Spotting Everyday Toxins!

Greetings -
Thinking about the topic of toxins in our environment, I have a personal story to share with you.
A while back, I purchased a yoga mat and began using it for some new exercises I wanted to practice each morning. At about the same time, I started feeling sick in the afternoons – slight headaches, light-headedness, stomach not feeling right and overall feeling like something was wrong.
I didn’t make a connection until, one day I started with a few exercises on my stomach. I hadn’t noticed the chemical smell before but now, with my nose right next to the mat, I picked up on the smell right away.
I immediately stopped using the mat, and continued exercising without it. Yes, all symptoms disappeared. I hadn’t checked the mat before using it, and when my symptoms started, I still hadn’t made that connection.
Moral of this story is to always BE AWARE! Toxic chemicals are all around us and the more aware we are, the better we can avoid the bad effects.
Oh, yes, are you wondering what happened to my toxic yoga mat? It went out to the garage for airing out. And, since it was washable, it got a good washing before I used it again!
Wishing you the best in health and longevity,
