The more sleep-deprived you are, the higher your levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which increases your appetite Sleep duration affects hormones regulating hunger — ghrelin and leptin — and stimulates the appetite.

The general goal to detoxifying the body is to cleanse, refresh, and restore the bowels, tissues, organs and cells of the body.  All cells have limited lifespan, so tissues and organs are in content flux. Blood cells get replaced every 30 days; other cells can last for years. So as well as consuming food to fuel life processes and replace worn-out cells and tissues we also have to detoxify and eliminate the waste products from these processes. The healthy human body comes with a healthy capacity to detoxify. But as we age, excess of poor food, alcohol, etc worsened by the lack of exercise can begin to strain and overwhelm the body's elimination and cleansing abilities. The main causes are: - Poor Diet. Too much: fried foods, sugar, refined carbs, alcohol, smoking, environmental toxins, etc.  - Sedentary habits (no exercise).
