Lungs: The lungs dispel toxins with every exhala on. Chief among these toxins is carbon dioxide, a by-product of respira on, the body's release of energy. The muscular contrac ons involved in breathing also help to transport lymph and blood, which also convey toxins. The lungs' lining of mucus and cilia (small hairs that capture airborne par cles) help prevent toxins from entering the body. Skin: As a protec ve covering, it keeps toxins from entering the body. Simultaneously, because of its size and area, it actually eliminates more cellular waste than the colon and kidneys combined. Blood: The blood that moves through the cardiovascular system is the key transporta on system in the body, bringing nutrients and oxygen to the cells and flushing away waste products and toxins. Lymph: Lymph, a clear fluid filled with immune cells called lymphocytes, moves around the body in a series of vessels that parallel the paths of the veins. Lymph delivers nutrients as well as collects cellular waste and helps destroy pathogens. The Seven Channels of Elimination We need to nourish and support all of our channels of elimina on as o en as we can. Doing this requires modifica ons to your lifestyle and diet, which help reduce your exposure to toxins and aid in your body's expulsions of current toxins hiding out deep in the body. Colon: The colon is the final place in the body where waste (food residue) travels before being eliminated. It is cri cal that bowel elimina on happens daily. Liver: In today's polluted world, health researchers believe the added toxic burden on our livers contributes to chronic fa gue, high cholesterol, irritable bowel syndrome, cogni ve difficul es and high blood pressure. A major organ of elimina on, the liver serves as the manager of the en re detoxifica on process in the body. Kidneys: The kidneys filter out water-soluble wastes from the blood that flows to them from the liver. These wastes are then stored in the bladder before elimina on through the urine.
