Last updated on 18th September 2023.Jump To Section:-We’re exposed to numerous chemicals, toxins and heavy metals everyday, in our environment, homes and work places, which are harmful to our health (1). They are in:-Toxic free living involves making changes to reduce our exposure to these harmful toxins.Our bodies naturally detoxify and remove these toxins from the body via 6 pathways :-My other post How To Open Drainage Pathways has information on the foods, strategies and therapies we can consume and perform to support each of the 6 channels.However, we are exposed to over 700,000 different chemicals everyday, more than ever before (2). If the amount of toxins we are exposed to exceeds the amount the body can eliminate then they begin to accumulate and be stored in the body. This suppresses the immune system, causes inflammation and can cause a range of health issues and symptoms like:-Related Post: How To Open Drainage PathwaysWith toxins being present in all of our environments and so many products we use, it can feel overwhelming knowing where to begin to reduce your exposure. In other posts I have detailed&nbsp;15 simple swaps you can make to create a chemical free home, such as switching to natural cleaning products like&nbsp;NeerSol,&nbsp;and also&nbsp;10 tips to create a non toxic kitchen.However, starting a&nbsp;toxic free lifestyle&nbsp;doesn’t have to cost any money at all. Below are 7 simple ways to reduce your toxin exposure that are either free or actually save you money!Related Post:&nbsp;10 Healthy Habits To Improve Your Health For FreeIndoor air is 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air (6). The easiest and cheapest way of improving indoor air quality is to open the windows. This helps eliminate pollutants in the indoor air and allows fresh air from outside to circulate.&nbsp; This is especially important when cooking and showering (7).The outside and inside of our shoes contain on average 421,000 and 3,000 different types of bacteria and toxins, respectively (19). Removing shoes before entering homes prevents around 80% of dust and harmful bacteria entering them (8).Shop bought water is stored in plastic bottles, which leaches chemicals into the water you drink (9). Stopping buying these and instead drinking filtered tap water at home saves you money.If you do need a bottle to store water in, a cheaper and healthier alternative is to use glass water bottle (UK Link/US Link), which doesn’t leach any chemicals into the water (10).Regular candles and air fresheners contain artificial fragrances, which release harmful toxic chemicals into the air, which we inhale (11,&nbsp;12). Most scented candles are also made from paraffin wax and contain a metal wick, all of which are released into the air when burned (13). Stopping buying these products not only reduces your toxin exposure but saves you money.If you want an alternative, switch to beeswax candles with a cotton wick, like&nbsp;Fantasy Candle&nbsp;in the UK or&nbsp;Bear Natural Organics&nbsp;in the US. Not only are beeswax candles safe and free from harmful chemicals but they also help clean the air in your home by releasing negative ions, which removes dust, mould, pollen, bacteria and odours from the air (14).However, as beeswax candles are not suitable for vegans, soywax candles, that are scented with natural essential oils, like&nbsp;Tofu,&nbsp;Benevolence LA&nbsp;or&nbsp;Octo&nbsp;in the UK, or&nbsp;Mile High Life,&nbsp;Prank Kiss&nbsp;or&nbsp;All Fur One&nbsp;in the US, are a safe vegan alternative (14).For a natural air freshener alternative, use a diffuser (UK Link/US Link)&nbsp;to diffuse essential oils into the air. The most popular ones are:-Electronic devices and Wi-Fi emits EMF radiation, which causes positive ions to build up in the body. These positive ions:-The following can be sources:-Even when switched off and not in use, electronics still omit small amounts of radiation if plugged into electrical sockets (20). Switching off these items when not in use and, where possible, unplugging them from their power source, reduces our exposure, while turning your Wi-Fi router off at night reduces your radiation exposure by around a third.You can also make the following adjustments to reduce your exposure further:-Receipts are printed on thermal paper that contain chemicals like BPA plastics, which are rapidly absorbed through our skin when we touch them and can disrupt hormones (18). If you need receipts, ask them to be sent electronically if possible.Tattoo ink and piercings are made from heavy metals like lead, aluminium and nickel, which are absorbed into our body and negatively affect our health (19, 20, 21), with even temporary tattoos containing synthetic plastics, varnishes and colorants (22, 23). Clip on earrings, belly, nose, stomach and lip piercings are a safe alternative to having body parts pierced and tattoos are able to be removed (although it is recommended to support the liver after removal using these tips in How To Open Drainage Pathways post, to aid the removal of heavy metals and toxins that are released after removal).I hope these tips help.
