Transition to non-toxic living is a journey of small manageable steps.

• Choose clean, whole, fresh organic foods to reduce exposure to pesticides.

• Avoid plastic containers and wraps. Take your bag to the store.

• Storage glass and stainless steel or ceramic.

• Use safe cookware. Ditch your nonstick pans coated with PTFE, which have been linked to health problems. Choose safer options like cast iron, stainless steel, or glass.

• Filter your water. Whether through a refrigerator or install a filtration under your sink. This will remove harmful contaminants from your drinking water.

Cleaning and home maintenance:

• Common pantry items like white vinegar, baking soda and essential oils and non-toxic cleaning products.

• Avoid synthetic fragrances and scented candles which release VOCs and other harmful chemicals. Alternative is a beeswax candle or open windows (depending on where your live-I am in Florida where air quality is not great).

• Improve indoor air. Use spider plants, snake plants to help filter the air. Activated charcoal bags are also effective at absorbing toxins.

Personal Care:

• Read labels carefully. look for non-toxic, organic or natural and clean ingredients.

• Harmful ingredients on labels avoid: Parabens, Phthalates and Sulfates.

• Clothing choice if possible, opt for natural fibers like organic cotton, linen and hemp.

The importance of mindset:

• Start small - you do not have to overhaul your whole lifestyle.

• Focus on progress and educate yourself with small steps.

Good luck with all and remember education, small steps and most of all laugh, live and stay healthy.
