7 Signs of Toxic Buildup
How can you tell if your body is full of toxins?
1. Constant Fatigue
Even though you may be sleeping well, you struggle just to get through the day. Low energy levels could be due to an overworked immune system
2. Stubborn Weight Gain
As we age, it can be difficult to lose weight. However, if you are exercising daily and cutting calories and still putting on pounds, your problem may be hormonal. Your hormone functions can be greatly affected by the toxic buildup in your body from processed foods, pesticides, cosmetics, medication, cleaning supplies and environmental pollutants
3. Bad breath
If you brush your teeth on a regular basis and gargle with mouthwash, but it doesn’t seem to help, it could be due to digestive or liver problems
4. Chronic Constipation
For optimal health, we need to have bowel elimination at least twice a day. When fecal waste remains in the body for too long, toxins are reabsorbed and can cause headaches, fatigue and joint pain
5. Sensitivity to Fragrances
Fragrances are in everything from dish soap to cosmetics. Many of these products contain harmful chemicals that can affect your body. A sign of toxic overload is an upset stomach or a sudden headache after exposure to certain fragrances. Although once you remove these harmful toxins from your environment, once exposed it is likely to trigger a physical reaction of some kind.
6. Muscle and Joint Pain
It is natural to have muscle spasms the following day after a hard workout at the gym. However, if you are having muscle and joint pain on a regular basis, this can be due to toxic buildup in your joints and muscles
7. Skin Conditions
Acne, rashes, boils, puffy eyes, eczema and psoriasis outbreaks are all signs that you are on toxic overload
