You are surrounded and bombarded with toxic materials every day. In fact, you are even subjected to toxic free radicals that naturally form in the body due to stress, emotional disturbances and anxiety. The body has a built-in process for flushing toxins from the body in the form of tears, sweat and the natural elimination process.

The liver's main job is to filter the blood coming from the digestive tract, before passing it to the rest of the body.
The liver also detoxifies chemicals and metabolizes drugs. As it does so, the liver secretes bile that ends up back in the intestines.
The liver also makes proteins important for blood clotting and other functions. III
Brooks points out that detoxing has always played an important role in natural medicine. Cleansing programs have played a part in human's rituals for health and well-being as far back as 1800 BC. Brooks states that it is important to maximize the supply of nutrients required to optimize the liver's detoxification pathways, which can mean supplementing the diet with nutrient-rich food and supplements.

Dan Zisko, writing in www.livestrong.com, points out that toxins are stored in the body's major organs. A detox can help these organs work more effectively. In addition, a detox helps to flush free radicals from the body, which can make the body's immune system stronger and lower the risk of cancer. Zisko also states that detoxification can help clear the blood, which aids with circulation.V
Fiber helps your liver flush out toxins by transporting them out of your digestive system. When there is a sufficient amount of fiber in your stomach, toxins stick with food and are eliminated with your bowel movements. If you don’t have enough fiber in your system, the toxins re-enter your blood and the liver becomes overworked, since it has to process them all over again. It is recommended that you eat two to three servings of fiber-rich foods every day.VI
Women need 25 grams of fiber per day and men should get 38 grams per day, according to an Institute of Medicine formula based on getting 14 grams of fiber for every 1,000 caloriesVII. Apple pectin is a gentle method of detoxing your body due to its soluble fiber content.
