Wholesome Green Living: Optimizing Stress

 

Does the word “stress” make you cringe inside?  Stress is not portrayed as something we want to have.  Countless medical research shows how stress has a negative & harmful effect on our bodies. 

However…not ALL stress is bad!!  According to psychologist, Dr. Douglas Kleiber; “To be happy you need a little stress.”

Three Reasons to Pitch Your Anti-bacterial Soaps & Hand Saniziters!

First:  About anti-bacterial sanitizers:  They do not rid your hands of dirt.  Bacteria may be killed but the dirt doesn’t disappear.

Secondly:  Chemical particles that have flaked off of things you touch or have been floating in the air attach themselves to dirt, so chances are; you may still have chemicals on your hands

Thirdly:  Using anti-bacterial soaps may create a resistance in your body to antibiotics when you need them to fight off infections. The problem chemical is triclosan; found in most anti-bacterial soaps.  The American Medical Association recommends that soaps containing triclosan not be used in homes.

Hello, I am Brenda, a concerned mother of three and I don’t want to use soaps that pose potential risks to my children.  We have already made wonderful changes by switching to all natural, non-toxic cleaning products and are breathing the benefits of those changes!  Furthermore, we have made more efforts to eat all natural and organic foods where possible; again finding ourselves to be healthier individuals!  We are now making the conscious efforts to use all natural body care products—all natural hand soaps were our family’s first step in the all-natural body care direction.

We are VERY PLEASED to be using Baby Harmony All Natural Hand Soap!  In fact, our daughter, who gets seasonal eczema, had fewer problems last winter due to our switch to Baby Harmony All Natural Hand Soap!
