Civilization brings in toxins, and the body can suffer after constant exposure to various chemicals. According to scientists, there are over thirty thousand synthetic chemicals in the environment. There are plenty of ways to experience chemicals that incorporated into our everyday lives.

Scientists recognized the danger of toxins a few decades ago. The leading expert, Samuel Epstein, stated that people exposed to thousands of toxins.

Sometimes people do not feel the silent influence and suddenly awake when got allergies, chronic diseases, or feel tired without reason.

I do not like scary stories about people who suffer and cannot help themselves. Unfortunately, it is a reality, especially if we do not pay attention to our surroundings, what do we eat, where do we live.

The movie Erin Brockovich paints a grim picture of what happens when people do not analyze events and agree with everything that told them.

Do people have the choice to change the environment or circumstances?

Yes, everybody can take care of the body in less or more extent. We can choose what to drink, eat, how to spend free time, get rid of bad habits, and select the tools that help us to protect ourselves against an invasion of various toxins.

Thee are significant areas where toxins lurk and can do real damages. These areas are:

•   Food
•   Air
•   Water
•   Electronics

Food

Everybody knows that can of Coca Cola contains eight spoons of sugar. Usually, people drink more as one can of sodas.

The majority of people understand that junk food does not bring any nutrients, only empty calories that become fat. However, fast food chains enjoy popularity and do not lack customers.

Gluten becomes a well-known risk to those who allergic to particular grains. It seems that gluten, according to Suzzane Somers, can “cause brain inflammation and increase  the risk for an autoimmune attack on your brain tissue.”

There are plenty of articles that point out the danger of chemicals to our bodies.

I guess that people do not believe or forget that everybody, who are rich or poor, can put real food on the table without harming the wallet and breaking a bank. Look at other countries such as Europe or Asia. You rarely will find obese people in such quantities as in North America.

Of course, with the help of new fast-food chains in some European countries, obesity can show up without a doubt.

 What do people can do about it?

•  First, recognize chemicals and toxins in the food
•  Find ways to get free from chemicals  in the meals

There are tools and techniques on how to protect ourselves from toxins lurking in the food, air, water, and from electromagnetic fields.

Magnesium helps detoxify from electromagnetic fields

Magnesium helps get rid of toxins

Air-cleaners provide fresh air without pollution

Water filters protect from toxins

The Internet is full of recipes on how to prepare food from scratch, how to preserve it, how to grow vegetables and fruits in your back yard.

You live in the city, and there is no way to grow your food? Farmer markets can help, or you can share with others buying food from farmers in larger quantities and dividing between themselves.

 How to recognize that food is full of toxins?

There is a simple rule which tells that if you do not understand what written on the label and cannot easily pronounce names of compounds, it means that you have the item stuffed with chemicals.

Our bodies do not need any chemicals. We need building blocks for successful metabolism. Toxins do not help organs or tissues to perform functions. The body adapts for a while but later on, expresses its disappointment giving us allergies or malicious diseases.

Do we need that? I do not think so.

 Water

To get a full picture of harm from water is advisable to watch the movie Erin Brockovich. It is entertainment and eye-opener at the same time. It does not cover all problems associated with water quality. It does visually paint the picture of naiveness and lack of information.

This movie opens the curtain in the one play with people’s lives. However, there are plenty of different toxins in the water.

Fluoride, chlorine, antibiotics, heavy metals are toxins that pollute our bodies. What stinks about them that these compounds accumulate in the body and do not want to leave us without proper detoxification.

 Air

Air is another way to get toxins. It is no secret that there is plenty of individuals who allergic to pollen or hay. For me, the smell of grass is unbelievable and tempting; to others, it is a running nose and puffy eyes.

Smog comes from cars, factories, fires, or mixture in between poses danger to our bodies in the long run. If we breathe once, lungs and bronchioles will get rid of disturbing material. Contrarily, when we continuously breathe in polluted air, we can develop various diseases.

