Getting rid of chemicals

by Colleen
(Ontario, Canada)

My journey to a healthy lifestyle began over a year ago. I had to really look at why I was continually getting ill, from such things as gluten allergy, to a chemical allergy, that started after working in my home-based salon for almost twenty years.

The best way I can tell anyone about healthy living is to first start with "how we fuel our bodies." And I mean really look at everything we eat, every cleaner we inhale, even down to the moisturizers and toothpaste we choose each day.

It took my body a while to heal naturally, but with the help of a wonderful naturopathic doctor, and learning how to begin to live mindfully. Being aware of EVERYTHING!

I am happy to report with a healthy diet, and a few other changes I have overcome a tremendous amount of "bumps" in my life. I am now on the road to a very healthy lifestyle.

I wish everyone a happy road to health!

Thank you Colleen! I completely agree that avoiding chemical-laden food and products as much as possible is definitely a key factor in improving our physical health and contributes to living a healthier lifestyle.

Our bodies naturally cleanse and detoxify themselves but in the world today, so much of what we put in and on our bodies just overwhelms our systems with toxins. Check out body cleansing and detoxification to find out how your body does this and simple things to do to help it.
