DID YOU KNOW?
Your cleaning products could be making you sick and you may not even know it

Household Dangers

Of chemicals commonly found in homes, 150 have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological abnormalities.
-Consumer Product Safety Commission
Hazardous chemical concentrations are 2 to 5 times higher inside our homes than outdoors.
-Environmental Protection Agency

The household cleaning agents, personal care products, and solvents that make our lives so easy are also sources of hundreds of potentially harmful chemicals.

You can purchase safer, higher-quality products directly from the manufacturer and show other people the benefits of doing the same.

One person really can make a difference in the lives of many.

Are you ready to make the switch?



Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Cancer is the second leading cause of death and accounts for one in five deaths in the United States.

Vitamins and minerals are like spark plugs that help keep your body running smooth and strong. Today's typical American diet is pre-cooked, processed, packaged and preserved.

The new U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Guide Pyramid suggests:
use fats, oils and sweets sparingly
2-3 servings of the Milk, Yogurt and Cheese group daily
2-3 servings of the Meat, Poultry, Fish, Dry Beans, Eggs and Nuts group daily
2-4 servings of the Fruit Group daily
3-5 servings of the Vegetable Group daily
6-11 servings of the Bread, Cereal, Rice and Pasta Group daily

Only a third of Americans are getting 100% of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin E, less than half are getting enough vitamin B6, more than 37% of men and 43% of women aren't getting enough vitamin C and on any given day, 46% of Americans don't consume even one fruit.

Fortunately, you can compensate for coming up short in essential vitamins and minerals with high-quality nutritional supplements.

What are free radicals?

Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules that can harm the cells in your body and eventually damage the very DNA that helps each cell accurately reproduce itself. These toxic molecules are constantly attacking your heart, lungs, blood vessels, organs and tissues.



Where do free radicals come from?

The very elements needed to sustain life-the air we breathe, the water we drink and bathe in, even the sun. Modern technology with its computers, cellular phones and microwave ovens exposes us to free radical damage through radiation. Also, smoking, synthetic chemicals and smog.

Beneficial compounds called antioxidants - which are made in the body itself and also come from food sources like fruits and vegetables - can help neutralize free radicals before they cause damage.
