INFERTILE? YOU MIGHT JUST NEED SOME COFFEE
As world fertility rates have been declining consistently since the 1960s, we see a correlation with the rise of environmental toxic exposure. What do we mean by environmental toxic exposure? Most people think that this is something that happens in a far-off place—an oil spill in the ocean or a chemical plant explosion in an industrial city. Irrespective of where you live on the planet, environmental exposure is a reality for all of us, as some pollutants have been found to contaminate places thousands of miles away where they have not been used.
Here are some examples of these toxins and where they are found:
Pesticides and herbicides like glyphosate, atrazine, carbofuran, and chlorpyrifos.
Lead, Phthalates, and cadmium are found in children’s products
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxins found in industrial solvents or lubricants
Bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates and phenols found in plastics and food storage materials
Brominated Flame Retardants, PCBs in electronics and building materials
Phthalates, Parabens, and UV Filters in personal care products, medical tubing, and sunscreen
Triclosan found in anti-bacterial soaps
Perfluorochemicals found in textiles, clothing, non-stick food wrappers and cookware
Today, a woman living in a developed country or a major city in a developing country is, unknowingly, overwhelming her body with toxins found in makeup, perfume, personal care products, food, electronics, water, and even in the air. In limited studies, these chemicals have been deemed safe in small amounts, with no consideration of their cumulative impact on the body. All these toxins are stored in the body, and the heavy toxic load compromises overall health, reproductive health included.
We have little control over the amount of toxins released into the air and used in different industries. We do, however, have the power to limit the amount of toxins to which we are exposed. We are created beautifully with an amazing ability to heal when we give the body all that it needs. We can choose our foods and products wisely; we can filter our water; and what about the coffee? Unlike the superfoods that are constantly marketed to us as the next best fix for... everything… Coffee is indeed a superfood! Organic coffee, used in an enema, is the optimum liver detox, playing a massive role in helping the body rid of toxins.
