4 Presentation #4 May 8, 2014 HS/MS Media Center Healthy Home Healthy Family: Simple Steps to Reduce the Overload of Toxins in Your Home and Your Body Based on the book The Healthy Home Dr. Myron Wentz, world renown cellular biologist and winner of the Albert Einstein Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Life Sciences, and his son Dave Wentz, CEO of USANA Health Sciences, a state-of-the-art manufacturer of nutritional supplements and health products. Almost overnight, a toxic world has been built around us, slowly manipulating how we eat, sleep, work, play how we live. And the consequences of these conveniences have never been documented together in one place, until now. The Healthy Home isn't only a comprehensive look at the dangerous poisons within your home but is a guidebook of simple solutions that will help you live a life free of the toxic burdens society has created, packaged, and sold to you as necessities of everyday life. You'll begin to learn about the science behind the positive choices you can make to improve you and your family's most important resource your health. Have you ever considered: Chemicals added to fabrics to enhance durability and stain and wrinkle resistance have been linked to both reproductive and developmental toxicity, as well as cancers of the liver and bladder. But organic cotton contains none of these. Aluminum can induce oxidative damage, which has been linked to Parkinson's and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) yet a typical dose of your regular antacids can contain as much as 400 mg of aluminum. A little soda water anyone? Your cooking pans coated with non-stick Teflon can release six toxic gases when heated up to 680 F on a regular electric stove, including two carcinogens, two global pollutants, and a chemical known to be lethal to humans. Maybe the extra scrubbing of a regular pan is worth it. The air in your home is constantly filled with toxins from the paint on your walls, the glue that holds down your carpet, and the fire-retardant chemicals coating your comfy mattress. You can learn how to minimize your exposure. With the help of The Healthy Home, you'll learn about the dangerous substances you may be exposed to on a daily basis, and the simple but effective changes you can start making today that will help you and your family reduce your toxic burden, circumvent the risks of the modern world, and live a healthier life.
