There is so much more to bringing health into your life than the food you eat.  Sadly, toxins are  lurking all around us.  Environmentally, we are limited to what we can change.  But when it comes to your home, you are in control, and you can de-clutter those toxins out.  Today I want to focus on making some changes in your kitchen.  Take a listen.

“I’d Prefer to Read Your Message”

As I mentioned in my Podcasts and prior emails, I am putting together a Study Guide called Your Journey to Wholeness! The Lord Wants You Well.  I have spent the past 45 plus years educating myself and making lifestyle changes to bring health and well-being to my life.  In this Study Guide, I will impart what these lifestyle changes were and give recommendations and steps to help you clear out the toxins in your kitchen, bathroom and entire home.

If you follow me, you know I try my best to eat organically.  I know it’s hard sometimes because organic food seems so much more expensive.  But I justified this added expense as either paying on this side of health or I pay on the dis-ease side of health.  Either way there is a cost.

No matter what hard times I’ve gone through, I was always able to maintain my organic eating.  When I have a greater budget, then I may spend more for certain meats.  But when my budget is a little tight, I stay with the basics.

Let’s Look at Issues Other Than Food

Today, let’s put food aside, as I want to give you some recommendations you can implement in your kitchen that is healthy.

1. Do not use aluminum foil on your food in the oven as much as possible.I know sometimes it’s hard to have a replacement, but the aluminum can leach into your food. They are finding that individuals with Alzheimer’s have high aluminum levels.  Does aluminum cause Alzheimer’s?  I don’t think they know.  But it is a metal and toxic to your body.  So instead of using aluminum, use unbleached parchment paper for your baking needs.  Or put your food in glass containers with a lid.
2. Remove, throw away (don’t even donate) your Teflon coated pans. They are highly toxic with PFOAs and PTFEs. Not only could these chemicals end up in your food when you heat the pans, it is also released into the air, and you are breathing it in.  If you want to cook non-stick, use ceramic coated pans.  One option is a pan called Green Pan.  Also, cooking in cast iron is one of the best ways to cook.
3. Replace your “bleached” paper towels and napkins with either unbleached products or washable organic cotton napkins and towels.Most paper products are made from wood and then bleached.  It can form dioxins and get leached into the air and our water supply.

Let’s Look at 3 More Recommendations

1. Don’t use your microwave but if you do, then be sure you do NOT microwave your food in plastic … even if it says it’s microwave safe.These plastic chemicals could get leached into your food.  Use glass only.
2. Don’t store your food in plastic.Store it in glass.  Especially don’t put hot food in a plastic container to then put in your refrigerator.  I’ve removed all my Tupperware (I use it in my garage) and now use glass Pyrex dishes for my storage.  If your glass container has a plastic lid, then be sure you do not put the lid on until the food is cooled.
3. Try your best to not drink water from your faucet.It is more than likely filled with fluoride and chlorine.  Get a filter system for your sink or at least one for your countertop for drinking water.
