Detoxify Your Home: Simple Steps for Safe Environment

In today’s world, we are increasingly exposed to various toxins that can affect our health and well-being. From electromagnetic fields (EMFs) or the household supplies we use to the food and the water we consume, it’s essential to understand these sources of toxins and how we can mitigate their effects. This guide is meant to help you detoxify your home following these simple steps for safe environment.

EMF and its Effects on Us

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are emitted by a variety of devices, including cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, and microwaves. Recent research published in the Journal of Bionic Engineering (2023) has highlighted a growing body of evidence linking EMF exposure to several health issues. Key health hazards include:

  • Neurological Effects: Prolonged exposure to EMFs may contribute to cognitive impairments, memory issues, and other neurological concerns
  • Reproductive Effects: Some studies suggest that EMFs could negatively affect reproductive health, leading to fertility issues and complications during pregnancy
  • Developmental Effects: Emerging research indicates that exposure to EMFs during critical developmental periods may have lasting impacts on children
  • Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity: Individuals with electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) report various non-specific symptoms when exposed to EMFs, including headaches, fatigue, and sleep disturbances
  • Cardiovascular Effects: There is evidence to suggest that EMF exposure may also influence cardiovascular health, potentially leading to increased heart rate and blood pressure

Mitigating EMF Exposure

To minimize EMF exposure in your home, consider implementing the following strategies:

  • Limit screen time and reduce the use of wireless devices
  • Avoid placing devices like laptops and tablets directly on your lap or close to your body
  • Unplug the devices that you don’t use often
  • Use wired connections when possible, such as Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi
  • Create EMF-free zones in your home, especially in sleeping areas
  • Use the the Light-Life Tensor Rings around the electronics and appliances to neutralize the EMF

Having Quality Water

Use filtered water

Using filtered water t is essential for ensuring that you consume clean and safe drinking water free from contaminants and impurities. Filtered water not only improves the taste but also reduces the presence of harmful substances, such as chlorine, heavy metals, and bacteria, promoting better hydration and overall health.

Structure Your Water with the Light-Life Tensor Rings

One solution is the use of Light-Life Tensor Rings, which structure water by aligning the water molecules in a more orderly pattern. This process creates structured or hexagonal water (see the pictures above), believed to:

  • Improve Hydration: Structured water is more easily absorbed by the body, enhancing overall hydration.
  • Increase Bioavailability of Nutrients: When water is structured, it can better facilitate nutrient absorption, leading to improved health.

Using Light-Life Tensor Rings is a simple and effective way to enhance your water. By placing the rings around your water container, you can create a more beneficial water structure that supports your health.

Ensuring Clean and Healthy Food

The food we consume plays a significant role in our overall health. To reduce exposure to harmful chemicals and toxins, consider the following practices:

  • Choose Organic When Possible: Organic foods are less likely to contain harmful pesticides and chemicals. Opting for organic produce can significantly reduce your toxin exposure
  • Wash Fruits and Vegetables: Always wash your fruits and vegetables thoroughly to remove any pesticides or contaminants. Consider using a mixture of water and vinegar for effective cleaning
  • Read Labels: Be mindful of food labels and ingredients. Avoid foods with artificial additives, preservatives, and excessive levels of sugar or sodium
  • Buy Local: Support local farmers and markets to obtain fresher produce that is often grown without harmful preservatives. Local food is typically harvested at its peak, ensuring better flavor and nutrition.

Household Supplies

Here are some tips to help reduce exposure to toxic substances in your home:

  • Read labels: Avoid harmful chemicals such as phthalates, formaldehyde, parabens, and synthetic fragrances
  • Choose natural products: vinegar, baking soda, personal care items, and cosmetics that use safe, non-toxic ingredients
  • Avoid plastic: Use glass, stainless steel, or BPA-free alternatives
  • Limit pesticide use: Use natural pest control, use traps or natural repellents.

Detoxifying your home and life is essential for maintaining optimal health in today’s toxic environment. We hope these practices will help you foster a life of harmony, balance, and improved well-being.

Pumpkin Soup

This pumpkin soup was so delicious! An employee brought it in to share for lunch and it was the perfect recipe to make us all dream of autumn, which is soon to come! If you have the time, roast a fresh pumpkin to use in the recipe. However, canned pumpkin puree works just as well and taste just as delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp minced ginger
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1 ½ cup pumpkin puree (either fresh or a 15-ounce can)
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
  • Optional garnishes: extra coconut milk, pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 4 minutes until softened.
  2. Add garlic, ginger, and curry powder. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the pumpkin puree and broth. Then, increase heat to high and bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Simmer softly for 10 minutes or until heated through.
  5. Add coconut milk and bring to a soft boil. Simmer for another 10 minutes or until heated through.
  6. Remove from heat. Then, puree soup by using an immersion blender. Alternatively, transfer soup in small amounts to a blender and puree each batch until smooth. Hot soup splatters in a blender and can cause the lid to pop off mid-blend, so be careful and don’t overfill.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, serve hot garnished with a drizzle of coconut milk and pumpkin seeds.

NOTES

  • The soup is meant to a have a rich consistency. If it’s too thick for you, just add more broth or water to thin it out.
  • If you are not vegan or vegetarian, vegetable broth can be substituted with chicken broth.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to five days.

P.S. Tensor Rings can be used to give more “livingness” to your food and water. For this soup, we placed the bowl inside a Sacred 1 Cubit Heavy Tensor Ring before devouring it.

Healthy 3-Ingredient Brownies

These healthy 3-ingredient brownies were so easy to make! One of our employees baked them at home and brought them in as an afternoon treat. They turned out like a dense, fudgy, chocolate bite of deliciousness, we just had to share them with you. Dairy free, gluten free, no sugar added… Such an easy way to satisfy the sweet tooth.

Healthy 3-Ingredient Brownies

Ingredients

  • 6 large ripe bananas
  • 1 cup almond butter
