'...you are what you absorb.'
"The old adage 'you are what you eat' is fast being replaced by the more accurate 'you are what you absorb.' And what we're absorbing is shocking."Toxic heavy metals find their way into our bodies daily. Cosmetics, antacids, car and truck exhaust, tuna fish, bass and trout, seafood, shellfish, canned foods, lipstick, buffered aspirin, tobacco smoke, drinking water, amalgam "silver" dental fillings, laxatives, vaccines, fertilizers, processed cheese, industrial pollution, insecticides, herbicides, medications, and many more, contain toxic heavy metals. Toxic heavy metal contamination is so pervasive in our environment that it is no longer a question of whether one has been exposed to toxins, but rather the level of exposure. Toxic heavy metals in your body affect three main areas: the nervous system, cardiovascular system and immune system. Heavy metals, such as mercury, lead, arsenic, nickel, aluminum and others disrupt nerve cell growth and metabolism and have been implicated in a variety of conditions. Do you know your level of toxic heavy metal exposure?
Symptoms like indigestion, bloating, headaches, fatigue, and allergies, as well as the more severe diseases of our time, like cancer, Alzheimer's, lupus, muscular dystrophy, environmental illnesses, and fibromyalgia, may all be connected directly or indirectly to some form of toxic overload.
Unfortunately, each of us is bombarded by toxins daily; through preservatives, pesticides and other food additives, chemicals in tap water, air pollution, pharmaceuticals, mercury in dental fillings, and even hidden external stressors such as radiation.
So the question is: how can we detoxify our bodies in order to give good nutrition, exercise, and supplements the optimal chance they need to help us stay healthy? Of course, there are a number of detoxification methods which you will learn more about in this document.
THE DETOX REVOLUTION
The toxins and carcinogens found in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the foods we eat can overload our systems and endanger good health. Wether you're born with surprisingly "good" genes or "bad" genes, you can still boost your body's ability to cleanse itself of these harmful substances by following the breakthrough program presented in The Detox Revolution.
By now, the health benefits of such foods as green tea and soy have been well touted. But what you may not know is that through a carefully structured diet balancing the right "superfoods" with supplements and lifestyle strategies you can help your body perform at optimum levels of health and energy, while greatly reducing the risk of disease.
Written by an internationally respected, thirty-five-year veteran in cancer research and nutrition, The Detox Revolution promotes the importance of building a new, more rational food pyramid, with special emphasis on incorporating surprising superfoods, including blueberries, grapefruit, carrots, rosemary, ginger, broccoli sprouts, onions, walnuts, spinach, watermelon, and salmon, as well as such sinful favorites as red wine, dark chocolate, and coffee! Based on the American Medical Center's heavily researched findings, Thomas J. Slaga, Ph.D., clearly outlines how practicing healthy eating habits strengthens your body's detoxification and immune systems, thus preventing such degenerative and deadly diseases as diabetes, arthritis, stroke, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.
Throughout his revolutionary program, Dr. Slaga incorporates scores of helpful tips from the research done at AMC Cancer Research Center, which proclaim the many detoxification benefits of:
- Installing water filters in the kitchen and bathroom taps, as well as showerheads
- Adding a little watercress to your salads and sandwiches everyday
- Incorporating a liberal amount of spices in your diet
- Marinating meats with garlic, onions, turmeric, or rosemary
