We are exposed to toxic chemicals most everywhere we turn, even if we are attempting to go green. It takes time to convert even 50% of our lifestyles, years perhaps. Where are these chemicals we might ask? Well for instance I just ordered a pair of boots (very very good price) for this upcoming winter season. When I took them out of their box (from China), they stunk, really smelled bad! They are still in their box w/ a crack to air them. Three months later they still stink & still very badly. Because I purchased them during the summer, at such a good price, from an online retailer, there is no chance of returning them~because they stink. Perhaps a stay outdoors might help with their issues? The reason for their odor: chemicals, God knows what sort. All I know is, if around them too long, my head begins to hurt. I was in a shop recently w/ 99% of their inventory from Asia (you know which country), I had to leave for the toxic fumes in the air where deadly, I felt for the staff working there~Old Navy. What I am getting at, is these newly introduced chemicals as well as the old standards are all around us, in our bedding, foods, clothing, water & so on.
One more simple way to help our bodies be better while even fighting off some of this chemical exposure: Superfruits! Here are a few to try: acai, goji, noni & mangosteen & rich in vitamin A~kale. Would love to know how you incorporate them into your day to day diet? Let us know...
