Non-Toxic Skin Care & Personal Care Products

Our health is affected by nutrition, exercise, stress, and also other toxins and chemicals. ๐Ÿฆ 

Every day, the average woman uses about a dozen personal care products containing more than 100 chemicals. ๐Ÿงช

Your skin absorbs what you put on it.๐ŸงดChemicals, oils and makeup are absorbed into your skin and blood stream and circulate into the entire body. ๐Ÿฉธ

๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธLook for skin care items that have natural ingredients and do not contain parabens, sulfates, phthalates, artificial colors and fragrances (perfum). Choose those with clean, natural ingredients and that are cruelty free.

๐Ÿ‘ƒMost deodorants contain aluminum. This is linked to breast cancer. Do not use antiperspirants. Anything that prevents you from sweating, will trap toxins in your body.

๐ŸŒฑ Switch to organic tampons and pads. 85% of tampons tested found traces of the toxic herbicide glyphosate.

๐Ÿฆท Choose non-fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash. Contrary to popular belief, fluoride is a chemical, which is highly toxic to the liver and can cause cancer.

Switch to organic, all natural body products. Get away from the major brands, not using safe nontoxic materials. The US has loose regulations and companies are not obligated to disclose all the harmful ingredients. ๐Ÿ˜ก

I am aware that for some, it might be hard to believe these facts or switch to other type of products after believing for so many years for example that fluoride is beneficial, but I would be glad to elaborate further if requested on any of these items. Or even better, do your own research. ๐Ÿง

The question I get the most is where I get protein from. I use leafy greens as the base for most of my salads because they have the most bioavailable protein available for humans. Not only that, but leafy greens help reverse all protein related diseases (gout, kidney disease, gallstones etc), which are caused from protein sources not breaking down or assimilating to the body. ๐Ÿฅฌ๐Ÿฅฌ๐Ÿฅฌ

๐Ÿฅ’Cucumbers contain high fiber, hydrating electrolytes and have wonderful anti-inflammatory benefits.

๐Ÿ…Tomatoes are an excellent source of lycopene, which is knowing to help prevent many types of cancers.

๐Ÿซ‘Bell peppers have 6 times more Vitamin C as oranges and are also packed with Vitamin A and beta carotene.

โค๏ธRed cabbage has a high percentage of photo-chemicals and it is great for boosting the immunce system and reducing inflammation in the body.
