Every day, we are exposed to toxins in the environment, from the food and water we
consume to the air we breathe and the products we use. Toxins are found in beauty
products, household cleaners, furniture, mattresses, house dust, and even foods of
natural origin. These products containing chemical toxins are extremely harmful to
the human body. However, we can take some measures to avoid exposure to
excessive toxins to minimize their damage to our body.
Spraying pesticides on fruits and vegetables can protect them from pests and diseases.
But we all know that even after cleaning, the residue of pesticides will remain on the
agricultural products. Although the Environmental Protection Agency has banned the
use of most toxic pesticides (including highly toxic organic phosphates that were
phased out in the late 1970s and late 1980s). However, until now, residues of these
chemicals have been seen in green leafy vegetables and fruits.
Organic produce can easily replace traditionally grown produce. In particular,
conventionally grown strawberries, apples, celery, cucumbers, grapes, spinach and
potatoes have the highest levels of pesticides. Although diets rich in fruits and
vegetables are good for human health, we should limit exposure as much as possible.
