Yes! The environment and your lifestyle choices are directly related to your ion balance and your toxicity. Society today is full of over the counter ‘quick cures’ and prescription drugs being handed out like candy. Do you lead a fast paced life that leaves little time for proper nutrition and relaxation? Do you ever turn to fast foods, or chemical laden pre-fabricated quick meals that you can pop in the microwave? These internal factors can leave your body with little energy.

What about the external factors? We all breathe air that is full of pollution. Do you have chlorine in your tap water? Do you work in an office full of dust and recycled air? Is your work space illuminated with florescent lighting that literally sucks the life out of you?

You have thousands of pores throughout your body, absorbing everything around you. Your epidermis (outer skin layer) comes into contact with cleaners, body soaps, creams and makeup that contain carcinogens. CBC Article
