Everybody from scientologists to health enthusiasts have been known to tell us all about how toxins can harm our bodies, and ultimately, how toxins can drag us down and cause us stress. There are of course skeptics, and there are medical professionals who are unsure of the benefits of detoxes. However, no one has disputed the harmful effects of things like air pollution, processed foods, and other things that supporters claim toxify your body. However, whatever you think, there are a few easy ways to detox your life. At the very least, avoiding certain types of extra steps like sleeping pills might help.
1. Buy different sheets
Something as simple as buying new sheets could get you in a more comfortable position and help you to avoid sleeping pills. Of course, this is not enough for everybody, but for some, the difference is just that small. Untreated cotton sheets taken from the dryer can make a more significant difference than you might think.
2. Avoid pressed woods
Pressed woods can contain formaldehyde, and avoiding these woods can help you to detoxify your life without much effort from you according to Dr. Laura Beane Freeman PhD, an investigator with the National Cancer Institute. In fact, Dr. Freeman has actually linked the formaldehyde in these woods to myeloid leukemia in factory workers.
3. Use a hose in your garden
If you happen to grow your own gardens, try something as simple as spraying your harvest with a hose instead of dousing your lawn with chemicals. It can be just as effective in certain ways, and herbacides made with corn gluten meal or vinegar can again be just as effective without all of the chemicals. You can also try setting your lawn mower to 3 inches or longer.
4. Choose organic foods
There are a lot of people who have never necessarily believed in the effects of organic foods, and there are quite a few people who believe that it’s just another way to charge you more. We can even see that logic. However, when you eat organic foods as it turns out, you consume fewer pesticides, which is actually healthier.
5. When it comes to dry cleaning
Cleaning fluid used in dry cleaning can lead to headaches, liver damage, and serious kidney damage. Eventually, this can even lead to problems with uterine cancer in lab animals. You should look for “wet cleaning” or carbon dioxide methods. However, if you choose to dry clean, make sure to keep clothes bagged on the way home and then air clothes out outside or in an apartment stairwell for an hour without the bags.
