How to Detox your life in Modern Day Society?
How to detox your life in a modern society where it’s nearly impossible to avoid exposure to heavy metals, toxins and other impurities? These impurities enter your body and affect how it functions. They can damage your health, your immune system and your body’s resiliency.
Even with our best endeavours for maintaining a clean green lifestyle, it is nearly impossible to avoid all toxins. It’s not only about your exposure to toxins but also about your genetic tolerance to toxins.
Some people can eat healthy all their lives, yet die young, while others can eat all crap and unhealthy food, yet remain feel vital and remain slim. Our Genetic roadmaps are a complex matter, and if you are like me, with a very complicated gene-map, detoxing your body from toxins and reactions to foods and other compounds may be rather difficult.
I have done my gene tests with Amy Yasko in 2013 and according to these tests, I have the following methylation impairments.
CBS+- which regulates the enzymes that help assimilate homocysteine into glutathione
MTHFR this mutation is responsible for not assimilating folium into methylfolate
NOS+- helps regulate the ammonia detoxification path
COMT+- this gen is involved with the assimilation of dopamine into norepinephrine
MTRR helps assimilate homocysteine into methionine
BHMT takes control over the shortest route of the methylation process
Two hundred years ago, this mix of genes probably did not affect our health too much but in today’s world where global pollution, food pollution, GMO, vaccinations, mutated bacterias and stress overrule, which in turn make the weak spots in our gene roadmap more visible.
This complicated gene-matrix combined with a leaky gut syndrome, poor diet, chronic infections combined with an overload of toxins are triggering more and more auto-immune diseases. As I said in one of my previous posts, auto-immune diseases are on the rise and are becoming a global epidemic. This is very scary. We can help support our body methylations by eating the right type of foods that match your genetic problems. Also, try to eat organic produce and grass-fed cuts of meat as much as you can.
So where to start to detox your life?
A first thing you can do to help detox your life is by ditching toxic chemicals as much as you can. When you read other posts I wrote, you are probably already aware I am on a mission to create toxic chemical awareness globally.
So which chemical groups do we need to DITCH?
There are so many …
Heavy metals
Formaldehyde
Organic solvents
BPA
Vinyl chlorides
AND MANY MORE
You also need to take control of your diet, lower chronic inflammation and stress, take good care of yourself, be kind to yourself and others, and take care of your home and workspaces.
So how you detox your life and lower our toxic exposure in your house, and in your body?
Here is what I recommend :
Move every day (preferably outdoors)
Lifestyle also has an impact on your health and moving every day outside, reduces stress and counters depression. All of these lifestyle factors contribute to wellness, reduced inflammation and ultimately optimal health.
Humans are made to move, not to sit. Unfortunately, the sedentary lifestyle is a Modern-Day Time epidemic disease. Read more to find out why moving every day is so important to help combat chronic illness.

Self-care improves your overall health and wellbeing
Self-care is so important and, in many ways, it’s a lifestyle decision that contributes to optimal health. Eat and rest well, and incorporate as many healthy, holistic habits into your life as possible.
Reducing stress is a lifestyle change that is critical to staying healthy
Lessening the impact of chronic stress is a lifestyle change that is critical to staying healthy. A few small changes such as spending more time outdoors, relaxing, meditation and being more active, social and engaging has an impact on how I feel.
Drink filtered water (or ozonated water) and say NO to tap water
When I found out about the unlimited amount of heavy metals that come into our homes through tap water I immediately switched to filtered water and have never looked back.
You could also consider drinking Ozonated water in case you have your own generator. It has been one of my best finds for improving my overall health that adds more oxygen to your body, which prevents illness and increases disease-fighting antioxidants.

Protect yourself from Heavy metal toxicity
Heavy metals are extremely toxic and are a key cause of hair and health problem. Many of the heavy metals that we consume through the environment enter our systems either acutely, slowly or over time (chronic poisoning). Chemical and heavy metal toxicity have become one of the most persistent health threats of our era as they continue to assail your body on a daily basis. This toxicity can lead to damage to vital organs, hair loss or result in decreased central nervous and mental functions.
Detox your life by going to bed early; it’s important for your immune system
One of the simplest ways to maintain your health and detox your life is by getting enough sleep. Adequate sleep is generally considered to be 7 to 9 hours a night. For your circadian rhythm, it is critical to getting good sleep. P
Ditch sugar; a sweet killer which is 8 times more addictive than cocaine
The truth is that nearly EVERYTHING WE EAT IS LACED WITH SUGAR. Even supermarket meat and smoked fishes may contain sugar, although this isn’t widely known. Always look at the ingredients to ensure no sugars (sugar, glucose, fructose and so on are added. I found this really shocking once I started noticing this few years ago. I had no idea. If you want to lower inflammation and helping your body to regrow hair, it is important to cut out sugars.
Sugar is an inflammatory, sugar ages you and it may cause you digestive problems and many other health issues. Furthermore, research indicates that a diet high in sugar increases the risks of pancreatic and breast cancer.

Meaningful connections are important to detox your life
Modern living has changed the reliance on a community that humans knew for many centuries. Many people today live a very solitary lifestyle, not realizing that it can have a devastating effect on their health.
Detox your life by connecting with other humans, nature, and animals (pets) is vital to our health, optimal health and happiness.
