ESSENTIALS COLLECTION

Environmental toxins are harmful substances found in our environment that can negatively impact human health and the ecosystem. These toxins originate from various sources and, unfortunately, surround us in everyday life, including:

Plastics and Microplastics: Plastics degrade into smaller particles, known as microplastics, that pose risks to human health. These microplastics can enter the body through leaching from plastic food packaging and water bottles, and contamination in drinking tap water

One significant concern is the presence of endocrine disruptors in plastics.

Endocrine Disruptors: Chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol S (BPS), and phthalates, commonly found in plastics and personal care products, can interfere with hormonal systems. This disruption can
affect reproductive and mental health, raise estrogen levels, lower testosterone, slow metabolism, and increase the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and cancer.

Pesticides and Herbicides: Chemicals such as glyphosates (commonly known as Roundup), used in agriculture to control weeds and speed up crop yields, often enter the food chain in common foods containing wheat, such as bread, baked goods, and pasta. 

Interestingly, in parts of Europe where glyphosate use on wheat is banned, people generally do not experience bloating or cramping from eating these same foods as they might in Western countries.  

Pharmaceuticals: Medications are not always fully metabolised by the body, leading to residues that can persist long-term or indefinitely. These contaminants and toxins can impact the immune system,
contributing to chronic health issues and unanticipated adverse side effects.

Additionally, ongoing research is investigating how these residues may influence the development of autoimmune conditions

Household Chemicals: Products like cleaners, dishwashing liquids, seed oils (such as canola), deodorants
(containing aluminium), can contain toxic ingredients that may contribute to various health issues. These issues can range from skin irritation to more serious conditions like hormonal disruptions, cancers, and an increased risk of chronic diseases.

Heavy Metals: Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, aluminium, and arsenic can contaminate drinking tap water, soil, air, cookware, food packaging, and certain medications, contributing to various health issues, including ADHD, Parkinson's disease, autism, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases.

Biological Contaminants: Mould, bacteria, and viruses can thrive in homes, raising health concerns, especially due to humidity, poor ventilation, dampness, and water damage.

Mould exposure is primarily linked to respiratory issues and allergic reactions, but emerging research suggests it may also contribute to mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression.

To truly protect yourself from the impact of environmental toxins, staying informed and making thoughtful, mindful choices is essential.

Whenever possible, limit your exposure by opting for natural alternatives—like using a glass or ceramic water bottle with filtered water—and choose premium products with scientifically backed ingredients. These mindful choices can help fortify and support your immune system in combating these toxins

Blood clots are formed when blood changes from its liquid state to a gel-like state, primarily due to the action of fibrin. Plasmin, an important enzyme in the body, plays a crucial role in breaking down fibrin clots, thereby preventing abnormal clot formation. However, several factors such as the below, can disrupt this balance:

Aging: As we age, our bodies produce less plasmin, reducing the ability to break down fibrin clots effectively. This increases the risk of blood clots.

Modern Environmental Toxins: Exposure to modern environmental toxins can trigger inflammation in the body. Over time, acute inflammation can progress to chronic inflammation, further reducing plasmin production and increasing the risk of blood clots.

Chronic Inflammation: Chronic inflammation can inhibit the production of plasmin, leading to an accumulation of fibrin and a higher likelihood of clot formation. Impurities in the blood, such as toxins and exogenous (non-natural) proteins, can contribute to chronic inflammation.

Increasing Chronic Inflammatory Diseases: The prevalence of chronic inflammatory diseases is rising, contributing to reduced plasmin activity and higher risks of abnormal clotting. Conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers are linked to chronic inflammation and impaired plasmin function.

Detoxification is an intricate and essential part of the journey to achieving health and well-being. It’s the body’s natural process of removing toxins through sweat, breath, and excretion.

Today, as we face the escalating compounding adverse effects and challenges posed by modern environmental toxins, it is clear we need powerful, safe and effective supplementation.

Purify Me has stepped into this urgent and critical role.

To further support this process, it is crucial to consume quality water. The recommended daily
intake of fluids, according to the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, is approximately:

3.7 litres of water a day for men
2.7 litres of water a day for women.

Note: This varies based on body size and daily activity levels.

Steps to help your detoxification journey.

Step 1: Drink plenty of high quality water(not tap water)

Step 2: Take part in regular movement and exercise 

Step 3: Eat natural whole foods when possible.

What else do I need to know?

Regular movement and exercise are vital for boosting circulation and promoting sweat, both of
which are essential for your body’s natural detoxification process. Whether you enjoy a gentle walk or a revitalizing session in the sauna, staying active helps your body cleanse itself.

Nourishing your body with natural, whole foods is equally important. Prioritize foods that have been part of the human diet for centuries—like vegetables, fruits, grains, meat, and fish—to naturally support your body’s detoxification, enhance your vitality, and contribute to a life of well-being.

We’re here to support you on your journey toward a healthier, toxin-free life. Don’t feel overwhelmed—embrace the power of progress. Each small step you take brings you closer to a life of well-being and balance.

The immune system is our body’s defence mechanism, protecting us against harmful invaders. However, several factors can attack or weaken its function:

1. Environmental Toxins: Exposure to pollutants, chemicals, and mould can weaken immune function. These toxins can cause inflammation and place stress on the immune system.

2. Stress: Prolonged stress releases cortisol, a hormone that, in excess, can suppress immune function, making the body more susceptible to infections and diseases.

3. Lack of Sleep: Inadequate sleep disrupts the production of cytokines, proteins essential for immune response, leading to a weakened immune system.

4. Certain Viral Proteins: Certain viral proteins, such as those found in some viruses, can potentially interact with the immune system and weaken its response.

5. Poor Diet: Consuming high amounts of sugar, processed foods, and unhealthy fats can weaken immune function. A lack of essential nutrients, like vitamins and minerals, further compromises immunity.

6. Sedentary Lifestyle: Regular physical activity boosts immune function, while a lack of exercise can lead to a sluggish immune response.

7. Medications: Certain medications, such as chemotherapy drugs, prednisone, immunosuppressants, some antibiotics, and ibuprofen, can weaken the immune system, making it harder to fend off illnesses.

8. Dehydration: Not drinking enough water can impair the function of immune cells, making the body more prone to infections.

9. Poor Gut Health: Since a significant portion of the immune system is in the gut, imbalances in gut bacteria (microbiota) can negatively affect immune function.
