10. Teflon
Those non-stick pots and pans certainly do make clean up easier, no doubt about it, but you pay for that convenience with your health. The substances that make up the non-stick part of your cookware are known carcinogens that can even kill your pet bird if you heat them too high. Ditch the Teflon for cast iron, copper, or ceramic cookware.
11. Air Pollution
Most people think of air pollution as something that comes only from cars and industrial factories, when the truth is, most air pollution is right in our own homes. Chemical cleaners, aerosol propellants, and a chemical known as PAC, or polycyclic aromatic compounds, which are in most air fresheners, beauty products, and even laundry soap. These are known to interrupt hormones as well as weaken the immune system.

12. Processed Foods
All processed foods contain too little nutrients, and too many things that simply trample on your immune system such as; artificial colors, flavors, chemicals to make them softer or firmer, preservatives, sugars, excessive salt, GMO foodstuffs, and even plastic! Plastic should never be confused with real food, friends. Eat a plant based diet loaded with healthy fats such as nuts and avocados, real butter and raw dairy products, for the best health, as well as the best immune system of your life!
