Sneaky Habits That Could Be Harming Your Health

We all have little habits we barely notice, but some of them might be doing more harm than we think.  They can be like a sneaky saboteur in our daily routine. Take something as simple as holding off on a bathroom break.  It may feel harmless, but over time it can put you at risk for kidney infections that are no joke. Or how about the way we breathe? If you’re taking shallow breaths all day you’re not getting enough oxygen which can leave you unfocused and foggy.  These small choices add up, and they’re worth a second look before they turn into bigger problems.  

Then there’s the stuff we do without thinking, like sitting for hours on end or constantly crack our fingers. Prolonged sitting increases the risk of blood clots, especially if you’re glued to your desk or couch for too long. Even the way we sleep matters because lying on your stomach might feel cozy, but it can strain your spine and lead to chronic pain down the road.

So let’s take a minute to look at our own habits. Think about what you do that may be working against you, and make some effort to tweak it. Your body deserves the win, even if it means skipping the hot sauce every now and then.

Much Love,

Lynn

Is Your Sweet Tooth Sabotaging Your Health? Sugar Poisoning

In the simplest form, let's break down sugar’s impact on the body.  Sugar in a baby’s brain? ADHD. In an adult’s brain? Dementia. From glaucoma in your eyes to cavities in your teeth, and even cancer in your body, sugar is the sweet villain.  The favorite indulgence of many folks might be stirring up more than just a quick energy boost.

Too much sugar fuels inflammation, spikes blood sugar (hello, diabetes), and keeps you tossing and turning with insomnia. Don't even get me going about how it impacts all the autoimmune issues people are facing. Sugar’s on a mission to turn your body into a medical drama, one candy bar or jug of soda at a time.

Consider saying no to that extra cookie. Moderation [or ideally elimination] might just keep your sweet tooth from biting you back!

Much Love,

Water Doesn't Always Hydrate - What?

Let’s get real about hydration.  Chugging plain water all day sounds noble, but here’s the kicker, it can actually flush out your electrolytes.  Sodium, potassium, and magnesium aren’t just fancy words, they’re the VIPs of cellular hydration. Without them, you’re basically a walking, talking dehydrated raisin, no matter how much water you drink.  

Good hydration isn’t just about avoiding a dry mouth. It’s about keeping your body in balance. Electrolytes help regulate glucose, boost energy, and keep your kidneys from throwing a tantrum.

So, next time you reach for that water bottle, maybe toss in a pinch of salt or a touch of No Salt [found in the spice isle and contains TONS of potassium]. Your body will thank you with fewer headaches, better energy, and a happier vibe overall.

Much Love,

Lynn

Dirty Secrets in Your Detergent

Let’s talk dirty, about laundry that is. Those colorful jugs of Tide, Arm & Hammer, and Gain stare at you like they’re innocent, but they're not. These “cleaning heroes” are secretly packed with toxic chemicals called Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylate (NPE). Not only does this ingredient stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells (yes, you read that right), but it’s also a known endocrine and growth hormone disruptor. It’s so toxic that other countries have banned it, yet here in the U.S. we think nothing of it. Are we REALLY cleaning our clothes or just marinating them in a chemical stew?

NPE messes with your hormones, and studies have linked it to serious health issues, including cancer cell growth. These chemicals don’t just rinse away. They linger on your clothes, seep into your skin, and pollute waterways. We slather ourselves in “clean” clothes, thinking we’re fresh, but we might as well be wearing a toxic hug all day. We need to rethink what “clean” really means.

Consider going natural: Ditch the chemical jugs and try a safer, DIY laundry soap. Mix 1 cup of washing soda, 1 cup of borax, and 1 bar of grated castile soap (like Dr. Bronner’s) in a large bowl. You can even add a few drops of essential oil like lavender or tea tree for a natural scent. Use 1-2 tablespoons per load, and voilà TRULY clean clothes without the toxins.

If DIY isn’t your vibe, look for eco-friendly brands like Seventh Generation or ECOS, which avoid NPE and other harmful additives. Your body will thank you!

Much Love,
