Are your cleaning products making you sick and fat?
Are your cleaning
products making you sick and fat?
Obesogens are chemicals that can disrupt hormones, increase one’s risk for
cancer, allergies, headaches, and fatigue, and of course lead to obesity. These
chemicals get stored in the fat, and the body holds onto the fat so the
chemicals don’t leach out.
Detoxifying your body, along with reducing your chemical exposure, can help one
lose weight.
Obesogens are found in common everyday products, like Lysol, Clorox bleach, and
Febreze.
We may not think that what we breathe in matters, but it does! I’ve had
patients tell me Clorox bleach and Lysol “smell clean״. I hear you! I used to
think the same thing.
Then I became highly allergic to these harsh chemicals, to the point it
affected my breathing.
What is your largest organ? Correct your skin. These harsh chemicals can
penetrate the skin and become toxic (especially to children and animals). If
ingestion occurs Poison control should be called immediately.
Did you know the Poison control center received numerous calls during the
pandemic for inhalation injuries due to excessive use of Clorox bleach and
Lysol.
What to do
I know it’s hard to change (especially when you were raised with this stuff).
But think of it this way, if it makes you and your family healthier, isn’t it
worth it!
At Krav Maga Martial Arts (in Land O’ Lakes), they are using healthier
cleaning products (thank you Barbara) that are just as effective, without the
harsh chemicals, because they CARE about their students and staff.
Natural cleaning solutions
I like Seventh generation Cleaning products because you can find them almost
anywhere including Target and Abby’s Health and Nutrition (and they have a
cleaner profile, and can still be effective against viruses). It may be a few
dollars more, but keeping your family safe and healthy, I think warrants the
extra cost.
Save $ with these low-cost cleaning solutions
I have used White Vinegar as a natural
disinfectant. Baking soda works to clean toilets and showers just sprinkle on
stains and squirt with vinegar to moisten and wipe after 30 minutes with a
scouring pad or brush. If you have other suggestions, please feel free to
share.
Now if you’re feeling like this is a lot, start with changing one product. You
may consider the one with the most chemicals that you use often like bleach or
Lysol.
I’m
available for consults and can help you with a Natural cleaning solution
makeover.
With
warmest wishes, Dr. Tanya Gold
