1. Avoid environmental toxins

In our list of 8 items to maximize your health, we'll start with Avoid environmental toxins.

I'm not going to get into genmod corn or fluoride in your water, you don't need to be a chemist or read an obscure scientific paper...just use that thing between your ears for more than a place to put your hat.

If you smoke, stop.  You know it's not good for you, you don't need statistics and warning labels.  Smoking is bad: stop.

If you're in your workshop sanding or playing with your hobbies or painting a room, wear a mask.  If you're spraying hairspray or deodorant, don't breathe.  If fact, why don't you quit using that spray can stuff altogether?  Common sense...if you're coughing, then stuff that's not good for you is getting in your lungs.  Yes, masks are inconvenient.  So is emphysema.

Wash food before you eat it.  You know that farmers use herbicides and pesticides.  You know those are poisons.  The only reason they use them is to kill things.  


Stop using pesticides and herbicides yourself.  Yes, we all want a green lawn without crabgrass.  But the stuff you're spreading is poison.  And you were out there spraying it on your lawn, wearing your flipflops, with the grandkids coming over to play.

Yes, I know the label says "safe for humans"....and they used to treat headaches with leeches.

Poison: they make it to kill things.  Stay away from it.  Keep your kids and grandkids and pets away from it.

If your work requires some type of personal protective gear, use it.  Not just when the boss is watching, but all the time

You can eliminate a huge amount of toxins just by paying attention and using your common sense. 

Live well, my friends.
