How to Flush Toxins Out of Your Body?
Your body is a temple, but sadly it’s likely a heavily polluted one. No matter how healthy you eat and how “clean” you try to live, toxins are difficult — if not impossible — to escape. They’re found in food and water; they exist in your home’s carpeting, dust and couch cushions; they’re in your personal care products … they’re most likely even in the air you’re breathing right now. Over a lifetime, exposure to these toxins adds up, so much so that when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conducted the Fourth National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals, they found an average of 212 chemicals in the blood and urine of the U.S. population.
What Toxins Are Most Common? The CDC report noted widespread exposure to a startling array of chemicals, including:
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, which are fire-retardant chemicals used widely in household furnishings, children’s products and more Bisphenol-A (BPA), a chemical found in plastics and food packaging (including the lining of canned goods) Perfluorinated chemicals, including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), which is used in non-stick cookware Triclosan, an antibacterial chemical widely used in toothpaste, hand soap and other personal care products
