Health Heroes! 🦸‍♀️

Did you know that more than 24% of American Adults go under the needle?

And that most of those people are unaware of the potential risks of getting/having tattoos?

Tattoo artists will say that their ink is non toxic, but did you know that there is no way for a tattoo to show on your skin without Heavy Metals. Heavy Metals is what makes the ink reflect off of your skin’s surface so it is visible. 

That means there is a constant supply of Heavy Metals leaching into your body at all times, no matter how old the tattoo is. 

That’s alarming to me. Why aren’t we being informed about this? 

Side effects of Heavy Metal Toxicity include: Depression, Eating Disorders, Organ Damage, Behavioral Changes, and Difficulties with Thinking and Memory.

“While toxins of every kind are harmful, heavy metals pose a unique threat. Not only are they damaging in their own right, they are also a form of neurotoxin (a poison that disrupts nerve function and confuses your immune system). Heavy metal neurotoxins can inflame and irritate our central nervous system (especially our brain), causing multiple symptoms such as memory loss, brain fog, fatigue, and depression. Toxic heavy metals can also promote inflammation in the digestive tract, releasing poisons into our gut as well. As if this isn’t bad enough, heavy metals also serve as a source of food for viruses, bacteria, parasites, and other pathogens in our body.” ~Medical Medium 

The good news is the answer isn’t to run out and get your tattoo removed. That actually pushes the Heavy Metals deeper into your body. 

The solution is to make sure you are eating the necessary foods and taking the necessary products to ensure that you are sweeping the extra Heavy Metals out. And your best friend is Consistency. 

Also, if you think your safe because you don’t have any tattoos, think again. 

“Toxic heavy metals are virtually everywhere, and are present in things we come in contact with every day, such as aluminum cans and aluminum foil, batteries, metal cookware, old paint, and even the foods we eat. For instance, pesticides and herbicides (which are hard to completely avoid even on a strict organic diet), are a common source of heavy metals. As a result, most of us are carrying around heavy metals that have been with us for almost our whole lives and which have burrowed deep inside our tissues.” ~Medical Medium 

This is why I make sure I am eating things like Cilantro, Wild Blueberries, Garlic, Lemon Water, Spirulina, Chlorella, Barley Grass Juice Powder, Atlantic Dulse Flakes, ect. 

On top of eating all of the foods I’ve listed above, I make sure I am taking Green 85 (1-2 Times) a day and Toxin Detox.
