Chemical Substances and Their Effects

Since the 1960s, the prevalence of diseases linked to chemical exposure has risen significantly, coinciding with a dramatic increase in the use of chemicals in households and industries. This period marked a surge in mass consumption of chemical substances, impacting both the environment and our health.

At the cellular level, healthy cells are protected by tightly packed walls that serve as a crucial barrier against harmful invaders. However, when exposed to chemical substances like detergents, these cell walls can be damaged. The damage is microscopic, but it results in gaps between the cells, weakening the body's defense mechanisms. This compromised barrier makes it easier for harmful chemicals, toxins, and allergens to infiltrate the body, leading to a variety of health problems.

To reduce the impact of chemical exposure, it's recommended to limit the use of harsh chemicals in daily life, choose eco-friendly and non-toxic products, and ensure proper ventilation when using chemical cleaners. Additionally, adopting a healthy lifestyle with a focus on nutrition, exercise, and immune support can help the body better withstand environmental stressors.
