HEALTHToxins Stored In Your Fat Cells Are Making You Fat And Swollen. Here’s How To Cleanse Them
The environment we live in nowadays is filled with toxins and chemicals which are slowly destroying our body. The unhealthy diet most of us eat only makes matters worse. Toxicity nowadays is almost impossible to avoid and our liver and colon can easily get blocked. The body has a system which cleans the toxins naturally, but with so much work due to the constant attack by toxins, they don’t always function like they’re supposed to.
There are 2 types of toxins – fat and water soluble. The water-soluble toxins are eliminated through sweat and urine, but things are not so simple with fat-soluble toxins. In order to eliminate them, these toxins need to be turned to water-soluble compounds which is the liver’s job. Fat-soluble toxins include pesticides, food additives, preservatives, pollutants, heavy metals and plastics. As we said, the liver’s role is to make these toxins into lighter compounds which can then be eliminated. Unfortunately, due to the hard work this vital organ performs every day, it isn’t always able to turn the fat-soluble to water-soluble toxins, which means they can start accumulating in our body.
When the liver and digestive tract are blocked, none of them can’t perform their function. The so-called toxic fats need to pass through the digestive system into the small intestine, where small threads called villi sweep them. This process is supported by the body’s Gut Associated Lymphatic System or GALT which surrounds the GI tract and is vital for the elimination of toxins. If the GALT and villi are functioning well, the toxins and chemicals will get eliminated. However, the villi can easily dry out and the GALT system is often blocked due to our diet and the air pollution, resulting in tons of toxins accumulated in our tissues.
Bloating, swelling in the breasts, hands and feet, irregular bowel movements, skin irritation, joint stiffness and hypersensitivity are the main symptoms of a congested GALT. Add the dry villi to this problem and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. When the GI tract produces enough mucus, our stool is normal and all the toxins and chemicals can be eliminated. If the mucus is excessive, we will experience diarrhea. If you notice too much mucus in your stool, you should address the problem immediately as it can cause big problems.
The villi are crucial for the elimination process. They shouldn’t be too wet or too dry in order to function, but factors such as stress, unhealthy diet, coffee, additives and hyperacidity can harm their function. Proper bile production is also important for proper elimination. The bile is produced by the liver and has the role of processing fats, acting as the immune system of the GI tract. When there’s plenty of fiber in the body, things will be just fine. However, lack of fiber in your diet can cause bile problems and dry the villi, resulting in a congested GALT and a slew of health problems.
Liver Congestion
When the liver is congested due to a high level of toxins, it will allow fat-soluble toxins into the bloodstream. They will eventually find their way to our fat cells, accumulating in there and causing serious damage. These toxins can even reach the brain and are a potentially life-threatening problem.
Eliminate Your Fat To Remove Toxins From Your Body
The ancient Ayurveda medicine relied on improving the body’s metabolism in order to melt fat and flush out toxins from the body. There are many ways to burn fat (diet, exercise) and making major lifestyle changes is a big part of the process. It’s also important to learn how good your digestive system is functioning, as a congested liver and GI tract won’t allow you to burn the fat from your body.
If you’re noticing too much mucus in your stool or you’re suffering from diarrhea or constipation, it’s a sign that your detox pathways are blocked. In order to unclog them and resolve the problems, you need to follow certain rules. There is a way of decongesting your body naturally – you should eat a healthy diet rich in fiber and anti-inflammatory foods and try the recipe you can see below.

These ‘Plastic’ Bags Are Actually Made of Potato & Tapioca – and Can Become Animal Food on Disposal!
by Tanaya Singh
December 5, 2016, 4:06 pm
Picture this – a cow gulps down a carry bag discarded in a field. The bag is white and looks like plastic. But don’t worry about it killing the cow. It actually does – nothing! Find out why.
The partial or total ban on plastic bags in several Indian cities is often lauded as a welcome move by most people. As it should be! But if you ask those who cannot afford alternatives like cloth bags (or forget to bring them to the market) – using just hands to carry eggs and vegetables home can be a juggling act. It was this problem faced by ordinary citizens that disturbed Ashwath Hegde, a Mangalore-born but now Qatar-based NRI entrepreneur.
“The Mangalore City Corporation implemented a ban on the manufacture, sale, and distribution of plastic bags in the year 2012. But the decision was taken without preparations for alternatives. People were concerned about how they would carry products from the market now. Everyone cannot afford a bag worth Rs. 5 or Rs. 15 to carry a kilogram of sugar. I decided to come up with alternatives after hearing about these problems in my hometown,” says the 25-year-old.
After researching the problem for about four years, Ashwath founded EnviGreen – a company that produces 100% organic, biodegradable, and eco-friendly bags.

They look like plastic bags but are made of materials like natural starch and vegetable oil derivatives. If placed in a glass of water at normal temperature, an EnviGreen bag dissolves in a day. And when placed in a glass of boiling water, it dissolved in just 15 seconds! These bags take less than 180 days to biodegrade naturally once discarded. So users can throw them away without worrying about harming the environment. The bags are even edible and will cause no harm to animals if ingested.

Ashwath, who has patented EnviGreen, claims the manufacturing process for these bags is entirely different from that of plastic, cloth, or paper bags. The company uses 12 ingredients, including potato, tapioca, corn, natural starch, vegetable oil, banana, and flower oil.
All raw materials are first converted into liquid form and then taken through a six-step procedure before the end product is ready.

“We don’t use any chemicals at all. Even the paint used for printing on the bags is natural and organic,” says Ashwath. He adds that the cost of one EnviGreen bag is about 35% more than that of a plastic bag, but 500% less than that of a cloth bag. “To give you a rough idea, an EnviGreen bag measuring 13 inches by 16 inches costs Rs. 3, while a plastic bag with the same dimensions will cost Rs. 2”.
The Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB), which has approved the use of these bags, conducted several tests to ensure there were no plastic elements in them. The tests included placing a hot iron on a small piece of EnviGreen sheet. The sheet neither melts nor sticks to the hot iron surface. The bags also don’t melt, drip, or release any toxic fumes when burnt, unlike conventional plastic bags. They have been tested by the Central Institute of Plastic Engineering and Sriram Institute for Industrial Research as well.

To prove his point, Ashwath has even consumed a bag after boiling it in water to show that it is edible.

With his team of 60 people, Ashwath has now set up a factory in Bangalore that produces 1,000 metric tonnes of bags every month. “We had this unique idea of empowering farmers in rural Karnataka by sourcing all our raw materials from them. We are also planning to distribute seeds to help them produce the amount of materials required to make the bags,” he says.
Currently, the company has not started sales in India, but the bags are already available in Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
“Just the city of Bangalore consumes over 30,000 metric tonnes of plastic bags every month. So we want to set up enough manufacturing facilities before we start distributing to individual customers and local kirana shop owners. We have started supplying to corporate retail chains like Metro and Reliance, which will start using the bags from December this year,” says Ashwath.
According to the Minister of State for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, 15,000 tonnes of plastic waste is generated in India every day, out of which 9,000 tonnes is collected and processed, while 6,000 tonnes is not collected.

Once available for use, EnviGreen bags will not just help ease this problem but also help many consumers struggling to find a balance between their concern for the environment and ways of making things more comfortable in their daily lives.
