1. Why the topic of toxins is important
In our modern environment and diet, we are confronted daily with potentially harmful substances.
These so-called “toxins” can be found in food, packaging, air, or water—often unnoticed.
They burden our bodies, weaken our health, and can increase the risk of chronic diseases in the long term.
2. Basics & Explanation
- Definition: Toxins are substances that are harmful to the human body in certain amounts.
- Sources:
- Food: Pesticides, additives, heavy metals
- Environment: Fine dust, air pollutants, water contamination
- Household & Products: Plasticizers, preservatives, solvents
- The body has detoxification systems (liver, kidneys, skin, lungs) that break down many substances—but problems arise when they are overloaded.
3. Challenges & Risks
- Cumulative effect: Small amounts over a long period add up.
- Individual sensitivity: Children, the elderly, and people with pre-existing conditions are particularly at risk.
- Long-term consequences:
- Hormonal disorders (e.g., caused by plasticizers)
- Stress on the nervous and immune systems
- Increased cancer risk with chronic exposure
- Difficult to detect: Many toxins act invisibly and slowly.
4. Tips & First Steps
- Choose food consciously: Prefer regional, seasonal, and organic products.
- Filter water: Treat tap water where it makes sense.
- Avoid plastic: Store food better in glass or stainless steel.
- Fresh air & exercise: Supports the body’s own detoxification.
- Relief through nutrition: Plenty of vegetables, fiber, and enough fluids help the liver and kidneys.
