It seems that not a day goes by without
seeing some negative story in the newspaper
or on television regarding our environment.
Global warming, air and water pollution,
the thinning ozone layer…the list
goes on. As a nutritionist, I can’t
help wondering what this is doing to
our health. How could environmental
pollution damage the earth without damaging
us as well? The effect of the environment
on our health really hit me on a trip
to Asia when I noticed more than half
the people walking or cycling the streets
wearing face masks to protect themselves
from dirty air. Thankfully I live in
Canada, I thought. Then I learned that
air pollution can travel from Asia in
North America in 3 days – not
much longer than it took me to fly home!
The truth is that every living thing
on the planet is affected by the environment,
and none more than we are. How can we
protect ourselves from the damage of
environmental pollution that enters
our bodies – what I call body
pollution? What steps can we take to
maintain or improve our health in today’s
polluted world?
This book is your guide to using the
latest research into the benefits of
nutrition, food supplements, exercise,
and stress reduction to maximize your
health. Although we cannot avoid pollution
entirely, we can all take steps to reduce
its negative impact on our body. I outline
easy and practical steps you can take
today, that over time, will add years
of productive, healthy time to your
life.
Better health is a learning process
and you may find that Chapters One and
Two contain some pretty shocking information
about the environment we live in and
what it’s doing to our health.
I urge you to keep reading – it’s
important to be aware of what’s
happening with our environment and how
it affects our health. Why should information
that is vital to your health only be
known to scientists?
Starting with Chapter Three, you’ll
learn how to fight body pollution and
optimize your health using all the tools
available to us. You’ll read about
the most up to date research on vitamins,
minerals, herbs, phytonutrients and
diet. This information will show you
how to maintain your present good health,
or rebuild your health to the highest
level possible. Fighting body pollution
means having vibrant energy, staying
young and vital longer and, as a bonus,
looking good. In short, fighting body
pollution means achieving the best health
possible for you and your family.
