Obesity, even in developed countries, is not about over-eating; rather, it's about poor nutrition. The point here is that a lack of minerals makes you fat, and exercise is a major cause of a lack of minerals. You can suffer from a lack of minerals by eating junk food or by doing exercise, or from any mix of the two.
" Americans are overfed and undernourished. That's right, the most obese children and adults in the country are also the most nutritionally deficient ". Source: Gillis L, Gillis A. Nutrient inadequacy in obese and non-obese youth. Can J Diet Pract Res. 2005 Winter;66(4):237-42.
The dramatic loss of minerals caused by exercise cannot be easily replaced by taking mineral supplements or by switching to a more nutritious diet. The amount of minerals that you lose in just a few days of sweaty exercise would take weeks or months to replenish through diet or supplementation (assuming you ceased exercising). If you continue to exercise, no amount of nutritious food or mineral supplements will be enough to keep up with what you are losing.
Clearly, those occasional moments of a little sweat that we all experience will not cause any lasting harm providing we have a nutritious diet and generally avoid exercise, saunas, and undue stress.
When you see a person who regularly sweats (e.g. through regular exercise or taking saunas) you are looking at a person who is chronically short of a wide range of vitamins and minerals essential for good health. Avoid saunas!
Furthermore, exercise dramatically increases toxicity in the body and the risk of cancer. The sequence of events goes like this:
1. When you pant for air through exercise, this results in less CO2, artery constriction, and less oxygen being assimilated into the body.
2. This deprives the mitochondria in body cells of sufficient oxygen.
3. This kills enzymes in the cell and the mitochondria can no longer produce energy (mitochondria exist to produce energy).
4. In the face of oxygen starvation, the mitochondria rely on sugar fermentation (as a last resort) to survive. But such sugar fermentation turns the cells cancerous. These then cancerous cells produce lactic acid which infects the surrounding cells with toxins and destroys them as well. This is the basis behind the spread of cancer in the body. This is the direct link between breathless exercise and cancer!
5. So when you hyperventilate or become breathless you damage mitochondria, leading to cancer and other serious illnesses. Damaged mitochondria are at the root of body aging, general poor health and pre-mature death.
Coming back to the myth of detoxification, if you cannot remove toxins through diet, exercise, sweat, fasting or anything else, then what can you do to remove toxins from your body? The answer is simple: eat a regular nutritious diet that avoids junk food, switch from exercise to non-sweaty physical activity, and let nature takes its course (your body will expel harmful toxins through the natural elimination processes of the body). It goes without saying that you should also avoid polluting your body by avoiding pollution in all its forms, including not smoking, not taking drugs, not drinking alcohol and not breathing polluted air.
