While it is not easy to completely eliminate the chemical substances from your home or environment, you can take certain precautions by making a few alterations in your lifestyle.
Doing so will reduce the exposure to toxic components and reduce health risks for your family members.
Wash your hands before eating
It is crucial to wash your hands before eating to prevent yourself from getting unnecessary toxic elements getting into your mouth. Not washing your hands before eating could make heavy metals get into your body, which may lead to several health issues.
Workout to reduce toxins in the body
Regular exercise helps the body flush out harmful toxins. Regular workout improves the functioning of the liver, kidney and other body parts as well as improves the lymphatic system, which works as the body’s natural defence against toxins.
Avoid the use of plastic
In addition to being bad for the environment, plastic bottles can be detrimental to your health as well. Plastic containers or bottles contain bisphenol A or BPA, which are highly disruptive to one’s endocrine system. Buying containers that are BPA-free contains other additives which are equally harmful. Endocrine disruptors like BPA adversely impact the body’s growth, metabolism and energy level.
Filter your water
There is an increase in exposure to all types of toxic chemicals because of industrial pollutants that run off into our water sources among other things. Therefore, having a good water filter is essential in reducing exposure to toxic elements.
