There are thousands of chemicals in our environment today, some estimates indicate a number as high as 80,000. Many of these chemicals have not been tested for human safety and have made their way into our water supply, our food, our air, personal products all of which can then end up in our bodies. As our bodies are overwhelmed with chemicals and toxins, our immune systems become overloaded and this can open the door for a health challenge.
In a similar line of study, the field of epigenetics has garnered much attention over the last several years, the premise being that genetics can predispose a person to a certain disease but whether that gene manifests as a disease can be directly influenced by the environment and other lifestyle choices including:
Adequate Sleep
Nutrition
Exercise/Yoga
Personal Care Products
Detoxification
