Stop Counting Calories and Start Counting Chemicals! Most of us have been conditioned to look at the calories we eat as the primary reason why we might be getting a little thick around the middle, and while it is true that too many calories aren’t good for maintaining a healthy weight, far too many individuals have overlooked an important aspect to keeping fit and vital – toxic chemical overload. A chemically burdened body is more likely to harness fat than a ‘clean’ body. Practitioners of ancient natural medicine have known for a long time that detoxing is vital to keep diseases of obesity at bay. Heavy metals in drinking water and even apple juice, BPAs in the plastics made from petroleum, Dioxin, Atrazine, Aspartame, Phthalates, Perchlorate, substances like DDT, Monsanto’s glyphosate, and other pesticides are turning our endocrine systems into a mosh pit at a car crash competition. Instead of keeping our digestive systems healthy, our neurological instinct to eat when we are hungry and stop when we are full, and instead of maintaining the ability to remove toxic buildup from our bodies while fighting foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses, our bodies are starting to attack themselves. The chemicals in our environment also bio-accumulate; what one chemical does to damage our bodies is exponentially supported by chemical reactions to other chemicals. Their effects are essentially compounded. These chemicals aren’t just in the packaged foods and produce we eat from the grocery store either, but are in our lakes and rivers, where we get our fish. These fish dine on macro-invertebrates, which then dine on smaller fish, which then dine on bigger fish, and each level of the food chain is contaminated. When livestock eat feed that has been treated with pesticides and herbicides, the same phenomenon occurs. This is bioaccumulation of chemicals in action...
