H²0


“You can’t keep your kid in a bubble. He will inevitably end up eating cake at birthday parties and hot dogs at barbeques, but you can minimize his toxin exposure by supporting more stringent chemical standards at the government level and controlling what goes on in your own home.”


–Paige Wolf, author, Spit That Out! (Lombard, 2010)

While H²0 is critical to hydration and energy, there’s no need to glug eight glasses a day to reap its benefi ts. Howard Murad, MD, author of The Water Secret (Wiley, 2010), recommends also getting water in its “structured form” from beans and fruits and vegetables such as leafy greens, melons, and tomatoes. Not only are these foods a fl avorful way to boost water intake, they contain critical nutrients that boost intracellular water—which supports each and every one of your body’s cells—and collagen production for healthier bones, joints, cartilage, and skin.


Detox fi rst thing


Every morning, drink a glass of warm water with half a lemon squeezed into it or a mug of high-quality green tea. Your body will thank you because these cleansing ingredi- ents help protect the liver’s cells from toxins that enter your body daily. Try: Yogi Green Tea Super Antioxidant, which also contains detoxifying lemongrass.


Choose low-mercury seafood
