Basically what loudtieblahblah said.
Mainly:
・Avoid all plastics however possible. This includes food packaging, clothing, carpeting, etc.
・Buy fresh foods. Foods marked organic have been shown to have lesser amounts of contamination in them.
・Try to balance your diet to include more vegetables. Forever chemicals don't accumulate as much in plant/vegetables as they do in animal products.
・Get more exercise / sweat more as you can sweat out some contaminants in your body.
・Get an air filter for your house. The dust in your house likely has particles from old clothing that contain plastics such as polyester. Carpeting in your home can also contribute, depending on what materials it was made with.
・Don't handle things like thermal paper, as the BPAs in the paper can leech off onto your skin.
・Reverse osmosis filters for your drinking water would be best, but they're expensive.
・Avoid scented cosmetics as they contain phthalates. There are some brands that avoid the use of phthalates in their products. Popular dish soap brands also contains phthalates, you can find dish soap brands that don't use phthalates.
Keep in mind you'll never be able to completely avoid forever chemicals, but you can limit your exposure.
- ip26 5y agoFocus on “good enough”. A $200 RO system for your drinking and cooking water will manage nearly all of your exposure to water borne contaminants. Then move on to the next item. It’s better to hit all the items with “good enough” solutions than focus time & money reaching perfection on just one.
