POPS stand for Persistent Organic Pollutants, and these pollutants play a HUGE role in your METABOLISM when dieting.
_
Commonly called, “The Dirty Dozen”, you can be exposed to POPS through:
- Pesticides
- Fatty Animal Foods with high concentrations of POPS
- Chemical Solvents
- Pharmaceuticals
- Industrial Chemicals
- Indoor/Outdoor Air Pollutants
- Drinking Water
_
POPs increasingly accumulate as they move up the food chain, reaching the greatest concentrations in predatory birds, fish, and mammals.
_
Your body stores them in fat cells as a protective mechanism. When fat is burned, they are released in large concentrations and can do damage and slow the metabolism.
_
Increasing the livers ability to detoxify and remove POPs is key. Detox with: - Dandelion root,
- Milk thistle,
- Alpha lipoic acid (think flaxseeds, canola oil, soybeans/tofu, pumpkin seeds and walnuts), and
- Vitamin C
- Green tea,
- Oolong tea,
- Mate tea, and
- Ginger root.
