Ever wondered why you feel sluggish despite eating well and exercising?
The answer might be hiding in plain sight – in your kitchen cupboards, bathroom cabinet, or even your favourite sofa.
Our modern world exposes us to countless toxins daily, but don’t worry – small changes can make a significant difference.
Take a look around your living space.
From cleaning products to air fresheners, personal care items to furniture, many everyday items contain chemicals that can affect our wellbeing.
Recognising these sources is your first step toward creating a healthier environment.
Open your kitchen cupboards and read some labels.
Processed foods often contain preservatives, artificial colours, and flavour enhancers that our bodies weren’t designed to handle.
Even seemingly innocent packaging can leach unwanted chemicals into our food.
Choosing whole, unprocessed foods isn’t just about nutrition – it’s about reducing your exposure to unnecessary additives.
Opt for fresh produce, whole grains, and natural ingredients.
When possible, choose organic options for foods known to have higher pesticide residues.
Indoor air often contains more pollutants than outdoor air.
Common culprits include:
Your grandmother might have been onto something with her simple cleaning methods.
Vinegar, baking soda, and lemon can tackle most household cleaning tasks effectively without introducing harsh chemicals into your environment.
Your skin absorbs what you put on it.
Check your personal care products for potentially harmful ingredients.
Consider switching to natural alternatives for items you use daily, like deodorant, moisturiser, and shampoo.
Environmental toxins aren’t just chemicals – electromagnetic fields and excessive screen time can affect your wellbeing too.
Create boundaries around technology use and designate tech-free zones in your home.
Your body has amazing natural detoxification systems.
