Your body constantly produces energy. With energy production comes by-products that need to be detoxified. It can be compared to a car running on fuel for energy and then producing exhaust fumes that need to leave the car. Even if you did not take in any junk from the outside world – which we all do! - you would still need a clean-up. If you don`t, the toxins interfere with how your body works. On top of what we produce as by-products, we are all exposed to toxins in the air we breathe, food we eat, products we use on our skin and in our home. We all have plenty to detoxify.

On top of energy production, your body is in a constant state of replacement and renewal. It is easy to see this when you look at hair and nails: you cut the older bits off and they just keep on growing seemingly out of the blue. In the same way you have a turnover of most of the cells in your body over 7-10 years. Scientist are digging in and discovering more on the intrigues of this body-renewal process and are learning that we renew much more than was previously thought. We know that we shed old skin cells and grow new skin all the time, replace all our red blood cells with new ones in a space of 2-3 months, regularly dispose of old white blood cells (immune system cells) and welcome brand new ones to replace them in our bodies, have a super-quick renewal of the intestinal lining, replace old lining cells of the blood vessels with new ones and so much more.

Even in our bones, heart and brain aged cells are constantly being replaced with new-born ones. This development of new nerve cells in the brain is essential for our brains to work right. As an example in the average adult, in one part of the brain called the Hippocampus, there are around 700 new nerve cells made every day. Imagine how many cells are made in the whole brain and in our bodies. The brain turnover is even seen as slow.
