Supporting Your Body's Natural Detox Organs Part 5 No 4. The Digestive System... The GI system plays a very integral role in ridding the body of toxins. Toxins ingested while eating are then broken down and excreted from the body. Another way the digestive system protects us from toxins is through diarrhea and vomiting. In the case of food poisoning, the body becomes very ill in an attempt to get rid of the toxic substance as quickly as possible. How to best support the digestive system? Probiotics: help to balance the bacteria in the gut. Daily Bowel Movements: Having regular BM's are extremely important as feces is how many of the bodily waste and toxins leave the body. To keep regular bowel movements, make sure you eat a balanced diet, including enough fiber and water. Please review the Bristol stool chart as reference for normal bowel movements.