Do you remember the horror movie”Fog”? It is about unnatural mist, which engulfed the coastal town. Everybody who stepped and wandered into the fog had been mysteriously killed.

Now, this type of movie become a reality. The University of California in Santa Cruz found out dangerous mercury levels in coastal fog.

The story started with a simple bicycle ride. The scientist felt that his eyeglasses get wet when cruising around. He decided to check out what is in the water. The lab run few times tests because of the disbelief that they found in it.  Before, it was the research of mountain lions. Scientists find in cats dangerous levels of mercury. How do lions get mercury in their system?

• Fog deposited mercury on the ground
• Lichen got it from the air because it does not have roots
• Deers eat lichen
• Mountain lions eat deers

Does it seem simple? Yes, it is a food chain. Unfortunately, the human is no an exception.   We eat plants and animals who feed on them too.

Mercury is a neurotoxin. There is no doubt that this element is not only one which can harm living beings.

 How does mercury reach fog?

Oceans distribute fog around the whole world. However, we can not blame oceans. Toxins come from the mining industry and coal-fired power plants. The researcher Weiss-Penzias states that “mercury is a global pollutant.”

 Electronics and electromagnetic radiation

It seems that nowadays everybody cannot survive without a smartphone, computer or video games. There is plenty of conveniences using these devices. However, there is a dark side too. The radiation from Wi-Fi can make people sensitive.

French scientists found out that people who continuously use phones for their work have a higher risk of getting tumors such as glioma and meningioma.

Besides phones, smart meters pose a danger to everybody who agrees to have installed close to the house. Extensive EFM radiation surrounds people 24 hours all year long.

Wi-Fi in public transportation, airplanes can disturb the wellbeing of many people.

Susanne Somers, a health advocate, cites Elizabeth Plourde, Ph.D. She points out that the number of people complaining about insomnia, migraines, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, and rashes on skin increased.

The famous doctor Stephen Sinatra states that EMF can disturb the heart rhythm, atrial fibrillation can occur, DNA damage possible. Experts think that EMF can open up the blood-brain barrier.

 A real story

Doctor Stephen Sinatra has a son who, a few years ago, was on the brink to a death. The doctor thinks that mysterious illness started after long hours spent in Wall Street, surrounded by cellphones. It was electrical pollution. His son’s digestive tract shut down, hormones too, pituitary gland was out. The father tried everything to save his son. Fortunately, he came back after lengthy treatment.

Not everybody is lucky as the doctor’s son. Sometimes people lack money for simple things.

 Wrapping Up

We cannot live in caves or in places where is no civilization. However, we can escape the side effects of living in the cities and industrial areas.

 How to do that?

•  Use filters for water. Do not depend on bottled water only because of the possibility of getting harmful substances.
•  Use air purifiers
•  Check food labels, and make meals from scratch, try to eat mostly organic food. The store ALDI is good with prices of clean eating.
•   Detoxify body with the help of knowledgeable health practitioner
• Protect yourselves from mold, home cleaning chemicals, aggressive paints, or chemicals in carpets.

How is bottled water safe? Do we need to worry about it? What is better: tap water or bottled water? Bottled water gained popularity when some celebrities endorsed it. Before them, Nestle introduced a single-use PET bottle that attracted customers. Americans spend $31 billion last year on bottled water.

Why people prefer bottled water over tap water?

 Water safety

One of the biggest reasons is water safety. Plenty of people think that municipal water could be contaminated with chemicals, especially with chlorine, lead, or arsenic. Besides, the bottled water industry ignited fears pointing out tap water is suitable for irrigation and cooking.

Avoidance of sugary drinks

Another reason to choose bottled water is the willingness to avoid sugary drinks.

Yes, people in this way are right because of sugar consumption that leads to chronic diseases.

The usage of sugar creates plenty of problems besides diabetes and obesity. It removes vital nutrients and creates an addiction consuming more sweets.

