The Skin and Your Health

Your skin is the largest organ of your body and while it protects you internally from outside elements, it also performs several important roles in protecting your health.

Most of you are probably aware of its role in temperature control. When you get too warm, you start to perspire, which provides a rapid means of evaporative cooling. What many of you probably don't realize is that an important detoxification process also happens when you perspire as toxins are released through the skin along with the sweat.

Your skin is permeable, and can absorb toxins directly from the environment. The skin has the ability to excrete toxins. Certain practices seem to dramatically encourage this process. Regular use of a sauna, steam bathes, and getting facials on a regular basis encourage the discharge of toxins through sweat. The body stores many toxins in fatty tissue. Sweating therapy reduces fat stores quickly, releasing these poisons for excretion through the stimulation of receptors in the fat. In fact, detoxification is probably one of the healthiest ways to reduce fat and lose weight. The use of a special diet, supplements and sweating therapy provides a fast exit for excess bulk and fat-soluble toxins that are stored in the body.

It's also important to take a good supplemental mineral tablet if you're taking more than an occasional sauna, as well as drinking plenty of filtered water. Use of loofahs or dry skin brushes can remove layers of dead skin and aid in unblocking pores. Aerobic exercise simultaneously increases the discharge of toxins through sweat and increases the metabolic rate at which toxins are processed by increasing the amount of oxygen, making the most of the skin's role in protecting health.
