How Heavy Metals Affect Our Health and How To Help Remove Them

Our bodies are frequently exposed to heavy metals, which can be highly toxic without us even realising it. These harmful metals, including mercury, lead, and aluminium, are pervasive in our environment and can easily enter our systems.

Heavy metals can come from a variety of sources. Emissions from vehicles and industrial activities, pesticides and fertilisers, pipes and plumbing systems, and even certain paints contain these dangerous substances. Because many of these metals can seep into our food and water supplies, we often ingest them without being aware.

Exposure to heavy metals can lead to a range of serious health issues. Physically, it can cause symptoms such as brain fog, dizziness, and fatigue. Prolonged exposure can also result in damage to vital organs like the kidneys, lead to respiratory problems, increase the risk of cancer and neurological diseases including Alzheimer's disease. On a psychological level, the effects can manifest as depression and anxiety, further impacting overall well-being.

How you may be able to help remove heavy metals from your body

1. Include coffee enemas into your routine - The liver is our main detoxifying organ. With the increase in heavy metals exposure our livers may actually need help to remove these from our bodies. Coffee enemas can help to stimulate deep liver detoxification by boosting glutathione production by up to 700% and thus supercharges the cleansing of the blood. Glutathione is also shown to help remove heavy metals. Consider the Happy Bum Deep Liver Detox Bundle which includes Gut Greens and Gut Scrub which can help bind to heavy metals for safe removal.
   
   
2. Take Diatomaceous Earth - Diatomaceous Earth has a cleaning effect on the digestive system and can help to detox the body by removing waste, heavy metals and toxic build up. It’s like a broom for the body.
   
   
3. Eat dark green veggies - Greens are among the most effective foods for cleansing heavy metals, largely thanks to their chlorophyll content. Chlorophyll supports liver detoxification, boosts blood oxygen levels, and purifies blood cells. To help your body eliminate heavy metals, include a variety of dark green leafy vegetables in your diet, such as broccoli, spinach, cucumber, and celery. These vegetables can enhance your body's ability to detoxify and maintain overall health. If like many, you are too busy to get your daily greens in, you can try our Alkalising Gut Greens. Simply add to your juice or smoothie to drink, or you can use it in an enema or Happy Bum Bulb for faster absorption.  
   
   
4. Take a heavy metal supplement – While maintaining a healthy diet is always advised, there are occasions when it can be challenging to obtain sufficient vitamins through food alone. In such cases, supplements can be beneficial, especially since deficiencies in vitamins B, B6, and C are often linked to reduced tolerance of heavy metals. Adding these supplements to your routine may help support your body’s ability to manage and detoxify heavy metals more effectively.

While it's impossible to avoid heavy metals in our environment completely, we can take steps to remove them from our bodies and restore proper functioning. By implementing strategies for detoxification and supporting our body's natural elimination processes, we can help minimise the impact of heavy metals.
