A lot of people have no idea as to what a Toxin is. Toxins are agents that are able to cause body harm, both internal as well as external. There are two kinds of toxins, the Exogenous or external toxins and Endogenous or internal toxins. The Exogenous toxins originate from external sources such as car fumes, tobacco smoke, drugs, factory pollution, etc. Whereas, the Enogenous toxins originate from viral or bacterial infection. Due to metabolism, our body creates its own toxins called Autogenous toxins.

Usually, these harmful substances are naturally eliminated by our body in a process called detoxification. Detoxification is the removal of stored toxic products from the bowel, the blood, liver, and kidneys that also include the the vast amounts of toxic substances stored in body fat to cure chronic diseases such as cancer. However, in the event, that body isn't able to get rid of all of the toxins, then, the easiest way to detoxify the body to perform detox through a natural detox diet. To detoxify the body naturally involves a complete change in your diet, i.e to switch from a poor to a healthy diet. A healthy diet includes raw food diet, specifically, fibers,  fruits and vegetables.

Naturally, the body detoxifies itself all day. The peak of detoxification occurs when the body is at a state of rest, i.e when you are sleeping. This is a way for the body to eliminate the toxins acquired from pollution, stimulants and nutrients.

For all you people with hectic schedules, you can substitute your stimulants with natural diet to acquire a healthy and active body. Most common stimulants consumed throughout the day are, refined white sugar, coffee, diet pills, cigarettes and red meat.

It is a proven fact, that sugar has a stimulating effect. Hence, we feel invigorated when we drink colas. What we do not know or either overlook is that fact that,  refined white sugar has extremely damaging effects on the body. Examples of products containing refined white sugar are cola and ketchup. It is advised to cut down on it by using varieties of brown sugars like cane sugar which is natural. Fruit juices also give the same kick as to refined white sugar.

Late night workers resort to drinking coffee to keep them awake.  Japanese or Chinese green tea acts as a natural substitute to coffee with a detoxifying effect. The Japanese or Chinese green tea gives the same sensation as it also contains caffeine but it does not contain substances that are irritating to the stomach.

Diet pills also act as stimulants for the body to be keep active. This may be observed among athletes specially, during time for competitions as they give more energy. They are being taken even with the knowledge about the toxic effect they have on the body. In lieu of this, athletes must take fruits instead due to their natural detoxifying effects.

For cigarette smokers who think smoking stimulates their mind to think, they must think twice, as smoking causes cancer. If they take carrots, they will experience the same effect in a more natural way.

For red meat lovers who really feel good and strong after feasting on said food, should switch to fish, as its a far better option.
