Go green is not just about saving the planet – though that’s certainly reason enough. It’s also about protecting and improving your health and the health of your family.
Now that sounds like a big claim, but it’s true. Toxic overload is the single greatest factor in most health problems including allergies, autoimmune and systemic diseases, and symptoms that doctors just can’t explain…even psychological problems!
Anyone Can Be Affected By Toxins
You don’t have to live near a toxic waste site or near factories to be seriously affected by toxins. They are everywhere: in our cities and towns, on our farms, and pollutants have even been found in the waters of Antarctica.
Modern life exposes us to an unprecedented number of industrial chemicals and toxic substances. It has been estimated that around 36 billion kilograms of toxins are releases across the world each year, 18 million of them released in just the last decade.
The modern household can also be full of toxins and toxic fumes from varnishes, carpeting, compressed board cupboards, vinyl flooring, plastics, cleaners…even your tap water. If you read the labels on your packaged foods, you will find that almost all of them also contain toxins, often disguised as ‘colouring’ or ‘flavouring’ agents, and even your fresh food may have been sprayed, radiated, and chemically treated before it reached you. In fact, the quality of air in your home can be even more toxic than the air outside your home, as toxic fumes accumulate and become even more virulent in enclosed spaces.
