It’s a harsh reality to face that since the 2011 Fukushima earthquake, tsunami and meltdown, 20 trillion to 40 trillion Becquerel’s of radioactive tritium has leaked into the Pacific Ocean, in addition to large amounts of cesium, and strontium which replace calcium in the bones and remain in human bodies and sea life.
More than 300 tons of radioactive water is still being released into the sea each day.
While we feel far away and protected from the damage of the 2011 disaster, the effects of radiation last for a long time and continue to spread for years. So much so, that some cow’s milk samples taken from across the US after the Fukushima incident have three times higher the radiation levels than the EPA maximums.
Radiation exposure breaks down the cells in the body and is a prominent cause of cancer, so protecting yourself against radiation exposure is important.
Luckily, avoiding certain foods and increasing your intake of others can contribute to increasing your body’s auto defense against radiation.
