Every day, our bodies are exposed to toxins in the air and the environment. Chronic exposure to toxins and heavy metals has been linked to allergies, autoimmune illness, cancer, and respiratory illness. We can minimize exposure through lifestyle changes. Modifying your diet, using herbs and spices when cooking that support detoxification, and adding fruits and vegetables to your diet that are high in antioxidants. Improving your water intake, to help flush toxins from your body. Choosing cosmetic and cleaning products that are free of known toxins helps to minimize exposure. A good resource for environmental toxins is the Environmental Working Group. They have a great app – EWG Healthy Living.
