- Read the ingredients on all of the products you buy.
- Learn which ingredients are unhealthy for you and your loved ones.
- Live green. Rid your home of toxic chemical products that constantly release noxious fumes such as old paint cans, solvents, cleaners etc. that are just lying around, unused. This will keep your sealed and insulated home free from toxic chemicals, especially when the weather makes it difficult to get fresh air from an open window.
- Help someone in need and give away unused clothes and linen. This reduces mite-infested dust and moths. Get rid of things you don't use, before they get rid of you.
- Use only natural soaps and cosmetics. Your skin is the largest organ in the body. The daily exposure of toxic chemicals in skin care and cosmetic products are absorbed and accumulated in your body through your skin.
- Install a water filtration system for your shower and drinking water. Get what you can afford and what works best for the area you live in. Any type of filtration is better than nothing. When you shower, bathe or drink water that is not filtered, chlorine, fluoride and other toxic substances are absorbed and stored in your body.
- Take off your shoes at your doorway. Up to 40% of the lead we expose ourselves to, is tracked into our homes on the soles of our shoes from pollution and other dirt.
By spending your hard earned money on local, green and earth-friendly products, you use your purchasing power to support your community and your home environment.
Ways To Help Detoxify Your Mind:
- Create a healthy mental attitude. Turn off negative television, rid your computer of unproductive programs and clean your surroundings of stress-inducing information. By eliminating undesirable images right before you sleep, it will help you achieve a good night's rest. Life goes by quickly. So, don’t waste it by watching cynical world news and empty television shows. Read a motivational book, go back to school or do an inspiring activity with your loved ones. Go out, and do anything except wasting your precious time on pessimistic programming.
- Empower and educate yourself. Instead of listening to the same songs or depressing news every day, tune in to positive and inspirational educational programs during your commute to work. The additional education may be the edge you need to increase your income, your knowledge and give you the tools for a better quality of life.
