The Toxic Body

In today's society our daily eating habits are such that we eat on a virtually continuous basis, never allowing our body the sufficient time it needs to digest the last meal before snacking, drinking or beginning another one. Food digestion is primary function of the body and therefore our system is programmed to store the half digested food from the last meal into fat cells and to return later to complete the digestive process. Unfortunately in our modern society of continuous snacking we never give our bodies the time to physically digest that previous meal, so it is permanently stored as fat. Imagine - it can take up to 16 hours to digest a steak. When was the last time you fasted for that long?

The increase of chemical additives in our daily diet has also contributed to the excess toxins in our bodies. Today even our table water is a cocktail of chemicals and with the introduction of GM foods the damage to our bodies continues.

Researchers at Leeds University have carried out extensive tests on a large number of people and found a potent new poison in the blood of many. This poison was discovered to be a chemical cocktail mixed from the numerous pesticides sprayed on our fruit and vegetables. Although these pesticides meet safety standards individually, the harm they could do when inadvertently mixed together in the human body has never been taken into account, and the average person has approximately 500 different chemicals in their body! Considering even the humble lettuce is sprayed around fifteen times before we get to eat it, this state of affairs is hardly surprising.
