What's Really in your Tap Water?
Reduce your Toxic Load
The water that comes out of your tap looks clean and clear. Typically, the tap water won't harm you today. It's free from bacteria like E.coli and coliforms that can make you really sick.
Yet there are over 40,000 chemicals on the market, and only a few hundred are regulated in our drinking water.
Even worse, are the “forever chemicals” which take thousands of years to degrade. Roughly 4,700 synthetic chemicals, which have been in production and used in commercial products since WWII, including Teflon, Scotchgard, and firefighting foam. They have been linked to many diseases including cancers, liver damage, kidney disease, low birth weight, autoimmune disorders, and a host of other health problems.
Pollutants and toxins are everywhere, from the biological to the chemical, from the hazardous wastes and by-products of industry and agriculture to chlorine and disinfectants.
These chemicals make their way into the drinking water supply and can have a major impact on your health.

Clean The Air In Your Home
There are variety of air filters you can get for the whole house or for individual rooms. Their cost varies depending on the features they have how well they clean the air. One that I love is the G3 from Air Oasis. It uses ionic air to break down viruses, bacteria, mold, VOCs and odors. It sanitizes air and surfaces, is maintenance-free air and is easy to use.

Try to incorporate as many organic fresh fruits and vegetables into your diet and try to cook from scratch. Avoid prepackaged meals as much as possible and if you eat meat, try to buy hormone free or organic meats.
