TOXIC CHEMICALS IN OUR HOME, IN OUR FOOD AND IN OUR LIVES

TOXIC CHEMICALS IN OUR HOME,
IN OUR FOOD AND IN OUR LIVES
By Laura Laffranchini

For many of us, chemical attack may be an everyday scenario in our home, and we’re not even aware that it’s happening! From our morning coffee and mouthwash to body lotion, makeup, hairspray, air deodorizers, your favorite perfume, the manicured lawns and the golf course across the street…even your ‘fresh’ laundry is probably washed in a pool of chemicals…and speaking of chemicals and pools, do you own a pool? And if you’re not eating organic, you’re being forced to ingest chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, synthetic hormones, antibiotics. And what about the air we breath and the water we shower and brush our teeth with, the electromagnetic chaos all around us? All of these things add up to play a major role in the deterioration of our health, affecting the way we feel. For most of us, it comes up as fatigue, chronic allergies, immune troubles, stress disorders, depression and can even cause neurological disorders, hormone imbalance and any number of other disorders. For some, more serious diseases may manifest. When the body is under constant attack from these poisons, the immune system has to fight very hard to keep the body healthy.

It’s never too early or too late to reduce or eliminate when possible, these toxins from your life. An easy way to begin is to eliminate perfumes and colognes-there are fragrances such as essential oils, some derived from flowers, great for women, and others derived from things such as sandlewood, a great male fragrance. Most popular fragrances that are worn these days contain between 250 and 400 toxic chemicals that we spray directly onto our skin and then absorb into our bloodstream! Our body attempts to filter all these chemicals through our lymph system, but there’s only so much waste it can dump a day, then it’s forced to store it. Next, and very important for you and your children, is to get the rest of the chemicals out of your house. Allergies may lessen, you may see a difference in your family’s ability to focus and relax. There are many alternative cleansers and personal products for cleaning your home and bathing.

Now, take a look in your refrigerator and pantry. The importance of clean, organic whole food is top on my list! Non-organic foods are full of all the chemicals mentioned above and then some. Now we have genetically modified food, irradiated food, nitrates, preservatives, artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners…how can they even be called foods anymore? If you consume dairy or meat that isn’t organic, the hormones we’re subjecting our children to are causing girls to develop by the age of nine. Endometriosis in young girls and older women, and boys developing breasts and acne has been a growing problem for the last 3-4 decades.
For your family’s health, I suggest packing your fridge, pantry and cupboards full of organic and natural whole foods, cleansers and personal care products so that you will know that what you are giving your family is truly nature’s best. By the way, these products taste, smell and feel good!

Love from the Harvest Family…..
