10 Simple Ways to Detox

Excerpt:
If you consume the majority of your food out of a box or plastic package, then you are allowing for chemicals to leach onto the food and into your body. While you contaminate the environment by choosing foods in packaging, you also contaminate your body: plastic containers alone leach “leftover monomer building blocks,” bisphenol A (BPA), and structural chemicals, among others. These chemicals can be carcinogenic, but they can be avoided by consuming whole foods rather than packaged foods. Instead of buying packaged apple slices, buy whole organic apples.

Kinda like when we torture ourselves thinking about the time we don’t have to blog or work on our media kit. You might have to trade in that precious happy hour time to work on that next blog post or finally update that media kit. To get what you want, you have to prioritize and commit to it above everything else.
