There is no question that our environment has changed dramatically over
the past few decades. The influx of thousands of toxic chemicals that
seep into every aspect of our lives wreaking havoc on our bodies can
seem daunting, but research now shows that by making simple changes, we
can
dramatically reduce exposures to many harmful chemicals that we eat,
breathe, and lather on our skin.
Non-Toxic is a practical guide to living healthier in our modern
environment. It teaches how to reduce chemical and radiation exposures
by recognizing potential threats and paying attention to what you eat,
breathe, and put onto your skin. Written in clear, easy-to-understand
language and based on
scientific evidence, this book is filled with resources, tools, tear-off
sheets, recipes, and practical, cost-effective tips designed to help
you:
