Chemical composition of your home use products

Being aware of the chemicals you use in your home is an eye-opening experience. Are you aware that some ingredients in standard household chemicals can create a toxic gas that can be life ending? I once was cleaning my toilet, it had a bleach item in it and I was using ammonia. Suddenly a cloud of gas began to appear. I quickly exited and opened all the house windows. I had no idea at the time that I created something that could have ended my life! Just the thought of it makes me shiver! 

Thankfully I have learned since then, and rarely use the chemicals that have the potential to destroy the tissue in my lungs. Different products also cause problems in our gut which is why so many people are hooked on anti-acids and other health destroying products. We are a product or our environment, and when we take care of our environment, we can live healthier lives. A healthy gut has a good bacteria balance (think Greek yogurt, pre and pro biotics, acidophilus) that supports better health.

Th harsh checmial products also destroy our environment. Many people think their toilet is not clean unless they pour chlorine bleach in it. This destroys the good bacteria in septic tanks and septic systems. People in rural areas (like me) have a septic tank that needs good bacteria or the sewage will back up into the house. In urban areas and upscale rural areas people connect to a city septic system. That system also needs good bacteria! Just like our body needs to be supported, so does our environment. This is where we learn about bio-degradable products. Laundry soap, dish soap, floor cleaner, toilet cleaner - you name it, there are healthier options, and the best news is you get paid to teach and refer others after you become a customer.

Next let's talk about hair and body care. Common shampoos and conditioners actually have products that can create memory problems. These harsh chemicals are absorbed into your body every time you wash your hair. Certina bar soaps and shower gels are also causing hormonal and chemical disruptions every time you use them. When you shift the products you use to healthier options you are protecting your skin. 

Supplements are a reality we all must embrace. Most people do not grow their own food and we must eat what is highly processed, shipped across great distances, and sadly, covered in chemicals that our body becomes inflamed by. Most of us require a supplement to gain the nutrition we need from our food and to combat the damage being done by processes used to create the food. 

All is not lost! Together we can start changing our habits and collectively make a difference for ourselves and the future. We can embrace using scientifically proven products and help support the people committed to making a better world. 

So how about joining me in the wellness revolution? Let's make a healthier world!
