My first suggestion is to make one change. Start with something simple like the water you drink. We should be drinking 8 glasses per day, keeping well hydrated since our body is more then 50% water. Not only do we ingest it, but we absorb water through our shower or bath.

There are many ways that your water can become contaminated. Do you live near a farm or golf course? Agriculture can leach pesticides, herbicides and defoliants into the water stream via the ground. Perhaps you leave near a factory? Industrial pollution can drop formaldehyde, phenols, detergents, phosphates, phthalates and PCB's into your water system. The city/town water is purified to ensure no bacteria exists however you are then exposed to chlorine and other elements. Even your water pipes can be of concern; lead, copper, PVC.

Your mind can go crazy thinking of all these things but remember the goal is to reduce the total body load. Therefore, water is a great way to start your path to environmental consciousness.
