What we live in today is a world of chemical assault, this from the polluted air that we breathe to the tainted water we drink, to the health and beauty products that we use daily. What we need to do, this more than ever before is to begin living more naturally.
What we don’t know or often care about are the potential long-term effects of these harsh chemical pollutants. One thing for certain is they’re detrimental to our health and livelihood. Some are unaware, while others just don’t care of these fatal chemical preservatives.
These harmful products are found in our food, the water toxicity levels are high, and there are harmful chemicals found in our personal care products. There are steps that you can take, which the concerned are doing right now.
Any species which fails to live in harmony with it’s natural environment, will eventually become extinct. It’s a stark reminder of the volatility of mother nature, and we as humans need to alter our path.
Increasing Health Concerns
Just a century ago, one of the biggest major illnesses of our lifetime, the mighty “C,” affected just 1 out of every 50 people. Now it’s 1 in every 5 and closing in quick. What’s obvious is that it’s our lifestyles which triggers this.
Diet is extremely important to maintaining better health, but most continue to ignore this fact, choosing the path of convenient low-nutritional chemically processed fast foods.
The majority of the meat available today contains the same growth hormones which the animal was fed to spurt their growth. Obesity is on the increase, and it’s no surprise that the majority of those obese consumes these poor quality meats.
Regain Back Your Body
If you asked your body, it would scream for more fresh fruits and vegetables, preferably raw. Your body would want fresh filtered water and not from the tap. So do yourself a favor by not reaching for the soda, but for mineral water instead.
Tap water in some areas is one of the most contaminated ways on how we’re violating our body on a daily basis. What it contains are hormones, chemicals, and in some areas, sodium fluoride.
The Problem With Sodium Fluoride
Sodium fluoride is the chemical commonly found in toothpaste and our water supply, and the same compound that’s used in making insect repellant.
What most will do is confuse “calcium” fluoride with sodium fluoride. It’s the calcium fluoride which keeps our teeth and bones strong, while it’s the sodium fluoride which burdens our health.
Sodium fluoride is a by-product of the aluminum smelting industry, and is nothing more than toxic waste. For years, it’s been extremely expensive to dispose of, until industry decided it’s good for our teeth. Then they disposed it into our water supply, all without public notification.
What sodium fluoride does is it accumulates in the body over time, and it can cause serious health issues. It’s known to make our bones softer, so they’ll fracture more easily, this especially in the elderly.
Chemicals In Our Hair
What most don’t realize is how harmful the generic skin and haircare products that we use on a daily basis are. If you check the ingredients label, there’s one common chemical ingredient, sodium laurel or sodium (laureth) sulfate, to look out for.
This is a foaming agent that’s industrial strength, considered so harsh that it was originally used as an engine degreaser. What most don’t realize is that they’re scrubbing their skin and hair with something that’s strong enough to strip oil off a factory floor.
So it’s no wonder why we then spend additional money on face and body moisturizers to cure the dryness. To the conspirators, what they see is a connection, a cause and an effect. Buy more product.
What the manufacturers are doing is putting this chemical into our shampoos, bath foams, shower gels, face washes, toothpaste, etc, while also adding the same ingredient in the moisturizing products, depleting the skin further.
So it becomes vitally important that you check the labels, and avoid all products which contains the sodium laurel sulfate chemical.
Choose To Go More Natural
So once you stop using these commercially manufactured, chemically laden shampoos and skincare products, and then switch to more natural herbal infused solutions, your appearance will return back to its natural beauty.
Hair that’s constantly frizzy and dry, will now become curly, soft, and shiny. Skin which adopted wrinkles while becoming dry and brittle, will now become plump and supple.
When choosing to use organic aromatherapy based skincare products, the skin that was constantly shiny from all the chemical grease remnants and the additives from generic moisturizers, will once again become smooth.
The result being much younger looking crease free skin without blemishes, which doesn’t require any other products, as it appears natural and healthy in texture. Also choose to use toothpaste which doesn’t contain sodium fluoride.
It’s Your Health
Then begin complimenting your overall health by taking natural vitamins and mineral supplements daily. Always eat fresh, preferably organic fruit and vegetables, drink clear crisp filtered water. Many are now choosing to go vegetarian with the occasional lean meat for the protein.
Adopt a natural low-fat diet, which is complete with anti-oxidants, Omega-3, and amino acids, all essential nutrients for better health, all guaranteed to gradually begin repairing your body.
It begins with how much you value yourself and your health by what you choose to put into it. Your health along with your livelihood and longevity depends on it. You owe it to yourself and your family, this to alter your lifestyle and start to live as naturally as possible.
