“…they’re saturating your life with toxins through the very products you trust. A stunning new global inventory has cataloged over 350,000 commercial chemicals, and in the US alone, more than 80,000 of these chemicals are used in everyday household products, with approximately 1,500 to 2,000 new chemicals introduced each year.

“However, you can’t stop there with internal toxins. What you put on your body is just as important. That “natural” moisturizer?

(Tom: Now I know some will focus on the fact that he makes money by providing a solution with natural skin care but his data is supported by much I have seen elsewhere.

Here is a summary of the detoxification data I have read: https://healthelicious.com.au/Detoxification.html)

Even though he never conquered his heroin habit, he was also on psychiatric drugs, which further lessened his ability to confront life and his problems. Drugs are Drugs.

Some interesting data here. I take many of the supplements mentioned here (for other reasons) and they have obviously not made a whit of difference to my formerly red har! LOL! But heck, we are all different and they may work for you.

Blueberries pack a powerful punch of nutrients and health benefits. Brimming with antioxidants and phytochemicals, blueberries can boost brain and heart health, combat cancer, manage diabetes, and even protect your skin. But they can also be expensive, especially fresh. Are they worth the cost? Are they okay to eat frozen? And should you worry about pesticides?

That’s why one of the tastiest and most antioxidant snack you can have is here: https://www.healthelicious.com.au/ChocoFruit-Slice.html Or if you prefer Macadamia Nuts, try this one:  https://www.healthelicious.com.au/ChocolateAndMacadamiaRockyRoadSlice.html

Both absolutely NAIL my sweet tooth craving!)

If you do intense exercise you might be interested in a short exchange I had today with Grok on behalf of a client.

Got a mate who runs marathons. He has two scheduled within a space of 6 weeks. I know marathons strain the heart so I asked if he took CoQ10. He said no, what is it? In 500 words or less, please help me answer his question with particular reference to his level of exertion.

Grok.com replied:

CoQ10, or Coenzyme Q10, is a naturally occurring compound in your body that acts like a vitamin. It’s essential for producing energy in cells (via ATP) and functions as a powerful antioxidant, protecting against cellular damage from free radicals.

Your heart relies heavily on CoQ10 because it’s an energy-intensive organ. Intense exercise like marathons increases oxidative stress and inflammation, which can strain the heart muscle and deplete CoQ10 levels. Running two marathons in just six weeks amps up this demand—your body faces cumulative fatigue, muscle damage, and potential cardiovascular stress from repeated high exertion.

Studies show CoQ10 supplementation may help athletes by reducing oxidative stress, boosting antioxidant activity, and lowering inflammation markers like TNF-a and IL-6 in runners. It could improve heart health, regulate blood pressure, reduce fatigue, and enhance recovery, allowing better performance and less strain during back-to-back events. For endurance athletes, it’s linked to better physical output and metabolism support.

Typical doses for athletes range from 100-300 mg daily, often in ubiquinol form for better absorption. However, benefits vary; it’s not a magic pill. If you’re on statins or have heart issues, CoQ10 might interact—always consult a doctor before starting. Overall, for your marathon schedule, it could be a smart addition to support heart resilience and energy.
