Toxicity causes nutritional deprivation - and your body then craves more and more food, trying to get what it needs.

Artificial sweeteners may trigger cravings for other sweet foods. When your body is not fed nutrients, it asks again and again for more food, triggering heavy-duty cravings for fattening, sugary foods. Artificial sweeteners also mess with your metabolism.

The body needs food, warmth and water, but your heart needs more.

Your liver is your vital detoxification organ, and if it becomes overloaded with toxins from the food, drink, or medications you're consuming, you'll have more toxins circulating throughout your body, damaging your organs and glands. Detoxing your liver will help it work more efficiently - and help you slim your waistline.

Three cigarettes in, your body already craves it. It is that addictive.

There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.
