How Green Cleaning Can Change Your Home

September 7, 2017 By Roxanne Leave a Comment

green cleaningLet's talk about green cleaning. Every home has on average 62 different toxic chemicals present at any one time. This is worrying for obvious reasons, but more so because we spend 90 percent of our time indoors according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This means we are constantly touching, breathing in and ingesting these chemicals. Whether you’re at home or at work, going about your daily life usually includes getting your daily dose of volatile organic compounds which are typically found in your cleaning products.

What can be done about it? Unfortunately, the U.S. hasn't made many labeling laws for toxic substances. No one knows the true depth of exactly how devastating these products can be on your health and food sources. However, there is good news. It’s not hard to eliminate these toxic chemicals from your cleaning regime and your life. Here’s a look at how to do it.

Arguably the most important point in using single-ingredient cleaning products is that they can help revolutionize how you interact and treat your living space. You will find most of these ingredients in your cupboard, so they’ll not only be better for you, but they’ll be cheaper, too!

Anti-Aging Exercises

Do you include Anti-Aging Exercises in your weekly routine? You can't travel the straight and narrow path of clean living without exercise. “But I don't want to spend hours in the gym,” you may say. Well, of course not. Sweating it out in the gym is not the only way to get in a good workout that leads to better-looking skin and overall youthfulness. Of course a healthy skin care routine keeps skin bright and beautiful but also Yoga and Pilates are exercises that give you the flexibility needed to combat aging. The key to success with these workouts lies in the concepts of BE-FIT and BE-SAFE.

Well, duh! Of course, you want to be fit and safe 

Yeah, no, that's not what we mean when we say BE-FIT, BE-SAFE. The phrase is actually an acronym that stands for all of the elements needed to get in a good workout that contributes to youthfulness. Continue Reading

Cheese addiction … Ahhhh that luscious gooey substance that we pile on anything that we can get our hands on- from eggs to potatoes, pasta to meat, from soup to nuts as it were…. Cheese!

What makes this dastardly villain to our health so hard to quit? We know it causes cancer, we know it makes us fat, and yet, still we add it to our otherwise healthy food choices with happiness and vigor! (albeit with the occasional, “I really shouldn’t, buuuuut……”)

Why Cheese Addiction is a Thing

Hold on to your hats folks. You may be surprised to learn that cheese Continue Reading
