Identifying the 5 Common Toxins: Understanding What’s Lurking Around You
It’s easy to go through the day and not think about toxins! For the most part, we don’t see, smell or feel them. Or, if we do, we don’t often think about the impact they’re having on us. There are over 140,000 known toxins that have been developed and potentially many more that are unregistered. On any given day, each of us is exposed to anywhere from 100-400 toxins…more if we work in construction, live near a highway, or work directly with chemicals (manicurists, hairdressers, glassblowers, and many other careers fall into this category), work or live near an industrial plant, golf course or farm.
If you’re just starting to explore the toxins you’re exposed to, it can feel overwhelming. But remember…Rome wasn’t built in a day, and you don’t need to transform your life in a day, either! This is a process, and we’re going to ease into it. You can go as fast or as slow as you please! And it’s not a contest or race…unless, of course, you’re racing towards optimal health.
