An excess of toxins in your body can cause great harm to your overall health and wellness.

Toxins can enter the body in three ways: ingestion, inhalation, and absorption. In other words, you get them from what you eat or drink, what you breathe in from your environment, and what comes in direct contact with your body (usually the skin).  

Unfortunately, in today's upside-down world, toxins are all around us, and we have to be proactive in order to avoid putting them in our bodies. 

Take personal care products, for example. Many products on the market today contain harmful substances such as BPA, phthalates, parabens, and other lesser known toxins that are banned in other countries. Using these products can wreak havoc with our reproductive hormones, and cause a variety of other health issues such as asthma, allergies, obesity, diabetes, cancer, and DNA damage.  

Toxins can also be found in many popular processed foods, including breakfast cereals, snack foods, candy, desserts, sodas and sugary fruit juices.

Harmful ingredients such as artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners, as well as hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup can weaken your immune system, potentially leading to chronic illnesses including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer's.
