How To Make Your Home Healthier

Things to make your home healthier.

Easy detox to-do list:

• Avoid personal products with fragrance.
• Unplug air fresheners (baking soda is a natural alternative).
• Use natural household cleansers.
• Make sure your shower curtains and liners are eco-friendly.
• Get rid of non-stick cookware (consider replacing with properly “seasoned” cast iron skillets).
• Read labels (Teflon can appear in lipstick, for example).
• Pop your own popcorn (bags for microwave popcorn often contain Teflon).
• Dust and vacuum often.
• Use chemical-free natural fibers.
• Avoid white albacore canned tuna, which has the highest level of mercury.
• Wash your hands with soap, rather than with anti-bacterial cleansers.
• Aim for chemical free lawns (mine is all weeds, but it’s green in color and green in enviro-friendliness).
• Avoid putting plastic containers in the microwave.
• Store food in Pyrex or other glass containers rather than plastic.
• Use cloth bags for shopping.
• Buy a steel reusable water bottle and avoid disposable plastic bottles.
• Buy new pillows yearly (as much as half the weight of your pillow can be dust mites).
• Avoid plastic bags from the dry cleaner (allow your clothes to air out; plastic traps chemicals inside).
• Drink filtered tap water, which is better than drinking bottled water.
• Use a filter for your shower to prevent gasses from being released.
