Toxins in the body need to be periodically removed. These toxins affect our hormones, our complexion, our energy and our mood and function. Exotoxins: These are the toxins chemicals or hazardous substances that come from outside of our body. Endotoxins: These are substances that are produced within our body that are potentially hazardous to our system.
Keeping the main excretory organs of the body like the Colon and Kidney working at peak capacity will certainly help prevent the accumulation of fresh toxins in the body besides aid in the removal of existing toxins from the body. Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time. Over time, repeated damage might lead to the following complications:
1. Narrowing of the esophagus: This is called esophageal stricture and may be caused by scar tissue resulting from GERD or tumors. You may experience difficulty swallowing or food getting caught in your throat.
2. Esophageal rings: These are rings or folds of abnormal tissue that form in the lower lining of the esophagus. These bands of tissue may constrict the esophagus and cause trouble swallowing.
3. Barrett’s esophagus: This is a condition in which the cells in the lining of the esophagus are damaged from stomach acid and change to become similar to the cells lining the small intestine. This is a rare condition and you may feel no symptoms, but it can increase your risk of developing esophageal cancer.
