You’d probably be surprised to know how many harmful toxins you are exposed to in your everyday products and foods. Our body is designed to detox from small amounts but the toxic buildup caused by days, weeks, and years of consumption can be very detrimental to your health.
Some of the effects of these toxins include; allergies, lower blood cell counts, infertility, birth defects, liver and kidney damage and cancers.
Pretty serious stuff, huh? Luckily, it is easy and affordable to make wiser decisions when deciding what to put in and on your body.
Step 1: Awareness! Hopefully this post will accomplish this! 
Check out the infographic below.
Step 2: Download the EWG healthy living app! This free app has rated more than 120,000 food and personal care products based on their potential harmful effects. It’s super easy to use and even has the option to simply scan a product and see it’s score!
EWG (Environmental Working Group) is a non profit organization whose mission is to use the power of information to protect human health and the environment.
They are doing great work and have tons of helpful information on their site.
Step 3: Next time you need to purchase something, go for a healthy, non toxic option!
Note: The only thing I put on my skin is organic, unrefined, coconut oil. It may not work for everyone but I love the easy of it, the smell, the feel, and how it moistures my skin. Also, I drink loads of clean water so that helps too!