 Commercials and online influence

The third reason is the constant commercial that points out about benefits and convenience of drinking bottled water.

The reality check-up

Consumer Reports found out as they always do what facts regarding bottled water safety are telling a different story.

IBWA or so-called International Bottled Water Association turn facts upside down when asked about test results.

For example, in 1999, the IBWA website posted a question:” Does bottled water contain any harmful chemicals that can pose a threat to human health?”

Overall, it would be strange that they would answer yes. However, according to Consumer Reports,

federal records show that in the 1990 there were around 50 recalls of bottled water for excessive chlorine, mold, and fecal coliforms.

 What do you think about how IBWA  answered what?

They pointed out that it meant to be “general nature,” and there was no risk to human health.

Overall, I think that they have a strange sense of humor. Why? Fecal coliforms show that something is fishy with the treatment of water.

Wikipedia explains it perfectly:

In general, increased levels of fecal coliforms provide a warning of failure in water treatment, a break in the integrity of the distribution system, possible contamination with pathogens. When levels are high there may be an elevated risk of waterborne gastroenteritis. Tests for the bacteria are cheap, reliable and rapid (1-day incubation).

Independent tests showed in 1999 that 1 in 4  of more than one hundred brands violated California limits for arsenic or other carcinogens. You do not need to be a scientist to know about the harm of arsenic.

This stuff, I mean arsenic, is found naturally in Earth’s crust, water, air, animals. However, inorganic arsenic can be dangerous because of the nature of how it was produced. Industries use arsenic for various purposes, such as in smelters or for herbicides and pesticides.

 Is a plastic bottle safe?

Nah, especially if these plastic bottles kept in hot areas such as in the sun. Studies show that antimony trioxide, a carcinogen, may be released into the water if bottles are kept too long, such as five days. Federal limits are 167 degrees after five days, but in some cases, it happens after a few hours.

Think about plastic bottles left in the car on the hot summer day. I saw some people put these bottles back into the cooler and reusing them again. No wonders why various environmental illnesses surround us.

Consumer Reports have a story about the study made in 2019. It shows that microscopic pieces of plastic could leach toxins into the water. People, who drunk only bottled water, consumed on average, 90,000 microplastics annually. Individuals who guzzled only tap water got only 4,000.

What is horrible about these tiny pieces of plastic is what they help create reproductive problems, obesity, and other nasty things.

How does tap water become bottled water?

A few years ago, I heard saying that bottled water is the same as water from the tap. Previously I sneered at the tap water because of lack of knowledge. I was happy with San Pelegrino, which comes in glass bottles.

Thankfully,   my wallet and my body got better alternatives because of learning about the benefits of minerals.

I will talk about it later, but for now, let’s check how tap water becomes suitable for famous brands.

I never was crazy about  Coca-Cola, except the company’s commercials at Christmas time and beautiful design of bottles or about Nestle, which strips communities and lakes taking water for their own needs.

However, when I read in Consumer Reports article about the usage of tap water by these famous brands, I was confused. Is it a crime or just fooling of consumers giving tap water names such as Dasani, Aquafina, Poland Spring, or Zephyrhills Natural Spring Water?

Yes, you understand, right.

Companies use water from the tap, create a brand name, and make a nice profit. Besides, companies such as Nestle drain out lakes, the resources of local people.

How about tests of bottled water

According to Consumer Reports, “Government regulators generally don’t test bottled water themselves, and bottled water makers aren’t required to publish their results.”

Besides, companies are not responsible for making the results of tests available to the public.

 What does it mean?

It means that there is no consumer protection at this point. You depend on the generosity and sanity of manufacturers who can be honest or think about profits. You heard plenty of stories about how people were left behind when something serious happened. The city of Flint is one of having this reputation.

Of course, I  doubt if tap water from Flint could go into bottled water because of the color. However, there are plenty of toxins that do not appear visible to the human eye.

 Funny story about Fiji water

It is op to you decide how much fun is here, especially if you would be a customer who used this particular Fiji bottled water.

