everything we touch

“Remember, it’s not only what we eat but also what we touch. Everything we press, tap, rub, or nudge sheds microbes or other molecules that are quickly absorbed through our pores and directly into the bloodstream. Our body’s largest organ, the skin, is the first line of defense for our immune system - which leaves it vulnerable to the chemical onslaught as well...soap, deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo, hair conditioner, lip balm, sunscreen, body lotion, shaving products...makeup...dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, floor cleaner, furniture polish, glass cleaner...your goal should be to minimize your exposure to potentially harmful toxins that are proven to not only damage your gut lining and create antibiotic resistance, but affect your body’s endocrine system, leaving your thyroid, pancreas, and adrenal glands even more vulnerable than before.” -Dr Josh Axe
