Why Detox Your Home?

You eat healthily. You exercise. You meditate. You drink enough water and get enough sleep. That’s Great! However, for optimal health and sustainability, let’s take it one step further. 

The air quality inside of your home is 2-4 times more polluted than the outside air. If someone in your family suffers from allergies, they are probably sleeping with the enemy. Beds are a favorite residence for the millions of dust mites that live in our homes. 

Our homes are like a second skin. If your home is suffering from toxic chemical or allergens overload, chances are your family’s bodies are struggling with toxicity as well. Now that you are spending 98% of the time in our homes, you should consider a home detox.

Every spray, cream, gel, paste, potion, or lotion that you use, your skin absorbs into your body. Then the product must go through the body’s digestive process. Unfortunately, some of the ingredients get stuck, settle into your internal organs, and increase the chances of illness and disease. 

Every baby born today in the western world has over 200 chemicals already in their umbilical cord blood. The average adult is exposed to over 100 chemicals every day, just in your personal care products. These chemicals, whether they seep through your skin or rinse down the drain, are causing havoc to your health.

Cleaning products are also making you sick. The ingredients in these products are chemical cocktails. To increase sales, the competitors in the home cleaning industry are always adding smells, bells, and whistles to get your attention. Unfortunately, there has been no consideration made to the consumer or environmental health problems caused by their products. 

That new car, new paint, new anything smells, are terrible for your health. Those smells are VOCs or Volatile Organic Compounds. Don’t let the word “organic” confuse you. VOCs are toxic airborne chemicals that you are inhaling into your lungs and bloodstream. Google the phrase off-gassing for more information.

You know that you need to eat more fruits and veggies and eat less dairy, meat, and junk food. Sadly, something else that you must think about is the chemicals that your food is exposed to before it arrives on your plate. GMOs, herbicides, pesticides, and antibiotics, to name a few.

These chemicals react differently in the body depending on the living environment and what that body is exposed to. However, the results are the same: hormone-disrupting, difficulty breathing/asthma, nausea, migraine headaches, allergies, blindness, inflammatory diseases, organ damage/failure, nervous system illnesses, cancer, ADHD, and other learning disabilities.

Yes, we know this information is distressing but have no fear; we are here to help you! Follow along for the next two weeks to learn how to Detox Your Home and continue to live in a WELL Home.
