sugar, caffeine, pesticides, addictive substances, etc. and less in
fruits and vegetables. These types of harmful substances is toxin. Our
body detoxified functions try to get rid of them everyday, when they
fails causing disruption of hormone production, damaging our body
detoxification organs and weaken our immune system resulting in hormone
imbalance and many chronic illness consequently.
II. Causes
A. Internal Causes

Our animals are grown in a crowded environment and fed by growth
hormones to perverse the maximum profits. No matter how restricted the
government regulations are, these traces of growth hormone still remain
in the animal body causing more harm than good. Although our body
requires protein and fat to function daily, overdose of red meat causes
cholesterol building up in the arteries, triglyceride in the
bloodstream, and high blood pressure resulting in heart diseases and
chronic illness.

improve mental alertness. Excessive drinking reduces the brain's
function, damaging our liver, decreasing the function of the immune
system and causing inflammation.
