Health professionals often talk about what you’re putting in your body with regards to nutrition, but what about what you’re putting on your body?
Are you suffering any of these: thyroid disorder; endometriosis; fibroids; PCOS; infertility, early onset menopause; breast, ovarian cancer; weight gain or obesity? Did you know that these could be as a result of the products you use on your skin, or the chemical products used to clean your home, among other things? Infertility and other hormonal disorders are at an all-time high, representing 1 in 7 women.
On average 60-65 % of everything we put on our skin soaks into our bloodstream and organs. This can increase up to 100% for underarms and genitalia and 100% with fragrance ingredients. Professor Marc Cohen of RMIT University, Melbourne states that: “Chemicals that our body cannot get rid of get stored in our fat. When our body is incapable of ridding itself of excess toxins, it creates more fat to store the toxins in thereby moving them away from our vital organs, including our brain.”
Approximately 140,000 chemicals are used in our world, around a third of which are known or suspected to cause cancer, mutations & birth defects or are toxic in some way. Of the 12,500, ingredients used in skin, beauty, hair and personal care products, only around 11% have been tested for safety.
Other examples of external factors include fumes we are exposed to from cars, to cleaning products, pesticides, and the electrical fields from your mobile phones, and WI FI exposure. While it may be less than easy to remove yourself from technology you can at least cut back, by turning it off at night.The endocrine system regulates the body’s growth, metabolism, sexual development and function.
Toxins like emotions can be passed on from generation to generation. In my practice I’ve found heavy metal toxicity to go back up to three generations and impact fertility. Have you inherited any hormone disrupters?
The latest scientific research is revealing that our current personal care choices, particularly that of the Mother, are impacting on the next generation. Neurodevelopmental disabilities, including autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia and other cognitive impairments, affect millions of children worldwide.
200+ synthetic chemicals are being found in new born babies umbilical cords. 200+ synthetic chemicals are being found in breast milk. Children are being born with more fat cells in their little bodies than ever before in history.
The solution is to always look for Certified Organic products. If you don’t want chemicals and toxins in your body, don’t put them on your body. Take charge of your health and make the right choices for your optimal wellbeing.
To help shift what you already have in your body, consulting a kinesiologist may help to identify the underlying contributing factors to your specific symptoms, and what it may need to start healing itself. Can you afford to put it off any longer?
