Are you enjoying the huge health benefits of activated charcoal? And no, I’m not talking about the kind you use in your outdoor grill, which is filled with scary toxins! Activated charcoal has been used since 1500 BC to assist with all types of ailments. Even the ancients knew about the amazing health benefits of activated charcoal.
It’s most amazing property is that it detoxes the body by trapping chemicals, toxins and poisons. This stuff has some serious detoxification power!
How Activated Charcoal Works
Activated charcoal traps toxins in its minuscule pores so that they can be safely eliminated from the body as it moves down through the GI tract. Charcoal is “activated” when it is reduced to a tiny particle size, which increases the surface area, along with its absorptive capacity. The porous surface has a negative electric charge which positively charged toxins bond to.
Rather than absorb the poisons and toxins, activated charcoal creates a chemical process called adsorption. Adsorption is the chemical reaction in the body when toxins bind to a surface, in this case, of activated charcoal. Absorption is the reaction in the body when chemicals, toxins, and even nutrients, are soaked up and assimilated into the bloodstream.
While it is a slight difference in wording, it is very important. It means that activated charcoal has the ability to attract toxics and chemicals in the body so that they don’t enter the bloodstream at all. When our bodies absorb toxins, they build up and cause illness, disease and poison us.
☻Cleanses digestive tract: Because of the heavy toxin burden we carry in our modern age, it’s important that we purify our digestive tract to maintain optimal health. Even those of us who work hard at eliminating toxins from our home are still surrounded by toxins in our daily environments. Activated charcoal removes the poisons in the digestive tract that cause oxidation, allergies and poor immune health. Detoxifying your digestive tract can do such things as improve mental function, improve energy levels and alleviate joint pain.
