central nervous systemcardiovascular systemgastrointestinal systemlungskidneysliverendocrine glandsbones
Fortunately, integrative interventions likeselenium and garlic have been shown to decrease the buildup and increase the excretion of toxic heavy metals.
Risk Factors for Toxic Metal Exposure
Lead:
Lead-containing plumbingLead-based paints (in buildings built before 1978 and is the predominant source for children) Foods grown in lead-rich soil
Mercury:
Eating fish or shellfish contaminated with methylmercury (includes shark, swordfish, king mackerel, tile fish, bass, walleye, pickerel)Breathing contaminated workplace air or skin contact during use in the workplaceRelease of mercury vapor from dental amalgam fillings
Cadmium
Tobacco smokeEating foods containing cadmium (levels are highest in grains, legumes, and leafy vegetables, fish and shellfish)Contact with cadmium from household products (electric batteries and solar panels)
