Switch & Ditch

Hi friends.

This isn’t a fun topic, but I think it’s necessary. There was a time where I had no idea what was in my products or my food. I didn’t care either. I had no clue that there could be toxins lurking in what we were using in our home.

Once I understood that reality, we began to slowly clean up our foods and our household and body care items. We started ditching our old items for cleaners ones that benefit our health. Read about why I am so passionate about switching out your products. Your’e worth it.

Products that are commonly consumed by American’s can be laden with toxins that affect every system of our bodies! Yuck! The problem lies in that most products are not tested for human health and safety, and America has one of the lowest number of toxic ingredient bans when compared to other countries.

These include, but are not limited to:

+ Cleaners (cancerous, hormone disrupting, respiratory irritation etc)
+ Make-ups and body care products (endocrine disrupting, skin irritants, and more)
+ Food (hormones, neurotoxins, antibiotics)
+ Laundry products 
+ Medications
+ Candles … don’t even get me started on these!

…. You get the picture I’m painting. 

Unfortunately, we even see harmful ingredients in products that are labeled “green” or “natural”. It’s called greenwashing and it is deceptive. 

Example: The ingredient “fragrance” is in majority of household products. Dryer sheets are basically a sheet of fragrance. Fragrant plugins, room sprays, hair care, body care, cleaning products, diapers, detergent, candles etc.. FRAGRANCE. Fragrance or parfum is a masked term for a large amount of potential ingredients. Because it is considered a company’s “trade secret”, the ingredient list does not have to be exposed. Because of this, there can be SO MANY BAD TOXINS hidden in fragrances! There has been research to show that there are even multiple carcinogenic ingredients hiding in those commonly used ingredients. Hormone disrupting ingredients are frequent. Your hormones are important – so are your kid’s hormones! Hormones affect pretty much every body function. Ditch the fragrance. Do the research.

There are a couple of apps and websites you can use to check out your current products or ingredients.. EWG’s website and EWG’s skin deep, as well as the app “Think Dirty”.

There are options for natural, plant based, household and body care products, supplements, health remedies, organic and non gmo- foods, etc.

If you want to know the first step in cleaning up your life style, start looking into healthier options to put on your plate and then switch out clean products as you ditch old ones. Take it one step at a time.

Young Living has been that one stop shop for our family’s clean products. Products we can trust and that eliminate the guessing game.