At 2006, Fiji had an ad which stated that water is good in bootle because of the different origin, not taken from the tap in Cleveland.

Officials in Cleveland did not get excited over this statement and checked their tap water and water in Fiji bottles.

 What do you think they found?

Cleveland’s municipal water was good. Fiji bottled water had arsenic in it. How about that?

Here is a peak of Fiji’s reaction to findings. The company told us that it was only a joke. Uh!

Let’s see how  tap water can serve for us

The majority of the USA have access to safe tap water, except in some communities, there are real problems. The lack of investment in water systems leads to disasters such as Flint or in the Hudson, Mass.

It is good news for tap water users that systems that provide water to 90 percent of the USA  consumers are safe. Only less than ten percent had at least one health-based quality violation.

You can learn about your tap water safety, receiving annual water quality, called the Consumer Confidence Report.  If you do not get one, you need to call the local water supplier. People who rent can ask reports from their landlords.

Testing kits

It is advisable to test the water using test kits because of lead danger. Why? Municipalities can provide excellent water to you, but lead can reach your water from pipes that go into your house.

EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) recommends using a certified lab. Sometimes communities can provide test kits free of charge.

Filters 

Filtering tap water prevents you from headaches and possible problems coming with contamination from bottled water or the tap, mainly if you do not test it.

Filters are various depending on the quality and price.

According to Consumer Reports, osmosis filters are the most reliable. They can remove arsenic, lead, bacteria, chlorine, and other chemicals.

It is essential to know and make sure that filters are certified to NSF International standards by an independent lab.

 What does it mean?

It means that these labs are not associated with manufacturers and not have influence from them.

 What do I use? 

Osmosis filters are too expensive for me, and they require a lot of space. I choose the Pure Earth Technologies Inc. filtration system. You can select various cartridges for your needs. The quality is excellent and price affordable.

If you would read more about water filtration and devices for it, please check this link.

 Wrapping Up

Water is the main staple for humans. However, we need to be conscious of the quality of it. As you see, there are no strict requirements from regulation agencies about testing. Bottled water seems convenient to use, especially when you see celebrities doing that. The majority of bottled water sold today appears to be safe.  However, you are the most important person who must have the responsibility for your health.

It is an adage about first taking care of yourself, and then later on that others will help you too.

Having filters at your home or the renting place will save you from the problems being sick and at the same time will save you money when you refill your glass bottle without the need going to the store.

I add some magnesium ReMag and some of the Himalayan salt. It is a perfect drink that gives benefits not just for the body but for the mind too. Would you like to read about the best magnesium supplement? Check this link here.

If you have questions or remarks, please leave a comment.

Spirulina, blue-green algae is a fantastic source of nutrients. Does Spirulina help you lose weight? Yes, especially if you exercise and consume all the vital nutrients, your body can do it quickly and without unpleasant feelings.

It is good to know that nothing happens overnight. It may be just pleasant dreams, which come and go about the proper shape on the beach. Everybody, who wants to lose weight, must have a plan and follow health practitioners advice. Why do you need that?

Usually, overweight people have not just plenty of unnecessary fat around the belly, but they can be prone to diabetes and heart problems. It is useful when somebody watches over you. Anyway, Spirulina does not harm anybody and never will, primarily if you will use organic brands.

Why organic?

Organic means that the source of nutraceutical food checked thoughtfully and diligently. There is no chemical residue and toxins. Labs are responsible for delivering results and giving answers about the product. If something is wrong, nobody will approve the food supplement as the organic one. Organic means that you get the best product, which does not harm you.

     Think about it why you gain weight?

•  Bad relationship?
•  Plenty of junk food?
•  Genes?
•  Staying against TV or playing video games?

Nobody gains weight starting from nothing. Unnecessary food and bad quality of it adds plenty of calories. Think about sugary drinks. I think that the whole world knows that in one can of soda usually is at least eight spoons of sugar. Okay, maybe now manufacturers are smarter and they but different sweeteners which are worse.

