Toxins are organic poisons which when introduced into the body, are capable of causing disease. It could be of plant or animal origin. Several forms of toxins exist. It could be tetanus toxin, diphtheria toxin; both of which are of bacterial origin.
There is also a manufactured toxin called dioxin. In addition, there is muscarine; a toxin from mushrooms.
Toxins could be either from an external or internal source. Internal sources include some bacteria and yeasts which can introduce toxins inside the body and create illness. The external source includes a polluted environment, untreated water, some processed foods, and so on.
To maintain a healthy life and reduce the risk of being exposed to toxins, you can avoid eating processed foods and go for organic foods. Also, make sure the water you are drinking is clean and keep a clean and healthy environment always.
