Eliminating Toxins

Eliminating Toxins Through Water

Step 1: Assess Your Water Source

• Well Water: If you have access to well water, test it to ensure it meets optimal drinking standards. Focus on ensuring little to no chlorine content.

• City Water: If well water isn't available, consider investing in a Berkey water filter. While it may seem pricey upfront, its durability and ability to remove chlorine through prolonged filtration make it worth every penny.

Step 2: Consider a Whole-House Filter

For those struggling with acne or hair loss, remember that the water you bathe in matters just as much as the water you drink. A whole-house filter ensures that every drop of water touching your skin and hair is free from harmful toxins like chlorine.

My Experience

Growing up, I relied on well water that tested as optimal for drinking and daily use. The results were evident:

• Clear skin

• Shiny, thick hair

However, moving to the city for college introduced me to heavily chlorinated water. The change was immediate:

• Persistent breakouts

• Significant hair loss

I tried a shower filter from Amazon, but it failed due to insufficient water contact time. My solution? A Berkey travel filter. I used the filtered water for washing my face and hair, and soon after:

• My skin cleared up.

• My hair fall diminished significantly.

Eliminating Toxins Through Food

What to Avoid

1. Processed Foods: Replace them with homemade, whole-food alternatives. More on this in future posts!

2. Seed Oils: Say goodbye to soybean, canola, and sunflower oils.

3. Iodized Salt: Opt for Himalayan salt or sea salt for better flavor and health benefits.

4. Aluminum Cookware: Switch to cast iron, glass, or stainless steel.

5. White Sugar: Cut it out! Substitute with maple sugar, raw sugar, or honey.

What to Add

• Fermented Foods: These are game-changers for gut health. Start simple: add yogurt or kefir to your diet to rebuild your gut microbiome.

By making these changes, you're not just eliminating toxins but also setting the foundation for long-term vitality. Start small, stay consistent, and witness the transformation!
