It’s Time for Spring Cleaning.

We all want to come home to a clean, bacteria-free home that smells like a cool spring breeze. But, the more we learn about household cleaners the scarier they can be. It is time to learn about natural yet effective home cleaning tools that can save you time and money while making sure you safeguard your health!

Just because you don’t put something in your mouth doesn’t mean that you aren’t absorbing it! It’s true. In Micronutrient Miracle we shared with you how your skin is constantly absorbing the things it comes into contact with, and the average person sure is giving it a lot to drink in. In fact, the average woman uses 12 beauty and skin products containing 168 different ingredients daily. Men aren’t far behind, using six products daily with 85 unique ingredients. But who uses the most products? It might surprise you, but teen girls (whose smaller bodies are still developing hormonally) actually use an average of 17 personal care products each day—40 percent more than an adult woman.

And these numbers are only the beginning in terms of what your body is absorbing. Think about the dish detergent, stain-resistant chemically coated carpeting and furniture, cleaning products, Teflon-coated pans, laundry cleaners, dryer sheets, and air fresheners you come into contact with daily. It really adds up. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, approximately 70,000 chemicals are commonly used across the world, with 1,000 new chemicals being introduced every year! While many of these new industrialized chemicals act as obesogens, disrupting your endocrine system and causing weight gain and hormonal issues, all of them increase your toxic load.

And your body only has two ways of handling this toxic load: Either the toxins wreak havoc in your body—causing thyroid issues, neurological damage, or even cancer—or, preferably, you have enough essential micronutrients around for natural detoxification to occur. As it turns out, micronutrients work as the body’s natural detoxifiers, affecting both the absorption and excretion of these toxic contaminants. So you may not be able to tell your boss that the air freshener has to go, but you can reduce its obesogenic effect by making sure you are sufficient in your essential micronutrients, specifically the antioxidants (vitamins A, C, E, and alpha-lipoic acid) as well as magnesium, selenium, and zinc. Zinc is actually an important immune strengthener and tissue healer and is necessary for the functioning of many detoxifying enzymes, thus helping to protect the cells from pollutant toxins.
