Toxins are everywhere, but avoiding them can be overwhelming! Here are some of my favorite fast and easy ways to start detoxing your life!

Toxins are everywhere, but avoiding them can be overwhelming! Here are some of my favorite fast and easy ways to start detoxing your life!

The average American home contains over 63 hazardous products… What?

Yep, you heard that right. 63. And you may be thinking, well I only have a few… That’s what I thought too. Seriously, I would have thought that I had maybe 5-6. 8 Max… but when I went into my memory to the time before I had ridded my family of those toxins and counted up how many I had… 47! CRAZY!

Those toxins add up fast! And since Americans spend between 80-90% of their time inside we are exposing ourselves (and our families) to those chemicals very frequently!

From antiperspirants to perfumes, from toilet bowl cleaners to over-the-counter pain killers, from skin care products to “air fresheners” and candles with synthetic perfumes, Americans have been slowly poisoning themselves and their families with hundreds of chemical compounds that the body is unequipped to deal with.

It can be pretty overwhelming to think about all the chemicals that surround us and our families everyday. So here are a few easy ways to get started that are fast to implement!

Ways to Start Detoxing Your Food

We all have "junk food" favorites, but making homemade versions of your favorite foods with top quality ingredients is one of the best ways to start your family detoxing for all the "junk" that we consume!

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
Homemade Graham Crackers
How to Make and Freeze Homemade Pizza
Homemade Ranch Dressing (dairy free options)
Homemade Marshmallows
Homemade Cream Cheese

And of course, clean eating organic and grass fed food is another good way to clean up your toxic load. Here are my favorite tips for clean eating on a budget!
