Whatever you think about your body, no matter how critical you are about its appearance, you want it to run right. It is your mode of transportation during your lifetime. To continue the car/body analogy, if you have been using the wrong gasoline in your car, you can damage your engine. There are a lot of things our there right now that add up to "the wrong gasoline" --eating foods with pesticides and fertilizers in them, drinking out of disposable plastic water bottles, lying on beds or wearing clothing that is covered in fire retardants, breathing carbon monoxide fumes-- and these aren't even the toxins you've inherited. We have been exponentially increasing our toxic load for about the last hundred and fifty years.
We can think of the body as a microcosm, a miniature reflection of earth. Both are in large part made up of water. Both are complex systems reliant on a diversity of flora and fauna to function properly, and both are suffering from massive pollution.
According to many sources, including the articles below, our bodies have become mini toxic waste dumps. In order to protect ourselves, we need to be armed with knowledge so that we can make informed decisions and learn how to detoxify our bodies.
There are many great suggestions listed, but it is also important to think about how we can decrease the bombardment on our bodies from even part of those 80,000 toxic chemicals which we have been exposed to since the beginning of the industrial revolution, according to Dr. Mark Hyman's article listed below. How, aside from being an informed consumer, can we being to chip away at a problem this large? One way to cut down on our toxic exposure (and therefore the exposure of future generations) is to use less energy or, when that is not possible, to use cleaner energy.
Global Green Energy is dedicated to both the microcosm and the macrocosm. We are concerned about the health of the globe, your health, and also about the health of future generations. Every solar panel we install is a Valentine.

A favorite book about the politics of food is Long Life Now: Strategies For Staying Alive, by Lee Hitchcox

For a more academic approach, we suggest The Omnivore's Dilemma or In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto, both by Michael Pollan.
