This is part of a trio of articles on detox. The article outlines the main reasons why toxins can make you fat and why herbal detoxification can trigger weight loss.
When we go through a herbal detox process, removing toxic plaque from the intestines it helps enormously to rid toxins from both the bowel and the rest of the body. It enables the bowel to function properly again, therefor we can get rid of the collective fat and then lose weight more easily if one completes an intestinal cleanse. To put it another way, fat cells are the primary storage for toxins. Improve the function of removing toxins via the bowel and you improve the ability for the body to let go of fat. If the organs of digestion and elimination are dysfunctional, undigested waste will remain in the intestine, fermenting and circulating toxins into the body thus increasing the need for fat storage.
