## Toxins

From birth, the human body is designed to protect against and remove as many toxins
as possible. Toxins are all around us. These toxic things in the [food](https://greenlivingguy.com/2022/03/benefits-of-growing-your-own-food/)
we eat, the air we breathe, the chemicals we clean with. “Toxic load” refers to 
the volume toxins or toxic substances that have been accumulated in the body at 
any given time and the overall burden it places on the body systems and vital organs.
