Endocrine Disruptors - Balance Your Hormones by Eliminating These Invisible Foes

 

Endocrine disruptors present a very real threat to the delicate balance of hormones in both males and females. These chemicals either mimic or interrupt the normal flow of hormones in your body with potentially disastrous effects.

Cosmetics, household products, and food are some of the biggest offenders.

Begin the switch to a non-toxic, hormone supporting lifestyle by avoiding these chemicals today.

Petroleum-based ingredients to avoid:

● Mineral oil

● Petrolatum

● Liquid paraffin

● Paraffin oil

Hormone disruptors:

● Methylparaben

● Butylparaben

● Propylparaben

● Ethylparaben

● Isobutylparaben

● Benzylparaben

● BPA/BPS/BPF

● Phthalates

○ Look for beauty products without synthetic fragrance

○ “Fragrance” or “parfum”

○ Avoid plastic packaging, especially PVC with recycling code #3.

Other

● Organophosphates (pesticides) in foods. Go organic (grown without pesticides) or biodynamic-organic (a step above organic).

● Purchase professional organic salon products.

● Purchase raw organic fruit and vegetables if using natural beauty products.
