Tips to Avoid Toxins

What steps can you take to protect yourself from chemicals and avoid toxins that create free radicals and oxidative stress?

~How about eating locally-grown, organic food as often as possible by shopping at Farmer's Markets! Wise Choice!

~You can supplement that by growing some of your own food, even if you live in a small apartment. You can grow tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet strawberries, in containers. Nothing tastes quite as delicious as eating a salad grown in your own garden.

~Cook more often and eat out less (plus you will save lots of $$$).

~How about getting rid of those harmful cleaning chemicals? For example, get rid of the Clorox and replace it with Hydrogen Peroxide!

Here's a little known fact: Chlorine and Hydrogen Peroxide were both invented during World War II. Chlorine was invented by the Nazi Scientists to take away life, whereas Hydrogen Peroxide was invented by the American Soldiers to preserve life. What a difference!

I use hydrogen peroxide in my laundry and I have had stains come off shirts (that clorox never took off) while protecting the fabrics.

~Many have gotten rid of cellphones and gone back to landlines with corded phones. This one is obviously not so practical in today's world but we CAN lessen use and protect ourselves with headsets.

The bluetooth headsets are actually the worst ones as they have been proven to actually increase the radiation to the brain. They may protect you while driving yet be frying your brain (the irony).

~Use high quality water filters and air filters

~Keep plants indoors to help clean air.

Now, obviously, we cannot avoid all toxins in our "modern" world. However, every little thing we do to reduce toxins does help.

As we know, toxins in the body create free radicals and free radicals (if not neutralized) will damage our organs and organ tissues which will lead to disease.

And we also know that the only thing that "destroys" free radicals are antioxidants, such as glutathione.

So the list above will help to reduce the amount of toxins (and free radicals), however, because of the overload of toxins, unless you live in a toxin-free paradise, you need to supplement your diet with high-quality supplements that will add to the antioxidant supply within your body and eat antioxidant-rich foods!
