I’ve written a bunch about the impact Dr. Casey Means’ Good Energy has had on our diet and exercise. One area I haven’t covered is around reducing toxins. We’ve made a few simple changes that have reduced our exposure to chemicals.
(1) Soap: Switched to Dr Bronner’s Castille soap – we love it.
(2) Dishwasher: Replaced plastic dishwasher tablets with Blueland tablets. Goodbye chemicals and plastics.
(3) Laundry: Replaced plastic laundry pods with Costco’s “Ultra clean” with no perfumes or dyes.
(4) Deoderant: Switched to an Alum stone Deoderant. This has been magical for me.
(5) Farmer’s market: We’ve added a farmer’s market stop on our weekend grocery run. I never knew fruit could be so tasty.
(6) Water: We’ve been using a filter for a few years but we realized it doesn’t work for some of the more harmful chemicals in our tap water (thank you EWG’s tap water database). After a bit of research into reverse osmosis (which we learnt removes contaminants and helpful minerals), we’ve gone with Rorra. Its impact has been discernible.
The impact of small changes have a way of adding up and then compounding over time.
