Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) aka electromagnetic pollution are generated by electronic devices and electrical appliances in your home. Constant exposure to EMFs is a main health concern. Particularly because continual exposure over the long-term may contribute to or be the cause of certain health issues.
For example, studies suggest that EMF exposure may cause toothaches and other dental problems via the death of oral bacteria, trouble falling and staying asleep via inflammation in the body and erectile dysfunction via nerve damage, resulting in loss of muscle strength – just to name a few. Make the bedroom in your house or apartment an EMF-free zone.
The potential benefits in doing so, may lead to improved sleep quality, better sex life and fewer dental problems over time – to name a few. How long would it take for someone to recover from EMF exposure? Answer – that’s really impossible to say, it all depends on duration of exposure, methods of exposure and frequency of use at home, work and play.
That said, since the body can heal itself, providing oneself with some downtime on the daily can do no harm. Which brings me back to making your bedroom an EMF-free zone.
This can be done quickly and isn’t very expensive:
● Call an electrician and have the light switch in your bedroom replaced with a disconnect switch.
● Turn your phone and all other mobile devices to airplane mode before going to sleep.
● Choose a mattress without metal coils, a box under your mattress (if one is needed) without springs and a bedframe that’s not made of metal.
The metal coils, springs and frame can act as antennas amplifying EMFs.

Our clothing and bedding also contribute to a toxic lifestyle. Synthetic fiber is a plastic produced entirely in a laboratory from petroleum byproducts. Sixty percent of the fibers that are used to make our clothing and bedding are made of synthetic fiber.
Synthetic fibers are known by several names: polyester, nylon, acrylic to name a few. They are cheap to produce and buy. That’s why synthetic fibers account for most of the global textile market. Make no mistake about it, synthetic clothes and bedding are toxic.
The toxic substances contained in synthetic fiber may break down in hot weather and then be absorbed through our skin. Once in the blood, they can act as endocrine disruptors. Every time you take your clothes and bedding to the laundry, fiber detaches from them, enters the waste water and is released into the environment.
These fibers are non-biodegradable, so it’s another source of microplastic pollution. Basically, any fiber that’s not cotton, wool, leather, hemp, silk, bamboo and linen (made from the flax plant) is synthetic. When possible, go organic with cotton, bamboo, hemp and linen. Wool, leather and silk are naturally organic.
Organic fibers are grown without the use of toxic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and chemical fertilizers. They are not processed with any other toxic substances and must be colored with non-toxic dyes. Try to buy organic clothing and bedding with the GOTS or OEKO-TEX certification when possible.

We don’t need a detoxification program to remove toxins from within our body. The human body carries all the instructions needed in its DNA, for how to independently cleanse itself. The only thing our body needs us to do, is stop poisoning ourselves on the daily.
This means going organic with your diet when possible, avoiding UPFs and QSR food, eating only minimally processed food and the removal of cosmetics and indoor pollutants from your living space/self as best you can. If we do our best at detoxicating these poisons from our living space/self, then your body’s potential to self-cleanse is possible.
As for our body’s outer covering, aka our skin, hair and nails, the body is equally efficient at self-cleansing these tissues. We don’t need soap to wash our bodies. A washcloth and water alone is all that’s needed to gently exfoliate (remove) pollution and dead cells from one’s body to feel clean and keep a pleasant natural scent.
Bacterial communities in the microbiome of our skin, hair and nails help protect us from some of the damaging effects of pollution, UV rays and may prevent graying of hair. Soap, no matter how it’s advertised, is still a detergent. It will breakup bacterial communities and breakdown oil on the top layer of the skin, hair and nails, leaving each tissue unprotected, dry and irritated.
Install a bath and /or shower filter to bathe with filtered water. Filtered water is free of harsh chemicals and minerals that can also dry out skin and damage hair and nails. Filtered water will leave your outer covering hydrated and stronger.
