Even when the scent fades, residue lingers. Choosing a simple, plant-based cleaner for your counters, or switching to a DIY mix with vinegar and essential oils (check out my favorite brand of essential oils <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://track.pstmrk.it/3s/referral.doterra.me%2F132964/KRLR/rynBAQ/AQ/42cc8b95-0e21-446a-9bcc-9afd5344d7b2/2/MDrgBJ4fbP"><u>HERE!</u></a>), can lower exposure without adding more to your to-do list.<br></p><p>Freshen the Air You Live In</p><p>Indoor air quality is one of the most overlooked factors in toxin exposure. Opening windows, using a HEPA filter, using essential oils in a diffuser (check out my favs <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://track.pstmrk.it/3s/referral.doterra.me%2F132964/KRLR/rynBAQ/AQ/42cc8b95-0e21-446a-9bcc-9afd5344d7b2/2/MDrgBJ4fbP"><u>HERE!</u></a>) and incorporating a few low-maintenance houseplants can help reduce indoor pollution from cleaning products, furniture, and daily life.<br></p><h4 id="a580c5d9-521c-410b-bda1-3f58e5720f75" data-toc-id="a580c5d9-521c-410b-bda1-3f58e5720f75" style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">2) Clean Water, Cleaner Input<br></h4><p>Filter Your Tap Water</p><p>Municipal water often contains chlorine, trace metals, pesticides, and microplastics. A good water filter removes many of the substances that would otherwise move through your liver or accumulate slowly over time. It’s a quiet upgrade that has a real effect over weeks and months.<br></p><p>Drink More, and More Often</p><p>Water supports every detox pathway. It helps your kidneys flush waste, your colon move things along, and your skin release heat. Herbal teas and mineral broths count too, but start with a simple habit: drink a glass of filtered water at least 30 mins before your coffee or meals, and notice how it shifts your energy and digestion.<br></p><h4 id="3824d12c-3a58-46ea-9421-f6bd00a5e406" data-toc-id="3824d12c-3a58-46ea-9421-f6bd00a5e406" style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">3) Support Through Food and Cooking<br></h4><p>Update Your Cookware</p><p>Non-stick pans, especially older ones, can contain chemicals like PFOAs that may leach into food at high heat. Stainless steel, cast iron, and ceramic are more durable and less likely to leave behind anything your body has to process later.<br></p><p>Choose Fewer Packaged Foods</p><p>You don’t have to eat perfectly to eat supportively. But reaching for more whole foods, like vegetables, legumes, clean proteins, and fats, means fewer preservatives, additives, and artificial dyes. When meals are simple and real, your digestive system works more efficiently, and your liver isn’t bogged down by unnecessary extras.<br></p><p>Go Easy on Plastic</p><p>Plastics, especially when heated, can leach chemicals like BPA or phthalates into food and drinks. Using glass or stainless-steel containers, especially for storage and reheating, helps lower your daily exposure in a quiet, sustainable way.<br></p><h4 id="fa5c6173-1792-4a39-bea7-d66469c4f95c" data-toc-id="fa5c6173-1792-4a39-bea7-d66469c4f95c" style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">4) Let Your Body Do What It’s Designed to Do<br></h4><p>Sleep Is One of Your Best Detox Tools!</p><p>During deep sleep, your brain clears waste through a process called glymphatic drainage. It’s part of why even one night of poor rest can leave you feeling foggy and slow. Making space for quality sleep by dimming lights at night, limiting screen time, and allowing for a consistent bedtime directly supports your body’s natural repair processes.&nbsp; If you aren't sleeping - Watch this workshop on Sleep<a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://track.pstmrk.it/3s/youtu.be%2FE0MJ4h-N97w%3Fsi%3DhPVDcmLlcf6lOIp2/KRLR/rynBAQ/AQ/42cc8b95-0e21-446a-9bcc-9afd5344d7b2/3/KqiCMiM-kN"><u> HERE!</u></a><br></p><p>Movement Matters, Even When It’s Light</p><p>You don’t need to sweat buckets or do high-intensity workouts to help your body detox. A walk after meals, gentle stretching, or even five minutes of movement first thing in the morning can boost lymph flow and circulation. These systems move waste along, but they rely on physical activity to function effectively.<br></p><p>Update Your Personal Care Shelf</p><p>Many products contain parabens, synthetic fragrances, and other endocrine-disrupting compounds. Choosing a few cleaner replacements can lower your chemical exposure without overhauling everything at once.&nbsp; Check out my favorite brand for clean skin care and makeup <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://track.pstmrk.it/3s/crunchi.com%2F%3Fals%3DAprilRanard/KRLR/rynBAQ/AQ/42cc8b95-0e21-446a-9bcc-9afd5344d7b2/4/ZO-59wHRuU"><u>HERE!</u></a><br></p><p>These gentle shifts help create that space.<br><br>They remove some of the background noise so your organs can focus on what they were made to do, without distraction or extra load.<br><br>Over time, the benefits build: better energy, clearer skin, smoother digestion, deeper sleep, and a more regulated nervous system.<br></p><p>Pick one thing this week.<br><br>Maybe that’s replacing a cleaning spray, adding a glass of filtered water in the morning, or going to bed 30 minutes earlier.<br><br>Let it be small.<br><br>Let it be doable.<br><br>These quiet habits are what real detox support looks like.<br><br>Need more help or have questions?&nbsp; Send an email:  info@dropsofhealthwellnesscenter.com</p></td></tr></tbody></table><table style="width: 75px;"><colgroup><col style="width: 75px;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" colwidth="75" style="width: 75px;"><h5 id="9c6426a8-b5d2-4779-a2cb-1ba8924da4ce" data-toc-id="9c6426a8-b5d2-4779-a2cb-1ba8924da4ce" style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;"><span>Cheering you on!</span></h5></td></tr></tbody></table><table style="width: 275px;"><colgroup><col style="width: 275px;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" colwidth="275" style="width: 275px;"><table style="width: 25px;"><colgroup><col style="width: 25px;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" colwidth="25" style="width: 25px;"><img src="https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/meips/ADKq_NZlpvqrLCISUbEuB8dsd12WxnJb6WGTupRx-YaV5zs75lhWREJirfFf8lZqNexoxrG_NbU7UGLXhQcVbRL9pbxbhe0wrlzoCVkVi_MWSOfR=s0-d-e1-ft#https://f.ezycourse.net/3236/cm9jfc7gv04twnt9n8lai95xa.png" alt="" title="" style="outline: none; text-decoration: none; clear: both; border: none; height: auto; float: none; width: 243.6px; max-width: 243.6px; line-height: inherit; display: inline-block !important;"></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>
