Go Natural!

Toxic chemicals exist in a huge range of household products in today’s consumer society. Everything from household cleaners and paint, to carpets and furniture contain toxins that contact your skin and fill the air you breath. While the effects of these trace amounts of toxins may go unnoticed, the long term exposure to these pollutants has been linked to increased incidence of cancer in modern societies and may also play a significant role in advancing the degenerative effects of aging.

Keeping your environment pure, uncluttered, and toxin free will have a positive effect on your health and wellness that will show through your healthy look and increased energy. The space you live in should be a sanctuary, nurturing your body, mind and spirit to encourage rejuvenation and true relaxation.

More that 100,000 chemicals now appear in products widely available on supermarket shelves, and then consider that furnishings, pet products, timber treatments, carpets, paints and other sealants that we are exposed to every day contain even more. While exposure to one or two of these chemicals may be safe on their own, the US EPA has warned that certain combinations of these chemicals can cause health risks “at levels far below present safety thresholds”.

Effecting Your Health

Short term exposure to these toxic cocktails can aggravate symptoms of fatigue, headaches, dizziness, nausea, and skin irritation within a few hours. Long term exposure has been linked to cancer, respiratory disease, immune system suppression and in some cases even genetic mutations in the form of tumors and lesions.

In other words, toxins are a stress on the body, and stress is responsible for increasing the degenerative effects of aging.

What To Do

You have many good choices available if you want to avoid introducing chemicals into your home. Choose “green” and “organic” whenever possible for personal hygiene products, cleaning products, paints, even clothing and bedding.

If you can afford to discard your current toxins and replace with green and organic products then fine, the sooner you do so the healthier you will be.  However, if immediate replacement is not possible, a simple alternative is to switch to safer products when it’s time to renew or replace.  In this way your environment will improve over time with no impact on your budget.
