LIFESTYLE

GREEN
your insides
By Dr Jennifer Barham-Floreani

My mother likes to
remind me, “Things aren’t
the way they used to be.”
She’s right.

Parents today are raising children
in a very different world. Food is
injected and sprayed (funnily, so
are many of our celebrity idols!),
water is laden with chemicals, as are many of the products we
use, from deodorants and shampoos to furniture and paint. There
are many stressors accompanying our modern lifestyle and parents are
right to be alarmed because children are particularly vulnerable to them.
