Authors Bruce Lourie and Rick Smith spoke to Mutsumi Takahashi about toxins and ways to remove them from the body, or ways to reduce ingesting them in the first place.
Here is their top ten list of suggestions.
- Use natural personal-care products that don't contain chemicals like phthalates or parabens
- Eat more organic food to avoid pesticides
- Drink the water from your tap! And lots of it!
- Use natural fibres and green products like low-VOC paints in your home and avoid products that might off-gas
- Eat more vegetables and less meat to avoid toxin-grabbing animal fat
- Sweat more--toxic chemicals like BPA and phthalates leave your body through your sweat
- Exercise!
- Avoid wacky quick-fix detoxes and optimize your body's natural detox mechanisms by adopting a detox lifestyle
- Buy less, buy green
- Support politicians who believe in a greener economy and organizations that work for a cleaner environment
