In celebration of Earth Day, I recommend getting some of the non-toxic cleaners.  Not only will you save money on cleaning supplies but you will be eliminating those toxic chemicals in your home.

Are Your Household Cleaners Safe?

What common cleaning product is:

• Linked to reproductive harm
• can cause irritation and tissue damage from inhalation
• Exposure for 15 min while cleaning the shower, could inhale 3x the acute exposure limit
• Toxic to kidneys and liver
• exposure through the skin

This is not something that you would use if you knew that, right? Unfortunately, this IS a common household cleaning product -- Windex.

Is there an alternative? Absolutely - and it cleans better and is less expensive than Windex.

Chemicals In Your Home Causing Weight Gain?

I've been reading the Body Restoration Plan by Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton. I highly recommend this book. She explains how the toxic chemicals in our food and environment damage our body, causing weight gain especially around the 'middle'.

Dr. Baillie-Hamilton shows you how to identify which foods have the highest chemicals, how to detoxify, how to rid your home of these dangerous toxins and much much more!

She gives compelling evidence linking the rise in the number of people overweight and the growth in synthetic chemicals.

Here are easy steps you can do each day.

Remove the Lead in Your Water

Yes, these 11 are the most frequently found compounds in your water. Plus there are lots more!

Did you know that up to 20% of lead exposure comes from your water?

Long term exposure to lead in infants and children may cause reduced IQ,learning disabilities, and impaired growth.

In Adults, long-term exposure to lead may cause kidney problems, nerve disorders, and high blood pressure!

What's in Your Water? Here are a few of the most common things found in our water.

1. Disinfection By-products: Long-term exposure may cause increased risk of cancer, as well as liver, kidney, or central nervous system problems.
2. Heavy Metals: Even at low levels, long-term exposure may cause behavioral problems and learning disabilities
3. Agricultural Pollutants: Long-term exposure may cause increased risk of cancer, as well as eye, liver, kidney, spleen, blood, and nervous system problems
4. Industrial Pollutants: Long-term exposure may cause increased risk of cancer, as well as blood, nervous system, kidney, and liver problems.

So why not just use bottled water? Here are a few reasons not to:

1. Bad Choice for Your Wallet
• Bottled water is 100s to 1,000s time more expensive than tap water
2. Bad Choice for the Environment
• 1.5 million barrels of oil are used in the production of bottled water each year—enough to fuel 50,000 cars for one year
• 1,640,000 tons of packaging waste come from bottled water
• Only 34% of water bottles are recycled

3. Bottled water may not be contaminant free.
The Environmental Working Group found 10 popular brands had a total of 38 contaminants
