5 WAYS TO PROTECT CHILDREN FROM BRAIN-DAMAGING TOXINS.
Having a child is often considered to be one of the most joyous moments in a parent�s
life, but it can also be one of the most stressful.
One common stressor is the risk of your little one coming into contact with harmful toxins.
Many new parents, in fact, rate this as the biggest source of concern in the first few
years of having a newborn.
Exposure to harmful toxins can happen in many ways.
Some toys, even though they are specifically designed for babies, can contain toxins.
Equally, a lot of processed foods can contain obscure chemicals and additives.
A recent Forbes article points to research that suggests chemicals in toys and food may
be contributing to what scientists are calling the �global, silent pandemic of neurodevelopmental
toxicity.�
Limiting exposure to toxins is especially important for babies because they are still
developing.
As such, their immune systems are less able to fight potentially damaging toxins than
a fully grown adult�s.
And while you may be able to limit your own exposure to toxins by being careful about
the products you use, the fact that children put everything in their mouths means that
everything they are close to needs to be safe!
So how do you limit your child�s exposure to harmful toxins?
You could, of course, uproot your whole family and move to a pure, beautiful spot in the
countryside.
Alternatively, you could keep your kid in a hermetically sealed box for the first few
months!
For most parents, though, these are not realistic options.
Instead, follow these five steps to drastically reduce your child�s exposure to harmful
chemicals:

Let�s take a closer look at each step.
Create a Healthy Nursery
The importance of designing and creating a healthy nursery cannot be overstated.
The nursery is the place where your child is going to spend the most time during the
first few months and years of their life, so you want to create a space that is as free
from harmful toxins as is humanly possible.
Nowadays, thankfully, this can be relatively easy.
Our increased awareness of the effects of harmful toxins on children has led to many
manufacturers producing nursery products that are free of dangerous and unnecessary chemicals.
Everything from the mattress your little one sleeps on to the paint you use to decorate
their room is now rigorously tested, and comes with guarantees that it will not expose your
child to synthetic chemicals.
Do Your Research
A little research can go a long way when it comes to reducing your child�s exposure
to potentially harmful toxins.
Even a few minutes spent reading about the products you are planning to buy can afford
great peace of mind, because you can be sure that every item your child comes into contact
with has been approved by experts.
Medical authority sites like Parenting.com, and reputable review sites such as Kokopax,
are good places to start your research.
The best review sites rate the products they review by speaking to real parents, so you
can be sure that the opinions you are reading can be trusted.
Many parents now prioritize limiting their children�s exposure to harmful toxins when
considering which products to buy, so most trusted review sites will take this into account.
Go Organic
Of course, harmful toxins do not only reside in the toys, bedding, and paint that your
child comes into contact with � they can be in the food they eat, too.
Many parents have accordingly decided to go organic to avoid exposing their children to
pesticides.
Food manufacturers have caught onto this fashion, and so wherever you are, you should be able
to find good-quality organic baby food, even when your child is really small.
Look for the mark of your local organic certifying authority, and you can be sure that the food
you are buying is free from pesticides and other nasty chemicals.
Check the Label
This might sound obvious, but it is something that is easy to forget in the first few months
of having a newborn child.
This can be an extremely busy, stressful time for many parents, but taking a few minutes
to read the label of the items you buy for your child will make a big difference in their
health and in your own peace of mind.
Nowadays, everything from baby formula to mattresses must, by law, say what it is made
from.
Checking the label is therefore the easiest, most direct way to see if there are any harmful
toxins in these items.
Trust Your Gut
Ultimately, trust yourself.
Test a few different products, and find the ones that work for you and your child.
New parents soon develop an almost supernatural ability to detect chemicals and toxins, becoming
almost a part of their children�s immune system!
If a product has an unpleasant chemical smell, or you simply do not trust it for whatever
reason, listen to your gut.
In the end, nothing can replace your finely-honed instincts as a new parent.
Following these rules can significantly reduce your child�s exposure to harmful toxins.
Make sure you create a healthy nursery, use review sites to do your research, consider
going organic, and always read the label.
Ultimately, though, trust yourself and your instincts.
