Tomorrow is Earth Day and as we celebrate our planet, why not take some time to think about how much your health impacts the health of the earth? Here are our tips to help better your health and the planet’s.
THINK GREEN WHEN YOU CLEAN
Many traditional cleaning products for the home contain chemicals that can harm your health and the environment. Chlorine-based cleaners and anti-bacterial soap are great for disinfecting your house, but not so great for your health or the planet.
Try using products that are bleach-free and non-toxic instead or make your own with white vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils. With natural cleaning products, you can maintain a clean home and body while also helping the planet.
BIKE FOR BETTER HEALTH
If you live near your workplace, favorite restaurant, or shop, start walking or biking instead of driving. Biking builds muscle, burns calories, is low-impact and easy on the joints, and is a great cardiovascular workout. Plus, it helps reduce your carbon footprint!
TAKE YOUR ACTIVITIES OUTDOORS
Did you know spending time doing outside can improve both your physical and mental health? Exercise is great for your physical and mental health and wellness, but even more so when you step outside. Spending time in nature can reduce stress and anxiety and boost your mood.
Plus, spending time outside of your home saves energy to help the health of the planet.
