At LIVV Natural, we provide wellness alternatives that allow you to live your best life. Your daily environments are full of toxins that may impact your health. It’s crucial to find a way to remove these contaminants from your body.

Read on to learn about these poisons and how they enter your body. Plastics, heavy metals, inflammation, and autoimmune disease can exacerbate symptoms. LIVV Natural offers respite with naturopathic treatments that provide optimal wellness.

BPA

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a mass-produced chemical used to produce polycarbonate plastics. Manufacturers make disposable plastic bottles, eyewear, containers, shatterproof glass with it.

BPA is in almost everything. Dust, water, and air carry the microscopic particles, but most come from your dietary sources.

It seeps into the body from food containers and water bottles. The contents and container temperature impact how much BPA leaches, not container age. Canned foods have a BPA lining that can break down.

A 2004 trial found traces in the urine samples of 93% test patients. Animal studies show adverse effects in fetuses and newborns. Investigations even found the toxin in breast milk. Parents should choose BPA-free bottles.

Trials link BPA to breast, ovary, and prostate cancers. It affects fetus development and compromises the eggs a woman produces.

While the FDA maintains BPA levels are safe, the medical community is unconvinced. Trials found BPA reduces chloride removal from the central nervous system. It boosts the chances of dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other cognitive issues.

Science confirms BPA links to high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes. It can act as a hormone, interfering with insulin production and causing weight gain.

Heavy metals

Heavy metals are toxic in minor concentrations. They accumulate over time, don’t biodegrade, and are carcinogenic. Microscopic molecules prevent cells from operating efficiently. Heavy metals include:

  • Lead: Old metal pipes leak this element into the water supply. Other contaminants are batteries, gasoline, construction materials, and paints.
  • Arsenic: Most arsenic poisoning is a result of contaminated groundwater. It’s also in topical creams, seafood, pesticides, paints, enamels, and glass.
  • Mercury: Most people know this liquid metal is in thermometers. Other potential contaminants include metal dental fillings, seafood, lightbulbs, and topical antiseptics.

Some heavy metals occur naturally, but many are human made. Industrial discharges, mining effects, and car exhaust gasses are contaminants.

Inflammation

Inflammation is part of your body’s defense. The immune system recognizes and removes harmful pathogens or toxins. Inflammation can cause serious issues.

Acute inflammation can follow trauma, microbial infection, or poisonous compounds. It strikes quickly and lasts only a few days.

Chronic inflammation lasts months or years, but the extent varies. The effects depend on what caused the injury and your body’s ability to resolve the damage.

Chronic inflammation is a leading cause of death. The WHO ranks it the greatest threat to health. Chronic inflammatory diseases include stroke, heart disorders, obesity, diabetes, and respiratory disease. They account for 60% of worldwide deaths.

The main drivers are:

  • Cardiovascular disease: It accounts for a third of all deaths in the USA. Heart disease and strokes are most prevalent.
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: COPD is the third-most leading cause of death. Over 15 million Americans were diagnosed in 2014.
  • Diabetes: Affects nearly 10% of the US population and is one of the leading causes of death.
  • Arthritis and joint diseases: These issues affect 350 million people worldwide and impact 20% of the US population. Two million Americans have rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Allergies: Hay fever affects nearly 10% of adults and children. Asthma affects 24 million people alone.

Autoimmune disease

There are around 80 different autoimmune diseases. They arise when your body’s immune system can’t differentiate between foreign cells and your own. It causes the immune system to attack healthy cells.

Symptoms vary from severe to mild. They depend on genetics, your environment, and individual health status. Aches and pains might indicate a worrying condition.

Examples of autoimmune disease include:

  • Type 1 diabetes: Your immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis: Osteoarthritis results from extended mechanical use. With rheumatoid arthritis, the immune system attacks and damages your joints.
  • Lupus: Most people experience a mild form of this untreatable disease. Systemic lupus affects your entire body, but localized versions also occur. It can attack the skin and, rarely, neonatal babies. Drug-induced lupus can occur with long-term medications.

Psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, and Grave’s disease are further examples. They strike the skin, nerves, intestines, and thyroid, respectively.

Women are much more prone to autoimmune diseases, accounting for 78% of cases. The causes are still uncertain, but potential reasons include:

  • Medications
  • Genetics
  • Smoking
  • Toxins
  • Obesity
  • Infections
