Earth Day is tomorrow and as we celebrate our planet, why not take the time to think about how much your health impacts the health of the earth? Here are our tips to help better your health...and the planet’s!
Go Green When You Clean
Some of the traditional cleaning products used in our homes contain chemicals that can harm your health and the earth. Chlorine-based cleaners and anti-bacterial soap are great for disinfecting the home but not so great for your health or the environment.
Instead, try using products that are bleach-free and non-toxic or make your own with white vinegar, essential oils, and baking soda. With natural cleaning products, you can keep a clean home and body while also helping the planet.
Bike to Better Health
If you live near your place of work, start walking or biking to work a few days each week. Biking burns calories, builds muscle, is easy on the joints, and is a great cardiovascular workout. Plus, it helps reduce your carbon footprint!
Get Outdoors
Did you know spending time doing outdoor activities can improve both your physical and mental health? Exercise and physical activity are great for overall health and wellness, but even more so when you step into the great outdoors. Spending time in nature can reduce stress and anxiety and improve your mood as a whole.
Plus, spending time outside of your home can help conserve energy and help the health of the planet.
