7 Ways to Get Rid of Toxins in Your Body!

Let's talk about number one. You have to get outside, you have to breathe fresh air, you have to see sunlight. There's actually detoxification processes that happen when you go outside and breathe fresh air, open your windows on a regular basis. Because everything inside of our houses and our cars, they have toxicants that accumulate in the air and it becomes very concentrated and we breathe it in and it goes straight into our bloodstream. Just the same way that you breathe in oxygen, it goes straight to your bloodstream because your lungs are filled with millions of these capillary beds of all of these tiny little blood vessels that are ready to suck in the oxygen. All of that blood flow in your lungs sucks in all those toxicants as well. So it's really important to circulate the air in your house, open the windows, get fresh air. Because especially newer houses that have just been built or carpet or new furniture, you probably have noticed that smell like it's really toxic and that just off gases continually for a long, long time. Older houses or newer houses sometimes can have mold that becomes too much of a toxic burden if you don't have air circulating, old lead, paint, wallpaper, all of these things. So open your windows, don't just use the air conditioner. Otherwise you're recirculating those toxins and continuing to breathe them in. Here's another big one. Don't take the cash register receipts. I had to teach my kids this one when we went to Disney last week because everybody wanted to give us receipts. Those receipts are actually covered in a bisphenol A or bps. Those are toxins that get absorbed directly into your skin. And if you are someone who works with receipts like it's your job to hand people receipts, consider wearing gloves. And definitely don't use alcohol sanitizer to wash your hands for frequently. And then grab the receipt because that actually increases the absorption of that toxin into your system. So I felt so bad for all of the store workers through Covid when I would see them putting that alcohol sanitizer on their hands, grabbing the receipt and handing it off. Try not to do that. Try your best to get an email receipt or handle it very minimally because those toxins go straight into your system and wreak havoc on your hormones. Leave your shoes at the door when you come home. There's actually a lot of toxins outside in your yard, on your lawn, on your driveway, your cement, there's weed killers, lawn fertilizers, heavy metals from the dirt and the snow, salt. If you live where I live, These can all get transferred to the carpet and then get absorbed by us, especially small kids. So if you have kids who play on the floor, who are learning to walk or crawl or your pets, bring all of this stuff in. Just kind of be mindful of that. I personally don't use pesticides on my lawn because I don't want them anywhere near me because they do seep in and they get into places that you don't want them. So. So just kind of be mindful of that one. Okay, here's another big thing that I mentioned. Quickly stop buying air fresheners and scented candles if you need to use something like that because you want the smells in your house. Use essential oils. Those are clean. Anything that says fragrance on it is usually toxic because that is a generalized term that the FDA allows. When there's multiple chemicals put together and they don't have to list all of the individual chemicals, they just call it a fragrance. But those are very toxic and they cause major hormone disruptions. So please don't use the Glade plugins, the air fresheners, the little things that hang in your cars, or the, the candles with all the fragrances in them because it goes straight into the air, into your bloodstream. These are also obesogens, like I mentioned, where they. These are the ones that like to distribute into your fat cells and keep you fat so you get that dreaded weight loss resistance. You just can't get rid of the weight. So those got to go. Let's see. Switch to organic food. When you are eating anything that's made conventionally, you're getting pesticides, genetically modified foods. Those are where the food has been genetically changed, usually with a pesticide or some form of chemical so that insects are less likely to eat them. But that also not only kills the insects, it kills us. So please try to eat organic as much as possible. Try to get clean meats where they're raised without antibiotics or growth hormone. Cows should be grazing on the grass. They should be grass fed. Chickens should be free ranged. And fish should be wild caught, not farm raised. And then drink lots of clean water. But I want you to drink out of glass or stainless steel preferably. Please try to avoid plastic water bottles as much as you can, because plastic continually leaches those chemicals into the water. Even if you don't let your water bottle heat up, it probably has been sitting in a warehouse for six to 12 months with WHO knows what temperature. And that entire time those plastics are leaching into that water before you drink it. So it's super important to keep your plastic water drinking to a minimal. Just do that when you absolutely have to, and then filter your water as much as possible. Let's see. Eat the rainbow every day. Actually, the colors of your fruits and vegetables are associated with different phytochemicals, phytonutrients that are antioxidants. They go round and clean house. They get rid of all the dead cellular debris and broken DNA, all the damaged cells that help combat these environmental toxicants. So eating the rainbow is super important.
