Toxins are everywhere. And it’s getting worse.

In your food, in your air, in your water, in your cosmetics and toiletries, and in your car…

Your body can only handle so much, it has a maximum capacity and most of us are already well beyond it.

To help your body handle the increasingly toxic environment, here are 9 powerful natural detoxifiers you can add into your life to help you stay in optimal health.

If you’ve ever seen someone coming out of a sauna, you’ll notice their skin is often flushed. Flushing happens when blood flow to the skin increases.

But it’s not just the skin. It’s everywhere. Saunas open up all the tiny little capillaries in all the peripheral tissues, improving cardiovascular health on every level. Research shows saunas reduce risk of cardiovascular disease 64%, coronary heart disease 48%.

A small positive stressor can activate your immune system and endocrine system. It can trigger tissue repair and growth mechanisms. A very small dose of a toxic substance can even stimulate neural plasticity.

Parasites are remarkably difficult to diagnose. They drag your health and well-being down and down and down. They manifest as symptoms as diverse as fatigue, brain fog, and even bad breath, just to name a few of the dozens of possibilities.

They disrupt the balance of your microbiome and wreak havoc on your gut, which in turn affects nearly every aspect of your health and daily energy levels.

And these aren’t just some antiquated health concern for developing countries with inadequate sanitation. This is a modern silent epidemic.

Do you suffer from random bouts of brain fog? Chronic fatigue? Intense sugar cravings? Memory problems?

If you answered “yes” to any of the above, or are experiencing some other physiological symptoms, it’s time you learned about a little-known plague in modern society: parasites.

Now, I’m not talking about some grotesque looking insect that’s hidden on your body – I’m talking about microorganisms that live inside your digestive system and upset the homeostatic balance in your body.

They consume vital nutrients that would otherwise provide your cells with the nutrition they need to thrive and create subtle physiological changes in your body that can significantly reduce your quality of life.

Now, you might be thinking that this is a problem that only exists in underdeveloped or “unsanitary” parts of the world – and, if so, you are dead wrong.
