Beware of Dangerous Invisible Health Intruders At Home
3 Unsuspected Ones to Look Out for….
.
.
And most of us are aware of the potential for damage to our health by aspects of our lifestyle. We take efforts to eat more sensibly, drink less alcohol and generally be healthier.
What is important is that we see results from our healthier behavior. We may lose weight, sleep better or have more energy. And as long as we can see a link between our behavior and our health improving, we know to continue it.
.
The issue is when we have aspects of our health being damaged by something we can’t see. When this happens, we can struggle to make the changes we need to make.
.
.
The following are 3 issues that arise with our health from unseen factors, and how to deal with them promptly.

Sometimes The Food Container, Not The Food, Is The Issue!
.
.
The irony for many of us is that we will prepare a meal that is low-fat, gluten-free and generally healthy.
.
Then we put it into a container that contains one of the most unhealthy ingredients around.
.
Many plastics contain phthalates, which are carcinogenic. And even the plastics sold as being “safe” aren’t always safe.
.
It is better to instead use glass jars and silicon containers. These do not contain the same ingredients, nor transfer any contaminant to food.

Lead ~ You may be surrounded by it you and “You Can’t See The Wood For The Trees”!
.
Or, to put it another way, you can’t see the contaminant because it is all around you.
.
Was your home was built before 1978? If so, there is a chance that there may be lead paint somewhere on the property.
.
This is an issue, because lead deposits can transfer to your hands, clothes or anything that comes into contact with the paint.
.
If the lead is then ingested orally, it can cause severe health problems. Up to and including death. It’s a particular problem if you have kids.

Talk to your local health department for more information.

Water, Water Everywhere
.
.
Hard water is a real and present danger in many homes in America.
.
There is speculation – unconfirmed but very real – about the internal health problems it may cause.
.
.
If you find that you never feel quite “clean” after a shower, or that shampoo takes a long time to lather, then you have a hard water problem.
.
Seek out some information on the best water softener systems to see what you can do.
.
Of course, we can never be aware of all the contaminants there are in the world around us. The fact that they are unseen is the problem.
.
However, if you take some efforts to ensure that you are not helping these contaminants to do their damage, it makes a difference.
.
Above all, it just makes sense to think about what you buy, eat, drink and use before you use it. Most of what you eat and drink is fine. Most ill effects are minor.
.
However, effects can accumulate and it makes sense to be cautious with anything you use regularly.
