What are toxins?

Toxins are bad stuff that can hurt your body when you get too much of them.

Imagine you're eating candy, it's sweet and fun. But if you eat a whole bag all at once, your stomach might feel sick. That’s kind of like what toxins do. They’re like extra-strong candy, not always bad, but too much can make you feel icky.

Think of your body as a robot that needs just the right amount of fuel to work well. Toxins are like extra fuel that messes up the robot’s gears. They come from different places, sometimes from food, sometimes from the air, or even from things you touch.

For example, if you eat too many spicy peppers, your mouth might burn. That burning feeling is a little bit like what toxins do, they can make your body feel uncomfortable.

Sometimes, toxins are hidden, just like a sneaky bug hiding under your bed. You might not notice them at first, but over time, they can make you feel tired or even sick.
