DETOXIFICATION
The Toxicity Epidemic is a constant issue for everyone. Toxin exposure is linked to disease. It is estimated that between $568 and $793 billion is spent in the U.S. and Canada every year on toxicity-related diseases. Exposure to Toxins such as heavy metals, pesticides, industrial compounds and pollutants-is a causative factor for many types of cancers, Parkinson's disease, conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome and multiple chemical sensitivities, and is suggested to affect diverse conditions such as atherosclerosis and diabetes.
The Question for Preventive Medicine is....How do we protect ourselves from the damage toxins can produce in order to promote optimal health and longevity? We cannot remove ourselves from all exposures to toxins but we can provide protection from the influence these toxins have on our health by promoting the endogenous systems that protect the body from their effects! The primary system that performs this task is detoxification, or biotransformation system of enzymes in the liver, which include Phase I bioactivation and the Phase II conjugation. And, since these enzyme systems require many key nutrients to function optimally, phytonutrients can play a major role in promoting healthy detoxification and protection from toxicity.
