A number of doctors and researchers are suggesting that detoxifying the body is best done as an ongoing cleansing effort rather than something you ignore for the most part and then do once a year. If you take steps to keep toxins from being continually stored and thus overwhelming your body in the first place, then it stands to reason you will not need to go through one of the stringent detoxification methods that in some cases remove some of the necessary bacteria in the body along with the toxins. Keeping your body strong and healthy while minimizing toxins on a regular basis means your kidneys, liver and other organs can eliminate toxins as they enter the body, rather than wait for them to strike and cause one to experience moderate to severe symptoms such as chronic infections, mental confusion, allergies, extreme fatigue and bowel issues. Concentrating on prevention is far better than dealing with the health problems that will result from doing nothing.
