We've all heard it...YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT.
And we all know what it means...eat fatty, unhealthy foods and you will be fat and unhealthy...eat fresh, whole foods and you will be healthy and lean.
But did you ever consider...
You are what you INHALE?
You are what you ABSORB?
INHALATION
In one decade, there has been a 42% increase in asthma: 29% for men and 82% for women-the higher rate for women is believed to be due to women's longer exposure times to household chemicals.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission points out that poisoning sometimes happens slowly and its effects build cumulatively and synergistically, so symptoms may not become apparent right away. This is why many people may not even realize they are being adversely affected when using household cleaners.
Our bodies were not designed to eliminate many of these chemicals, so we accumulate them in the fat cells of our body, where they slowly overload our systems; putting tremendous strain on the liver and immune system to such an extent that disease becomes apparent. Diseases that used to be rare are becoming more frequent, and illnesses that were once associated with old age, are becoming prevalent in children.
Hazardous chemical concentrations are 2-5 times higher inside our homes then outdoors.
There has been a 28% increase in childhood cancer since the addition of pesticides into household products.
Indoor air pollution is a suspected culprit in SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), which will claim about 5,000 US lives this year.
The Western consumer is inundated with advertising claims touting the advantages to speed, convenience and "fresh scent" while ignoring the health and environmental dangers.
ABSORPTION
Our skin is less of a suit of armor, and more of a fishnet. Our delicate skin cells are quite permeable, and substances seep through our very being and end up in our blood stream with ease.
Think of the nicotine patch or the hormone patch. Scientists now realize just how easy it is to filter and flow substances into our core.
Many personal care products can be a source of toxic, skin-leaching chemicals. Home cleaning products, too, contain harsh chemicals that can be dangerous to the skin. The skin of infants and children is especially porous, allowing many more toxins to wreak their wrath.
Both absorption and inhalation of toxins can cause:
poor health
headaches
obesity
arthritic pain
fatigue
chronic infections
cancer
autoimmune disease
neurological disease
mood disorders
behavior challenges (hyperactivity, autism, etc.)
bowel disease
immune disease
cardiovascular disease
reproductive problems including infertility.
My point is...let's all take a step to clear our homes of harmful products! We owe it to our families to do this! I shop for better safer products that COST LESS and are delivered to my door.
Let me tell you about how easy it is to switch stores. I don't sell the products but can definitely share how you can shop for these products, too! IT'S EASY!
