1. Foods and pesticides & 2 Food Preservatives
Problem: Chemicals added to make food last longer, or look better for higher sales.
Solution: Buy bakery bread, and ask to be sure they aren't using additives. Buy organic fresh, frozen or canned foods.
3. Dairy
Problem: These days milk from cows can be laden with antibiotics and their food filled with chemicals and can still be sold for human consumption.
Solution: Buy milk from cows raised naturally, or switch to soya milk for some of your baking, and on cereals. This is easily done by introducing it slowly into your new way of eating.
4. Deodorant
Problem: Some brands contain aluminum, and your skin absorbs it!
Solution: Buy brands without it. Try use baking soda
- if it works to absorb odors around the house, it will work for you too - and it's smooth.
5. Stress
Problem: Living in pain from emotions, abuse, crisis and over working.
Solution: Include a few stress relieving habits in your life. Start with a one to 2 hour weekly ritual. It could be a massage. If you don't have the time and little money Sue Augustine's book
