Top Ways to Protect Future Fertility

• 1. Store your food in glass containers whenever possible, as it is the most inert container you can use.
• 2. Only use natural cleaning products in your home. Most health food stores will have these available or you can search online for them.
• 3. Buy and eat organic produce and free-range, organic foods to reduce your exposure to pesticides and fertilizers. This also applies to milk, which is frequently contaminated with bovine growth hormone.
• 4. Avoid conventional or farm-raised fish, which are often heavily contaminated with PCBs and mercury. Instead, supplement with a high-quality krill oil, or eat fish that is wild-caught and lab tested for purity.
• 5. Avoid processed foods, and artificial food additives of all kinds, including artificial sweeteners and MSG.
• 6. Throw out your Teflon pots and pans.
• 7. Have your tap water tested and, if contaminants are found, install an appropriate water filter on all your faucets (even those in your shower or bath).
• 8. Only use natural cleaning products in your home.
• 9. Avoid using artificial air fresheners, dryer sheets, fabric softeners or other synthetic fragrances.
• 10. Switch to natural brands of toiletries, including shampoo, toothpaste, antiperspirants and cosmetics.
• 11. When redoing your home, look for “green,” toxin-free alternatives in lieu of regular paint and vinyl floor coverings.
• 12. Replace your vinyl shower curtain with one made of fabric.
• 13. Review Our Stolen Future, which is an excellent resource on this topic.
