QUICK QUIZ Your body’s natural self-defense system may be overwhelmed by toxins in food, water and air. Take this quiz to determine your level of toxic exposure and its effect on your body. Ask Yourself…… • Do you use cigarettes or cigars? • Do you live or work with someone who smokes in your presence? • Are you often exposed to automobile exhaust fumes? • Do you live or work in a building that has new carpeting, paint or furniture that may be giving off odours or gases? • Have you ever used toxic chemicals such as insect sprays or herbicides at home or at work? • Do you have one or more alcoholic drinks per week? • Have you taken prescription drugs two or more times in the past year? • Do you often eat meat grilled over a charcoal fire? • Do you suffer from stomach problems? • Do you have allergies, sinus problems or joint pain? • Are you frequently tired from a normal day’s activity? If you answered “Yes” to two or more of these questions, you may be reacting to increased toxic exposure and burdening your body’s detoxification ability. You may wish to share this information with your naturopath and seek advice that may prove beneficial to your long term health. WHY DO WE NEED TO DETOX?
