Heavy Metals And How To Detox From Them.

Everyone has some level of heavy metal in their body and they really are part of the underlying root cause of diseases.You might not even realize how many heavy metals are in your diet, especially since small amounts of certain metals are pretty much unavoidable.

Heavy metal poisoning may occur as a result of industrial exposure, air or water pollution, foods, medicines, improperly coated food containers, or the ingestion of lead-based paints.
The most current common foods with heavy metals are:

1- Fish

2- Brown Rice

3- Leafy greens (when non-organic) 

4- Bone broth

5- Unfiltered water

Once these kinds of toxins are in your bodies, many of them are very hard for your body to get rid of. The toxins simply accumulate, building up inside of you until they're concentrated enough to cause a problem and negatively affect various healthy functions in your body.
With that said, you can make conscious choices to reduce your overall heavy metal exposure.

Left unchecked heavy metal toxicity can cause not only misery but serious disease including Alzheimers, dementia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, and cancer. A 2014 article in the journal Interdisciplinary Toxicology explains:
”Heavy metal toxicity can lower energy levels and damage the functioning of the brain, lungs, kidney, liver, blood composition and other important organs. Long-term exposure can lead to gradually progressing physical, muscular, and neurological degenerative processes that imitate diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and muscular dystrophy. Repeated long-term exposure of some metals and their compounds may even cause cancer (Jarup, 2003).”

The toxicity level of a few heavy metals can be just above the background concentrations that are being present naturally in the environment. Hence thorough knowledge of heavy metals is rather important for allowing to provide proper defensive measures against
their excessive contact (Ferner, 2001). (Jaishankar 2014)
