Recommended steps to protect yourself from toxins in the environment:
* A quality multiple vitamin with extra antioxidants to decrease the potential of free-radical toxicity.* Eat organic foods as much as possible.
* Extra
vitamin
A
for a healthy immune system
and tissue protection.
* Beta
carotene
to reduce the carcinogenicity of chemicals.
* Vitamin
C
to protect cells and tissues against the effects of water-soluble
chemicals such as carbon monoxide, metals such as cadmium, and metabolic
by-products such as carcinogenic nitrosamines made from nitrites.
* Vitamin E and selenium (200 to 300 mcg) work together to protect cells from pollutants including ozone, nitrogen dioxide, nitrites and metals such as lead, mercury, silver and cadmium.
* Niacin to help detoxify fatty tissues.
* Minerals, especially zinc, to help protect cells from toxins. Many detoxifying enzymes require zinc to work. When combined with copper and manganese, zinc also functions in the superoxide dismutase system, detoxifying the oxygen-free radicals thought to be generated from ozone and smog. Calcium and magnesium also help neutralize some colon toxins and decrease heavy-metal absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.
* A B vitamin complex formula with sufficient thiamine, pantothenic acid and niacin along with lipoic acid to help protect the liver and mitigate the effects of radiation.
* The sulfur-containing amino acid N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) to help neutralize heavy-metal toxins and toxic by-products of smoking, smog, alcohol and fats. N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) helps produce glutathione, a tripeptide essential to several important enzymes, particularly glutathione peroxidase.
* Methionine, another sulfur-containing amino acid which has mild detoxification and protective functions.
* Insoluble fiber such as wheat bran and soluble fiber such as psyllium to reduce metal absorption.
* Sodium
alginate from seaweed
to decrease heavy and radioactive metal absorption.
* Chlorophyll-containing
algae such as chlorella
and
Spirulina
,
for a mild chelating effect.
* Apple pectin to bind and clear intestinal metals and chemical toxins.
* Alfalfa, rich in chlorophylls, along with vitamin K, to reduce tissue damage from radiation exposure.
A lot of the toxins which we pollute our bodies with, are the result of our own behaviour and choices. Smoking, drinking alcohol, bad diet, not enough water, all those choices are decisions we make.
I was first introduced to methods of reprogramming the brain, and breaking through procrastination, by the popular motivational speaker Tony Robbins. Tony Robbins has helped me make marked improvements in not only my health but other aspects of my life as well. I highly recommend his life-changing programs.
