Bacteria and viruses are not the only thing that can attack your immune system or make your body less able to fight off illness and disease. Sometimes these attacks can come from surprising sources, but can still weaken yourimmunity and make it more likely that you will develop an illness. Read below to find out more about some of the surprising sources around the home of immune system stress.
1. Roundup Weed Killer
This common weed killer, used widely throughout conventional agriculture, was once thought to be harmless. However, science is now uncovering the fact that it can cause mutations in the white blood cells, thus severely weakening the body’s natural ability to fight off disease. To avoid this, eat organic so you know that your food is pesticide-free.
2. Microwave Popcorn
The bags that contain microwave popcorn are coated with chemicals called perfluororinated compounds (PFC’s) that prevent the popcorn from sticking to the bag while it is being microwaved.
Unfortunately, these PFC’s have been linked to weakened immune systems and may even render vaccines ineffective!
Try popping your own popcorn on the stovetop – your kids will love it!
3. Nonstick Pots and Pans
PFC’s are also present in many pots and pans and prevent food from sticking while it is being cooked. As mentioned previously, these chemicals weaken the immunity, but also can disrupt hormonal balance and have been linked to the development of osteoarthritis. Replace these if possible with pans made of glass, stainless steel or iron.
