- Having good quality water is so essential to our overall hormonal health.
- Having just two glasses of red wine a night can increase a woman’s breast cancer risk by 250%.
- This is how we want to support detoxification: We want to set the stage first by making sure our diet is really clean and that the food we eat is free from all these toxins and chemicals because we detox every single second of every day.
Action Steps:
- Use nutrition as a way to detoxify your body. Include a variety of nutrient-rich foods in your diet that will help support the detoxification in your liver.
- Eliminate the things in your environment that are bringing in the toxins and the chemicals.
- Support your liver by focusing on getting organic and local food as much as possible.
- Make that switch to cleaner and safer household cleaning products and beauty care items.
- Eliminate or reduce your alcohol and coffee intake.
