12 things to ditch for a healthier home
Because they're making it toxic.
Your home could be making you sick — and you might not even know it.
The path to living well isn’t just about what you eat or how you move. It’s about understanding your body in the context of the environment you expect it to thrive within. And supporting that environment by keeping it as free as possible from the pollutants that silently undermine your health. The tricky bit is that many of us are unaware of what we're exposing ourselves to in the first place.
That’s why this may be some of the most important information I can share with you.
In this piece, I want to pull back the curtain on the hidden toxins many of us live with daily — and offer straightforward solutions. On their own, these pollutants may not do much. But they’re cumulative. Which means that they build up in your body over time, creating what’s known as your “toxic load” or “body burden.” Simplistically speaking, illness happens when that burden overwhelms your body’s natural capacity to cope (and this is different for everyone). Factor in being stressed or depressed though, perhaps not eating and sleeping as well as you should, and that “burden” gets the opportunity to mount.
But, if you put into play the small changes that I suggest here — 12 things to send packing from your home — it will add up to big shifts for future you. After all, what you do today really does protect your tomorrow, so now is the perfect time to start!
