Ways Everyday Chemicals Harm Your Body
Bizarre and unexplained health symptoms can be extremely frustrating. If you’ve been trying to get to the bottom of a medical mystery, there’s a chance that exposure to everyday environmental pollutants might be at least partly to blame.
From the womb to old age, we are perpetually exposed to chemical pollutants. They hide in our air, water, soil, and food. We’ve known that everyday pollutants are damaging to human health, but new research out of Columbia University explains WHY.
The new study breaks down 8 different ways that chemicals in our environment harm the body. The researchers say these mechanisms also explain why complex mixtures of chemicals can create serious illness even at relatively low concentrations.
Here’s are the 8 ways chemical pollutants damage the body:
1️⃣ Oxidative stress and inflammation
2️⃣ Genetic mutations
3️⃣ Epigenetic modifications
4️⃣ Mitochondrial dysfunction
5️⃣ Endocrine disruption
6️⃣ Altered cellular signaling
7️⃣ Altered microbiome
8️⃣ Impaired nervous system function
Yikes. That’s a scary list when you put it all together and mix it up. It could certainly explain why more and more people are struggling to explain chronic pain, inflammation, headaches, insomnia, brain fog and find out the herbs for anxiety and depression, and more…
We have ways to test for environmental exposures and to help clear the body of harmful toxins. I also think that prevention is better than any medicine. That’s why I recommend a lifestyle to minimize your exposures and support your body in everyday detoxification. For example:
➡️ Choose chemical-free cleaning supplies and personal care products
➡️ Use glass or stainless steel instead of plastic
➡️ Use air purifiers and household plants to clean the indoor air
➡️ Drink plenty of water to help your body detoxify
➡️ Eat fresh fruits and vegetables for their antioxidant and detoxifying properties
➡️ Eat plenty of fiber to cleanse toxins from your system
➡️ Take supplemental nutrients to support leaky liver and healthy detoxification
➡️ Exercise and move your body to keep good lymphatic and blood circulation
