One out of every four Americans may be diagnosed with cancer. And yet, we pour the toxins into our bodies. The average American adult consumes about 22 teaspoons of sugar a day; many chemicals are hidden in processed foods. The average woman exposes herself to approximately 200 chemicals daily with makeup, lotion, and cleansers. The word “fragrance” can cover up to 200 chemicals in it. Beatrice Hair dedicates her life to helping people achieve breakthroughs in health and education. Her new book, Body Wisdom; Natural Health in You is available on Amazon.com, Audible.com, and iTunes, Simply Good Natural Foods, Maia’s Fashions, Binder Chiropractic Center and the Salisbury Tutoring Academy.
