Running and Jogging
Running or jogging outdoors may pose particular health problems. You are inhaling particles from exhaust pipes, which can become embedded in the lungs. Experts feel that particulate pollution may cause up to 10,000 heart disease deaths yearly. Try to run in an area away from traffic, such as a quiet neighborhood, around a lake, or a park.
Be particularly aware of cleaning agents which may be strong and try to move away from an area where you notice the strong odor of harsh chemicals. Again, remember you are taking deeper breaths, filing your lungs while exercising.
As you use equipment, remember others have used it before you. Sweat is the body's way of releasing toxins. Experts differ on whether sweat is clean or drops of toxins. At the very least, it creates a pool of moisture, a breeding ground for bacteria.
Place a towel on euqipment seats,stretching tables, or floor pads.
Wipe mats and equipment before and after use. Alcohol or
disinfectant cloths are preferred.
Consider taking your own mat for floor exercises.
Be aware of not touching your mouth, nostrils, and eyes while
in the gym. This exposes you to the germs of others, which can directly enter your body through your touch.
Remember our initial Hidden Toxin Report concerning germs tracked inside on our shoes. This is important to remember at the gym as well. Sitting on the floor, or using mats that have been left on the floor exposes the user to a host of undesirable toxins.
Speaking of the floor and what may be tracked in, remember to wear flip flops in the pool, hot tub, steam room and shower areas. Another place to pick up fungus as well as bacteria.
At first glance it will be obvious if gyms are kept clean, but remember the cleanest of gyms still have surfaces touched by many others. Be aware of washing your hands with SOAP and water, particularly as you leave the gym.
Again from our Hidden Toxins Report, remember the fabric of
your t-shirt. Organic cotton is safer than pesticide -treated
cotton, bleached with chlorine. Do you really want those chemicals going into your open pores as you perspire?
Restrictive clothing can inhibit circulation of lymph allowing toxins to accummulate. Wear clothing that allows freedom of movement.
Toxin-free exercise is taking the extra steps,
maximizing and enhancing the benefits of your workout.
Enjoy the results. See new possibilities!
