves, and if the product says to protect the respiratory tract, be sure to do so, reports Radio Sarajevo.
