Dr. Stewart Lonky says these are all good moves on your part. But, with 84,000 chemicals in commercial use right here in the U.S., there is simply no way for you to have overcome your toxic burden.
You're taking in toxins just as fast as you eliminate them from your body.
However, you can continue to reduce your toxic load by recognizing where toxic components are prevalent.
Here are nine places that are high in toxic exposure:
- Hair Salons
- Nail Salons
- Cosmetics Counter at Department Store
- Gasoline Stations
- Commercial buildings that are “sealed”
- Indoor construction sites
- Antique furniture or used furniture shops
- New Cars
- Airports
