What’s Your “Body Burden”? Take the Toxins Test 

Visit :  http://blog.gaiam.com/blog/whats-your-body-burden-take-the-toxins-test/ to see complete article with comments.

by Leslie Garrett | January 7th, 2009 | 

There’s a new phrase in town — “body burden” — and no, it doesn’t refer to the weight you gained over the holidays, nor that husband who doesn’t help around the house.

Unfortunately, body burden is no laughing matter. It refers to the level of chemical contaminants that are in our bodies. Scary stuff like mercury, lead, PCBs, pesticides … And those of us teeming with chemical contaminants aren’t necessarily refugees from some environmental catastrophe, as in Love Canal or Three Mile Island. They’re people like me … and very likely you, too. Even more alarming, they include many of our kids. By the time a baby takes its first breath, it has more than 300 chemicals in its bloodstream. The womb(!) is a baby’s first environment, and it’s increasingly contaminated.

We breathe in these chemicals, drink them, eat them and absorb them through our skin.

Even those of us who’ve cleaned up — and greened up — our acts, aren’t immune. With a certain trepidation, I recently took an online test to find out my own “body burden.” To get a definitive test would require much blood work and much money. But I managed to get a glimpse of my body burden by taking this online version: http://extras.insidebayarea.com/bodyburden/bodyburden.html#21)

My body burden score is 360/794, which means I’m at “medium” risk. While the test doesn’t account for my preference for non-toxic cleaning products, shampoos and furnishings, it’s nonetheless sobering to realize that none of us is safe from these insidious chemicals. Also disturbing are the questions themselves: so much of our daily routine (waterproof footwear! kids’ toys! plastic containers to store food!) introduces toxins into our lives and bodies.

These unwanted intruders are far from benign. They mess with our hormones (and as my husband is so fond of pointing out to me, my hormones do NOT need any more messing with). They damage our respiratory systems, damage our brains and nervous systems, and cause or aggravate cancer.

It’s easy to feel helpless against such a formidable foe. But while I may not be able to single-handedly detox the world, I can detox my part of the world as much as possible. I can avoid products that are made with chemicals of concern: PVC, flame retardants and lead, for starters. I can support companies that share my vision of a cleaner world. I can add my voice to powerful groups like the Environmental Working Group, Environmental Defense Fund and the Union of Concerned Scientists, who advocate for people just like us.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After using nontoxic products, my bdoy burdan test dropped significantly.  I am now 317 out of 794 which is considered a low risk.  I am sure my results will continue to get even lower as my knowledge grows greater, and I learn to live a nontoxic lifestyle to the best of my abilities.  Life is about change, and I am happy that my life is changing for the healthier avenue.

 

 

We've discussed how toxins can affect our crops and the nutritional value of specific produce and we've discussed how these toxins are harmful but why?  Why do we want to reduce toxins around us - they never seemed to hurt us before.  I'm sure you've heard it from other generations - I ate bacon and eggs every day and I feel great...  But the toxins were as heavy and weren't hidden in virtually everything we subject our children and ourselves too back even in the 70s or 80s.  Let's first take a quick look at the 5 top places for toxins to hide in my everyday life:  the life of a mom (a stay at home mom).

1. Air - Environmental toxins are all around us from our cleaners to the atmosphere.  If it isn't absorbed by a product then the air soaks it up and sadly, we breathe it.  Mold - pollen - dust mites etc...

2.  Water - This is scary especially where we live in Illinois.  Did you know that sewage can be dumped into the river if our water level is too high.  Yuck!  Then we put more chemicals like chlorine in the water to kill the YUCKY stuff.  Do you want to be drinking chlorine with pesticides?  Not me. 

3. Cleaners - This is a killer.  No, really.  Mom's whether you clean or homes or have someone do it,  do you really want to breathe these strong chemicals.  These chemicals are already proven to increase the risk of diseases and to deteriorate your immune systems.  Why have them?  You have tons of other options.  All you have to decide is do you want a green cleaner that supports a chemical company like  the ones you see at the stores - this is call green washing because they still are harmful or do you want  a green cleaner that will always protect you and your family even when the money comes back through the company.  For instance, Green Works supports Clorox, Basic H2 supports a family, Vinegar supports whoever,  Make sure you are supporting who you want.

4. Food - processed, caffeine, artificial sweeteners, ready to go, fast food (actually restaurant food), - these all have heavy amounts of chemicals in them so that we can store the food longer and keep it longer.  Guess what.  It keeps longer even in our bodies too.  It doesn't break down like real food so that our bodies can us it.  It causes our hormones in our system to get out of whack and then the whole snowball effect takes place:  gain weight, stressed out, add more 'chemicals', lower energy....  One hormone is related to another.  Our bodies are smart but we keep throwing stuff at them until the point they can't understand anymore.  Fruits, vegges, meats and dairy - choose organic for the foods you eat most.  The foods we eat simply don't have the nutrition that our bodies' crave.  Supplementation is a must to maintain a healthy body and thereby, reduce your risk of illnesses.

5.  Lastly skin care - this is where society sneaks in the chemicals.  Products that we feel are totally safe - shampoo, face wash, etc.  Yet, numerous of these products have been found to increase the risk of cancer and other illnesses.  Don't worry, you don't have to give up sexy skin because you give up toxins.  You have options.

Just checking to see what you think of our new look?  With every expansion comes change.  We focus on positive change so we are excited to see what you think.

It is pretty well known that organic is better and safer  now; however, many people feel that can't afford organic products.  But we really can't afford not to buy organic products at times because the heavy pesticides and chemicals can cause all kinds of health problems such as increase risk of cancer, hormonal disruptions and much more.  Below you will have the top 12 products to buy organic when purchasing them.
