Hyperthyroid, Fluoride, Aging Foods, Toxins in Shampoo | Dr. Janine
Many shampoos, even those labeled as "natural," can contain harmful ingredients that may impact your health. It's crucial to be aware of these ingredients and understand their potential effects.
Some of the ingredients to be cautious of include:
- Dimethicone: Can build up on the scalp and hinder detoxification processes.
- Alcohols: Often used as thickening agents, they may dry out hair.
- Fragrances: A collective name for potentially hundreds of chemicals that don't need disclosure and can be toxic.
- Selenium sulfide: Found in anti-dandruff shampoos, this is a known carcinogen.
- Quaternium-15: Acts as a preservative but is a formaldehyde releaser, which is harmful.
Opt for shampoos with safe ingredients like rosemary essential oil, which supports hair health and has antiseptic properties, or vitamin E, a natural preservative.
- Minimize EMF exposure: Use airplane mode on devices and keep the phone distanced from the neck and head area.
- Practice grounding: Spend time outdoors ensuring skin and eyes receive natural sunlight.
- Improve sleep hygiene: Use blue light-blocking glasses after sunset to enhance natural sleep cycles.
While fluoride is often promoted for dental health, excessive exposure can lead to toxicity, impacting various aspects of health.
- Joint pain and muscle weakness
- Bone-related issues like osteoporosis
- Elevated potassium levels and dental changes
- Choose fluoride-free dental products.
- Opt for reverse osmosis water filtration to remove fluoride from drinking water.
- Substituting traditional dental treatments for natural options; consult with your dental professional.
Making informed choices about personal care products and understanding the potential health impacts of certain chemicals and minerals can lead to improved health and wellbeing. Prioritizing natural and safe alternatives helps in minimizing risks associated with harmful ingredients.
