Our health and wellbeing are important to us, and when we become parents, health and wellbeing become the top priority for us and our kids. Unfortunately, we can’t live healthily or be fit if we keep exposing ourselves to toxins. Toxins are substances that we ingest, inhale and absorb through our skin. They are in our food, medicine and preservatives; our environment (air pollutants) and in products we use to clean windows, doors and the rest of our home – chemical substances. Nobody is saying this directly, but study after study have shown the impact of toxins on our health – diseases like cancer, low immune resistance to diseases caused by microorganism and autoimmune disorders where the body attacks itself.

Toxin free living is a lifestyle change, wherein everything that you and your family eat, drink and use come from natural sources and reputable organic products, including cleaning agents to keep your home germ free. Toxin free living at a glance offers you a peep into how to eliminate or reduce toxins in and around you:

Washing Fresh Fruits and Vegetables – One way to ensure food, especially fresh produce, are clean and free from pollutants and dust is to soak them first in water with 1 teaspoon baking soda. Baking soda is a well-known natural ingredient used for cooking but also a versatile cleaning agent around the house. A little of it goes a long way.

Using Essential Oils for Cleaning – A big contribution to toxin free living are essential oils. If you have toddlers or kids, no matter their age, it is easy for them to catch colds and flu. To keep your home germ free, wipe windows, doors, floors and surfaces with a mixture essential oils, such as tea tree, rosemary, eucalyptus and lemon balm. Just a few drops will work wonders in keeping your house germ free.

Aromatherapy vs. Antibacterial Sprays – Yes, we grew up with various antibacterial sprays to disinfect the air, especially in bathrooms and living rooms. Little did we know that antimicrobial sprays can be harmful to our health! Instead of using these sprays, invest in diffuser or aromatherapy kits. Essential oils help to get rid of microbes in the environment and heal you too.

Toxin free living is a change in lifestyle, a gradual change towards healthier and natural ways of improving and maintaining the good health of your family and home. Use natural based products such as Young Living oils for best results. Oils are naturally extracted from herbs and plants for maximum health benefits.
