Why bother?

Our bodies are just like central heaters or car engines in that they get clogged up with dirt. Toxins build up in our bodies and in the long term, they interfere with the body's functions. The results: fatigue, dull skin, hair and nails, irritiability, depression and low resistance to infections. 

Where do toxins come from? There are two possible explanations:
> from the inside: our bodies produce waste naturally, especially during digestion.
> from the outside, i.e. from the environment: polllution in the air, cigarettes, alcohol, medication, additives and colourings.

The human body is supposed to be able to get rid of waste itself, mainly through the liver and kidneys. But if there is a large quantity of toxins in the blood, the body can't cope. Our cells struggle to nourish themselves, our organs function more slowly, and we start seeing those unwanted symptoms that tell us our body needs a rest.
