Healthier Living with Non-toxic Cleaners

Did you know that when you have conventional cleaners in the house, you also have a Toxic Brew in the house? We know a lot of people who are having many health issues that are directly linked to the cleaners that are in their home. We started using all natural Shaklee Cleaners 15 years ago and our children are healthy and our one daughter doesn’t break out in a rash anymore.

One of our favorite cleaners is the Scour Off paste. It is great for cleaning ovens, stove tops, sinks, tubs, cookware, and it did wonders on this tea pot.

Spring Cleaning Safely with Little Helpers

It’s that time of the year again when I get in the mood to thoroughly go through and clean out every section of the

house.I have a garage sale to help get rid of things we no longer need or want. I could just donate everything, but why not make some money and then donate what is left over. It is usually easier to get rid of something if you know you are going to get some money for it.

I like to have a CLEAN house. The family has their daily and weekly…

Tips to Healthier Living Series: Part Four, Nutritional Supplements

Why We Don’t Use a Microwave; Tips to Healthier Living: Part 3

We have not been using a microwave for the past 13 years now. When we started learning about health and nutrition, I learned how the microwave decays and changes the molecular structure of the food by the process of radiation, so we chose to not use it anymore and got rid of our microwave.

Tips to Healthier Living Series: Part Two, Reading Labels

Today in Part two of my tips to Healthier Living Series, I am going to explain what I look for on a label and what ingredients I stay away from. You could read Part One here, if you missed it. It explains how I shop and start with the square.

When shopping the isles, the less healthy food choices, I usually read the label and check the ingredient list. You would think I would check the nutritional value of the item, but to tell you the truth, I don’t look at that at all. I look at the ingredients and the type of fat and sugar that is in the item.

Tips to Healthier Living Series: Part one

This being National Health Month I thought I would tell our story on how we are now living healthier. Around 13 years ago I started on a health kick. My family was having some health issues and I felt we were always at the doctor for some reason. I started researching and studying about health and nutrition and realized how the two were related and very important. You would think it would be obvious, but with everything that is advertised out there it is very difficult to know what is actually healthy and good for you, or what is not. Since then I have changed my shopping and cooking habits. I try and stay away from a lot of processed foods. (There are times I am better at this than others.) I also use purified water, and have changed all my cleaning products to safe, non-toxic cleaners. I didn’t do it all at once, I changed a little at a time over a couple of years. We also started taking high-quality nutritional supplements that are all natural, back with clinical proof. Since then I have not had to take the children to the doctor for any sick visits. We have been to the emergency room several times for injuries, but with 12 children and 7 of them boys things are bound to happen. I am not saying my children never get sick, we just get sick a lot less often and I am able to help them get better through nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.

During this series I am going to be sharing my tips on how we stay healthy.

Today I am going to give you my some of my shopping tips.
