Did you know a study published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine found that using spray cleaning products regularly can be as harmful to respiratory health as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day over a 20-year period?
I know what you’re thinking…
Holy s#%t.
Same here.
Unfortunately, common household items like these add up to one thing: a buildup of toxins.
This buildup eventually becomes detrimental to our bodies, our home, and our planet.
That’s why I need to share this information with you that could be game changing for your health.
I know you’re probably in fight-or-flight mode right now, and your brains spinning over all the products y
ou’re using that could fall into this category.
But don’t worry! There’s tiny changes you can make to live your life with as few toxins as possible.
You can reduce harmful toxins in your body and home by a whopping 95% with a low-tox lifestyle!
Before we get into how you can live this lifestyle, you need to know what to get rid of.
These toxins are extremely common and largely unregulated as they are used in low doses.
Chances are, you have one or many of these in your home already:
- Candles
- Aerosol spray and cleaning products
- Plastic food containers
…and that’s just the beginning.
Toxins can be found in beauty and body products to cleaning products, cookware, and so much more.
A low-tox lifestyle is living life in a way that prioritizes a healthy body, environment, and planet.
The next thing I’m going to tell you will most likely shock you, I know it shocked me…
The air pollution inside your home is 2-5 times higher than outdoor air pollution levels.
It’s a common myth that outdoor air is dirtier than indoors, but that’s not the case.
Who else had terrible allergies growing up? 👀 🖐️
I was always stuffy. To top it off, heartburn and headaches were a daily occurrence.
But today?
I don’t get headaches and my allergies (finally) skipped town.
Before I learned the truth about these everyday toxins, I always had a candle lit, air fresheners going, and my windows closed.
I ate like crap, used toxic cleaning products and had artificial fragrance everywhere.
If you’re ready to give a low tox lifestyle a try, but you don’t know where to start, don’t stress.
Low tox living is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s not about throwing out everything you use; it’s about making small changes that will help you live healthier.
