Health And Wellness Tips

A healthier environment is a healthier you!

Healthy body, healthy mind, and hopefully with some effort healthy environment. Health and Wellness are essential to living a fulfilling life, however, to practice this balance we don’t need the disposable facemasks, tons of packaging that comes with the latest bath fad, or the next best plastic exercise equipment that promises fast results with little to no effort.

If you’re looking to ensure your health and wellness routine is just as good for you as the planet, then try these tips.

1. Stick to whole foods

Processed foods contain a multitude of chemicals that in many cases involve energy-intensive processes that leave plastic poisons in the environment.

2. Rethink your PPE

While PPE is essential during health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, a single disposable facemask can release up to 173,000 microfibers per day into our oceans, instead, opt for reusable organic cotton facemasks.

3. Choose the right facemask

Many facemasks contain plastic polymers, which break down into microplastics and can cause devastating effects on the natural world.

4. Skip the essential oils

It takes 10,000 pounds of rose petals to get just one pound of rose essential oil, instead, bring nature indoors to achieve the floral scent in your home.

5. Advocate against pollution

Pollution, toxic chemicals, and food contaminants among other environmental challenges contribute to the risk of cancer, heart disease, asthma, and many other illnesses killing approximately 12 million people annually.

6. Eco water on the go

Water is vital to feel better and be healthier, however, with 8 million pieces of plastic entering the ocean every single day, skip the convenient single use plastic and get a reusable bottle instead.
