Control Your Environment.

One of the principles of holistic health is living in harmony with nature.


Just as the physical, mental and emotional elements of total wellness are connected, we are also intricately linked with the natural world in which we live.

When we poison the environment, we poison ourselves.

When we alter the climate through our activities and behaviour, we alter the climate all species on earth evolved to live in - including humans.

Although we might sometimes feel that we have very little control over our environment, in reality we do.We can choose to buy chemical home cleaners or natural home cleaners. We can choose to buy organic foods or food sprayed with pesticides. We can choose whether or not to spray ourlawns with chemicals.

In fact, there are many ways that we can lighten the body pollution burden we bear.


TIPS For Reducing Your Exposure to Pollution.

> Whenever possible, buy only organically produced foods of all types. Look for organic meat, poultry, daily products and eggs.

> If you cannot buy organic fruits and vegetables, thoroughly wash all produce before eating.

> Avoid processed foods as much as possible. The more natural your diet, the fewer food additives you will consume.

> Choose only wild-caught fish, rather than farmed. This is especially important for salmon, which can have very high PCB and mercury contents when farm-raised.

> Drink pure clean water. Filtered or top-quality spring water is the best choice.

> Limit your use of prescription medications, alcohol and tobacco - these all leave residues in the body.

> Use only natural cleaners for your home and body. This includes detergents and other laundry products, air fresheners, soaps, shampoos and toothpaste.

> Open the windows in your home often to improve air circulation. The air inside the average home is often more polluted than the air outside.

Creating a healthy living environment for you and your family is a priority.
