The world we live in is a more toxic place than ever before. In fact, over 80,000 toxins can be found that did not exist before 1960. Many experts feel that specific toxins can be blamed for many “new” medical conditions such as cancer, metabolic syndrome and ADD/ADHD to name a few.
The reason toxicity can be partially blamed for the obesity epidemic can be traced to hormonal imbalances and inflammation. While there is no way to completely avoid toxins, here are some strategies to limit your exposure and improve your detoxification abilities.
KNOW WHAT IS IN YOUR COSMETICS
A huge percentage of male and female cosmetic products contain Parabens. These toxins increase chances of breast and prostate cancer, lower sperm counts, raise estrogen and lower testosterone. Ironically, the metrosexual look is literally feminizing males. To check the safety of your cosmetic products visit: www.cosmeticsdatabase.com
MAKE SURE TO TAKE A QUALITY B VITAMIN
Vitamin B6 is one of the three leading deficiencies behind zinc and magnesium. B6 also has a large role in detoxification. The body relies on various amino acids to detox a number of toxins. Without B6, it is very difficult to absorb the aminos that are needed. My clients have seen success with Methylator Plus 3.0.
LIMIT YOUR USE OF PLUG-INS AND SPRAYS
While everyone likes their home to smell nice, many of these products contain high amounts of Phylates. While attending a seminar on Detoxification, lab analysis expert Mark Schauss talked about this subject. After meeting with a couple where the male had prostate cancer and the female had breast cancer, he was astounded when their blood work indicated a Phylate level of 17000% above normal. After some investigation, he found that the wife had a minimum of 2 fragrance plug-ins in every room of their home and was obsessive compulsive about spraying different scents through the home.
TAKE 3-7G OF GLYCINE EVERYDAY
This amino acid goes a long way towards helping you detoxify. It helps to detoxify petroleum, solvents, epoxy resins and cosmetic products.
EAT A HIGH PROTEIN, ORGANIC DIET
This tip kills two birds with one stone. You reduce your exposure to pesticides and food additives while giving yourself the nutrients needed to detoxify. We always suggest that clients get 50g of quality protein in before noon. The best hours for detoxification are from 11:00pm – 11:00am.