Why?

Because artificial things are unfriendly to the body, look at animals. Dogs and cats become fat because we want to express our love for them and feed with everything that animals ask. Have you seen these pleading eyes of your furry friend when you took icecream fro freezer? How can you stand away and do not feel guilty indulging just yourself? Why do I talk about it?

Because of all these things which look innocent, the usage of it leads to obesity. Empty calories do not give the body vital nutrients. The body craves it. It is a vicious cycle, which we can break with the help of Spirulina. Having Spirulina as the nutraceutical food you will provide for vital body nutrients. You will have calories which will be used for energy and the body’s building blocks.                                                                                                                                                 You do not need fat around your belly or waist. It happens when empty calories from junk food go the storage in the shape of fat. Read the story about this guy. He won his war using will and calculator in his brain. He does not need many pizzas and bottles of soda. Now he can go to the gym and pick clothes which look good on him. Another guy won his fight too, but it took for him longer to understand that is going on.

 Benefits of Spirulina

• Spirulina has plenty of proteins. There is 85-95 digestion from the Spirulina
• Spirulina has few calories. Ten grams of Spirulina has only 36 calories. One egg contains 300 mg of cholesterol and 80 calories.
• Spirulina is rich in vitamins. This blue-green alga has vitamin A, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, pantothenic acid, inositol, and biotin.
• Spirulina contains organically bounded minerals.
• Spirulina contains iron. Its quantity makes Spirulina wealthiest iron source.
• Spirulina has plenty of pigments which help synthesize enzymes. Enzymes are proteins which participate in the body’s metabolism. However, enzymes vanish in the high temperature. It means that organic Spirulina serves best because the process is regulated to preserve all best qualities of algae.
• Besides enzymes, which help with the body’s metabolism, Spirulina contains a particular one protein, which fights against free radicals. Enzyme called superoxide dismutase (SOD).
• Spirulina is low in sodium. Most of the foods have hidden salt and sugar inside them to give a better taste. The body does not need so much.
• Spirulina contains 225 mg of essential fatty acids. These acids are crucial for cholesterol level normalization. Essential fatty acids are precursors for hormone compounds, called prostaglandins.
• Fatty acids in Spirulina come in the form of linoleic and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). GLA is a precursor for hormones which control functions such as the blood pressure. Have you seen an obese person with low blood pressure?
•  Spirulina contains trace minerals such germanium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, copper, calcium, and manganese.

How does Spirulina help with weight loss?

 Taking Spirulina, you do not crave for vital nutrients. More in detail, your body does not need nutrients. We eat plenty of junk food because it is full of empty calories without the necessary materials for the body to function well. You can not build the house on marshmallows; you need steady bricks and good wood.

We take our bodies for granted. Here we make big mistakes, especially if we do not care what do we eat, what do we drink and how we act are.

There are plenty of diets, but weight loss can be harmful, and the weight comes back. Why? The body is smart and requires resources to survive. If you give good stuff such as Spirulina, you will not gain weight.

You will be energetic, without additional pounds and with the improved self-esteem. I know that Spirulina is not a tasty one.

You can put it in a smoothie, which consists of vegetables. Adding some cacao powder and stevia, which is a natural sweetener, you will have a pleasant experience.

Why do I not offer fruits? Fruits usually have plenty of sugar. Of course, it is a natural thing. However, when you are obese, you do not need to put additional pressure on your pancreas and liver.

 Conclusion

You can lose weight with Spirulina. Remembering that one guy in Japan lived 15 years eating only Spirulina, you can deal with that few of weeks. Consult with health practitioner regarding your health. People who are not dangerously obese will benefit from Spirulina. However, maybe you need additional sources to support your body during the transition.

The supplement bundle from Dr. Carolyn Dean is an excellent way to get all necessary elements and feel good. You can take a look here.

What do you think about Spirulina? It would be nice to hear from you.
