Increased fibre intake in the diet (although they don't explain why this helps)
Menstruation (not really an option for those of a male persuasion, children or older women)
Having a child (you pass on the pfas to them
)
Replace non-stick cookware with ceramic, stainless steel or cast iron alternatives,
Use a water filter
Switch to PFA free cleaning products.
Look for "fluoro" or "PTFE" and avoid those ingredients in make-up and hair products
Keep carpets vacuumed if these are likely to be treated with stain repellents,
Avoid "waterproof" or "stain-repellent" labels unless they have a PFAS-free certification
Eat only organic foods as pesticides often contain pfas to stop them washing off in rain
