Are Chemicals In Your Home Aging You?

Four Ways to Reduce Unwanted Chemicals in Your Home

There is a company that has always been about creating products in harmony with nature, whether that product is a multivitamin, shampoo, toothpaste, or a household cleaner. (Click here to learn about their decades long commitment to the environment.) Changing brands is a significant move you can make to reduce the level of toxins and unwanted chemicals you and your family are exposed to everyday. (See what toxic products you can replace with effective, economical, non-toxic alternatives.)

Here are four Shaklee action steps you can do to greatly reduce your chemical exposure in the home.

1. Replace common household and laundry cleaning products with a line of non-toxic cleaners. An easy way to do that in one fell swoop is to order the Starter Special Edition Kit. This is the same kit that Oprah loves and gave to all her audience during Shaklee’s first appearance on her show. And during the month of November, you can save a whopping 33% off on the Special Edition kit! Click here for more information or to order it online.
2. Replace common personal care products with healthier alternatives. Popular toothpaste, deodorants, shampoos and body lotions all contain chemicals that accumulate in your body through your skin. In fact, check the warning label on your current toothpaste – it tells you to keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age! You won’t find that warning on organic dentifrice toothpaste or other non-toxic personal care products - all of which are free from toxic chemicals & safe for you and your family.

3. Add a water filtration unit to your home. There are well over two thousand contaminants found in U.S. drinking water since 1974, and most municipalities only test for a small fraction of those contaminants. Plus water treatment plants add chemicals to treat drinking water - like aluminum, chlorine and sodium. In addition to treating the water, contamination can also occur from lead in water pipes and/or bacteria and dirt from leaky pipes.
   
   The best way to stop the inflow of chemicals and contaminants in your water is at the faucet itself. Water filtration units can be found to fit any budget that effectively remove chemicals and contaminants at the tap. All water filtration units will save you money over bottle water, not to mention that you won’t have to lug bottled water from the store! You'll also be putting less plastic into the landfill. You’ll also appreciate the convenience of at home water filtration. Click here for more information on water filtration units.
4. Get an air purification unit for the home. If anyone in your family suffers from allergies, asthma or other respiratory difficulties, consider getting an air purification unit for your home. Look for a dual-patented unit covering an amazing 3000 sq feet, with no filters to clean and no loud noises as it purifies the air in your home. It’s a technological marvel that looks like a piece of art and has been clinically proven to reduce all form of indoor contaminants including chemicals and gases, mold, odors, smoke, particles, pollen and bacteria. There is a mobile unit that is a handy air purifier for travelers, commuters, offices or small spaces up to 300 square feet. Click here for more information on air purification units.
