Daily exposure to potentially harmful chemicals is virtually unavoidable. Most 85,000 chemicals registered for production under the Toxic Substances Control Act were grandfathered in with little or no health and safety testing.

Medical conditions linked to toxic chemicals include obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cancers, and multisystem complaints such as fibromyalgia and multiple chemical sensitivity, as well as autoimmune disease.

Toxins are inevitable in your everyday life, putting your detoxification pathways under pressure. Your liver, kidneys, large intestine, lymphatic system, and sweat glands work together to reduce the buildup of these chemicals through detoxification. 

Of these organ systems, the liver plays one of the largest roles. The liver performs hundreds of functions and is needed to process nutrients and hormones, as well as remove waste products created as the result of normal body functions.

However,  there are ways that you can reduce your toxic exposure to lessen the burden on your system.

In today's Friday 5, I would like to share with you five ways to reduce your exposure to harmful chemicals.

Highlight's from today's episode include:

• Ways to reduce toxicity in the food you eat.  
• The best non-toxic cookware.
• The effect of plastics on your hormones. 
• Ways to improve the air you breathe. 
• What chemicals to look out for in your personal care products? 
• How to purify your water and reduce plastic exposure.
