Recently, a lot of people have been clued in to the importance of detoxing heavy metals from their system. Over the last couple of years, more and more people are becoming aware that the immune system is an intricate and robust system that is interwoven! So, this means, when you have a toxic level of heavy metals, it affects many things in your body!
In fact, if you’re deficient in essential metals, your body will actually use toxic heavy metals as “stand-ins” instead. For example:
▪ Calcium is replaced by lead, which deposits primarily in bone, and disrupts the formation of red blood cells. Lead contributes to poor bone health such as osteopenia and osteoporosis.
▪ Zinc is replaced by cadmium, which tends to accumulate heavily in your kidneys. Cadmium overload is associated with peripheral neuropathy.
▪ Magnesium is replaced by aluminum, which, among other things, induces neurochemical changes and has been identified as a contributing factor to developing Alzheimer’s.
▪ Manganese is replaced by nickel, which is carcinogenic.
Why is Your Diet so Important When it Comes to Detoxing?
In addition to avoiding or limiting your exposure to toxins, you need to focus on eating a healthy diet, preferably based on your nutritional type to reap maximum overall health benefits.
The Weston A. Price diet recommendations — which were written in 1920 and still, like all truths, hold true today — includes these timeless guidelines:
▪ Eat foods that are natural, unprocessed, and organic (and contain no sugar except for the occasional bit of honey or maple syrup).
▪ Eat foods that grow in your native environment. In other words, eat locally grown, seasonal foods.
▪ Eat unpasteurized dairy products (such as raw milk) and fermented foods.
▪ Eat at least one-third of your food raw.
▪ Make sure you eat enough healthy fats, including those from animal sources like omega-3 fat, and reduce your intake of omega-6 from vegetable oils.
