Here are a few tips we thought were interesting:
Eat Your Veggies
We all know vegetables are great for us, but the lining in canned food can leach chemicals like BPA. Farmers' market-fresh vegetables are a better choice, but if you can't make it to the market or want something out of season, choose frozen over canned or look for brands that make BPA-free cans.
Grill with Care
Found in cigarette smoke and car exhaust, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are also found in the char of heavily grilled foods. So when grilling, use a slower roast method, go for medium instead of well-done, and scrape off any of the black stuff that results from overcooking.
Get the Info to Choose Wisely
We all have our favorite makeup and toiletries. To find out whether your go-to products are safe or not, try Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep cosmetics safety database. This easy-to-use resource ranks the safety of specific brand names on a scale from one to ten. This is an easy way to find out which products you can use guilt-free and which ones may need replacing.
