We're Not Getting Younger!
In a report put out by the Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibility, “Environmental Threats to Healthy Aging”, the authors have indicated ways to reduce exposure to some of the toxicants in our every day lives. – Exposures to some environmental chemicals can increase the risk of a number of different diseases, including chronic pain, chronic fatigue, inflammation, as well as diabetes, obesity, hypertension and the list goes on and on and when gathered from different resources it is mind-numbing at the least and can’t fit all in one blog.
There is some very clear direction in this same piece however on how to reduce the exposure to toxicants. It is suggested we take a multi-level approach to reducing exposure to toxic chemicals and substances such as pesticides, metals and solvents.

Turning Green
An essay about my personal reasons for green living. Primarily ties into eliminating toxins in my diet and environment to live healthier. As the original post said, "We're not getting any younger". I believe green is the key to longevity, by living in harmony with our bodies and the planet as naturally and holistically as possible.

Putting An End to Toxic Beauty: Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010
In her article, "Can We Do it Better?" Glenda Pitts discusses the how scientists have shown that small doses of toxins can cause lasting damage to our health and calls for us to limit what we CAN control, which are the environmental toxins found in our home.
I decided to post about the toxins found in cosmetics and other personal care products, given the recent news of the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010.
