People are always in search of ways to cleanse their bodies especially after a period of being lax in their exercise regimes and diets. Lack of exercise, unhealthy foods, and spending too much?time indoors can result in low energy, weight gain, body inflammation, and a weakened immune system. One of the ways to undo the damage and get your body back on track is to cleanse. Cleansing not only prevents diseases, but it also improves body physique, slows aging, promotes liver health, restores antioxidants, improves your mental clarity, and boosts your mood.
Here are the main reasons why you should think about making?cleansing a part of your lifestyle.

Strengthens immune system
The immune system forms part of your body’s natural detoxification system and is the first line of defense against toxins in our bodies. However, the immune system can get weakened by both external and internal toxins. This happens when they cause the immune system to lose function during an attack or immune response. Chemical pollutants can suppress immune responses and result in the development of infectious diseases. A nutritional cleanse rids your body of toxins that bring down your immune system, leaving you healthier.

Supports vital organs
All body organs are targets of toxic exposure. Cleansing supports your vital organs before they become overwhelmed. Most toxins enter the body through the respiratory system and skin which can lead to disorders like asthma and dermatitis. The kidneys are the primary defenders gains harmful substances entering the body through the bloodstream. The constant exposure of kidneys to these harmful substances can cause nephrotoxicity. This is a poisonous effect of medication and poisonous chemicals on renal function.

Reduces inflammation
Toxins wipe out cytokines pathways and damage immune cells through free radicals. Cytokines aid communication between cells during an immune response and also help the movement of cells towards the site of infection, inflammation or trauma. Long-term exposure to toxins?weakens the immune system. With time, the white blood cells start attacking necessary cells, tissues, and internal organs. This could potentially cause autoimmune diseases. One way of avoiding this is ridding the body of toxins through cleansing.

Protects heart, reproduction, and nervous systems
The hematologic and cardiovascular systems are adversely affected by toxins. These harmful substances act on the autonomic nervous system or myocardial cells to affect blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiac contractility. Vinyl chloride, arsenic, and lead have mainly been found to cause cardiovascular diseases. Benzene can cause changes in the bone marrow, leading to leukemia and anemia. Neurotoxins depress the nervous system leading to nervous disorders like dementia, Parkinson’s disease, seizures, peripheral neuropathy, and even death. Heavy metals like mercury and aluminum are particularly harmful to the brain.

Reduces cravings and supports brain health
Cleansing can aid in the elimination of unhealthy cravings. Toxins found in food including preservatives, additives, and artificial sweeteners cause cravings for unhealthier food. Once you remove them through cleansing, the unhealthy cravings go away. Cleansing has?a number of benefits?to your brain health. Exposure to toxins leads to brain toxicity which happens when the brain absorbs heavy metals, chemicals, and solvents. Brain toxicity causes symptoms such as fatigue, memory loss, depression, inability to focus, and seizures. Exposure of children to chemicals during early development causes brain injury to the fetus. Researchers have linked chemicals to neurodevelopmental disorders in children, such as autism, dyslexia, and ADHD.

Slows the effects of aging
Gerontogens are a class of environmental toxins that accelerate aging. They are found in things like Ultraviolet (UV) rays, cigarette smoke, benzene, arsenic, and chemotherapy.

Toxins can also affect the number and size of fat cells and the hormones that?control cravings, appetite, satiety, and metabolism. Chemical pesticides in water and food have been known to increase body mass index (BMI) in children.
