Have you ever taken the time to look at the products in your home and the ingredients they contain? Let’s talk about the chemicals found in most hair care products.
Here are a list of the 15 most dangerous chemicals commonly found, and what they do to your body.
You are the gatekeeper of your home. It is up to you to decide what you will allow to come into it.
What are enzymes? They are a type of protein found within a cell. They create chemical reactions in the body to help support life. They perform very important tasks which include building muscle, destroying toxins and breaking down food particles during digestion.
An enzyme’s shape is tied to its function. Heat, disease, or harsh chemical conditions can damage enzymes and change their shape. When this happens, an enzyme doesn’t work anymore. This affects the body processes the enzyme helped support.
I try to do this twice a day because I think it has great benefits for oral health.
What is oil pulling?
Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic dental treatment that apparently dates back about 3,000 years. It basically involves swishing a small amount of oil in your mouth for a short time, then spitting it out. The idea is that the oil pulls out bacteria and other toxins that hide within your mouth.
Did you know that your health begins in your gut? If your gut isn’t healthy you are not healthy. Poor gut health can cause so many health issues. Numerous studies in the past few decades have shown that there is a link between gut health and the immune system, mood, mental health, autoimmune diseases, endocrine disorders, skin conditions, and cancer.
We have good bacteria in our gut, what exactly are gut bacteria and what do they do? Gut bacteria are types of microorganisms that live within the human digestive system alongside other tiny organisms like fungi and viruses. Together, they form the "microbiome".
Do you take supplements?
Finding good quality supplements can be such a challenge. If you are buying supplements and they are not being used by your body you are just throwing your money away, or worse yet they contain things that are not good for us. That is why it is important to find supplements that are not only bioavailable for the body but not full of harmful ingredients that we don’t need.
I have done some research on why Young Livings are the ones I want for myself and my family.
First and foremost, Young Living has it’s Seed to Seal and I love the way they produce their product with so much integrity. Seed to Seal basically means “Young Living embraces a rigorous quality control standard to help ensure our products meet strict specifications. Seed to Seal is our set of standards that helps ensure that with every pure essential oil and Young Living product your family uses, you’re enjoying the benefits of our global resources, industry leadership, and over two decades of innovation. The result? A pristine final product that you know has been created with conscientious Sourcing, Science, and Standards—the three pillars of Seed to Seal.”
They also have a scientific advisory council. The Young Living Essential Oils Scientific Advisory Council provides valuable insight into the development of our pioneering essential oils and oil-infused products. This professional organization comprises prominent scientific professionals from around the globe, uniting years of experience in natural products. The council’s unmatched leadership, expertise, and passion for essential oil innovation is redefining the way the world thinks about wellness. You can read more about it here.
I also love these supplements because they are more bioavailable for your body and are absorbed better. Did you know that most supplements have only a 30% absorption rate? Most of Young Livings supplements are infused with Essential Oils, which studies have shown increases their absorption rate to 80%. That is a whopping 50% increase! This tells me you get way more bang for your buck and the supplements will be that much more effective!
Whatever choice your family makes it is important to do your research and find the best for you! And of course eating a healthy diet is always the best way to get amazing vitamins and minerals that your body needs. We choose to supplement because it is hard to get everything we need from the food we eat.
