There are so many ways we can prevent from different toxic, and live longer and healthier.

1. Stay away from pollution

Live away from high traffic area, chose work place around green if you can. Have your window up when you drive on the freeway.

2. Drink water

Drink at least 1 litter clean water per day. Do not drink tab water, do not drink the bottle of the water that has been left in your car.

3. Healthy cooking

Stay organic and raw food instead of process food, avoid white, such as white bread, white rice and white sugar. Instead choose whole wheat, brown rice, brown sugar and natural ingredients, reduce sugar, butter and oil when you cook.

Spring is finally here! Do a little spring cleaning on your body with camel pose, or ustrasana—it clears out the lungs, increases circulation, and opens the heart. And it will help tighten your belly and back muscles just in time for bathing suit season!

Since the pose is somewhat strenuous, start with a gentle warm up—like taking a short walk—before you begin. Kneel on your shins with your knees hips distance apart. If your knees are sensitive, kneel on a folded blanket or towel. Draw the belly in and up while tucking the tailbone down towards the floor. This action will stabilize the lower back to aim the movement into the upper back. Place your hands on your hips, fingers pointing up. Lean back and lift the chest up to the ceiling. This may already be enough of a backbend for you.

Colon Cleansers

Colonics have been hawked as everything from a toxin remover to a cancer cure. But they only do what your intestinal system does already. Enemas, laxatives, or passing a rubber tube through your rectum and pumping water in and out can be expensive and dangerous. “There’s no evidence that colon cleansing is necessary,” Siegel says. And experts say long-term cleansing can cause anemia, malnutrition, infection, intestinal damage, and even heart failure.
