2. Using cosmetics with these ingredients.

This is Toxicologist Yvonne Burkart. She's spent years researching what's REALLY damaging our bodies. Her message? We have no idea just how toxic our modern lifestyle is... Here are 8 things you need to STOP doing (they're poisoning your body):

8. Lighting candles.

7. Cooking with THIS type of cookware.

6. Eating processed foods.

5. Not filtering your water. (My favorite filter that ACTUALLY removes fluoride: )

4. Not opening your windows.

3. Drinking from "to-go" coffee cups.

1. Wearing plastic/chemical filled clothing.

These are 8 of the biggest toxins in our lifestyles that can lead to various types of cancers & other chronic diseases. It is 100% worth it to make it a conscious effort to remove them from your life. Our health is all we have. Once we lose it, we might never get it back.

Which of these actions surprised you the most? Is there anything missing here? Let me know below. & follow me @morellifit for more content like this. (RT this to help someone avoid these harmful toxins)

The free YUKA app is great for scanning foods, cosmetics, and cleaning products.

Parabens and sulphates, I've heard off. Phenols and pthalates? God, this is all getting increasingly hard. They should just be banned.

What about Botox and injectables, fillers and whatever they put in augmentations…Brazilian butt lifts, breast enhancements. This stuff is flying off the shelves. Are they not toxic??

Thanks for sharing! Crazy that Phthalates, which as mentioned interfere with the body's hormone system, are also found frequently in women’s sanitary products - pads, panty liners & tampons!

As someone who previously worked in the cosmetics industry as a compounder (we weigh the chemicals for the batches), I started researching the chemicals I was coming across: I wouldn't put any of that stuff on my worst enemy! Toxic stuff: natural is best!

Avoid cosmetics with fragrances! Keep them away from your kids, especially your daughters! Use yuka app to scan your entire bathroom.

Your skin is drinking what you put on it. Avoid fragrances, pthalates, parabens, etc..
