Wellness Habits That Are Good for You & Good for The Earth
- Adopting an eco-friendly lifestyle is like hitting the jackpot of wellness — for both the planet
- and for you! When you reduce your carbon footprint by walking or biking instead of driving, not
- only you are reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but you’re also reducing your exposure to
- harmful toxins and improving your physical health. The benefits of going green include reduced
- stress levels, lower risk of illness, and increased energy and concentration. All from simple habits,
- like gardening! Gardening protects wildlife and improves the air and soil quality. It is also a great
- way to burn some extra calories, it lowers blood pressure, busts stress, boosts your mood, and
- improves sleep. Not to mention you can avoid harmful chemicals.
- An alternative to gardening is hitting the farmers market or loading up on local food from
- your favorite grocery store. In addition to supporting your local farmers, shopping locally will
- reduce your carbon footprint. And while on the topic of food, it’s good to reduce your intake of
- animal foods and incorporate more plant-based meals. Red meat requires lots of resources (such
- as water, fertilizer, and cropland) and produces lots of greenhouse gas emissions. One liter of
- dairy milk requires 1,050 liters of water, whereas 1 liter of oat milk requires about 48 liters to
- produce. Beauty and personal care products also need attention. Aside from degrading the
- environment and polluting, they may contain toxic chemicals such as carcinogens, formaldehyde,
- fragrances, and parabens. Your skin is your largest organ — it easily absorbs anything you’re
- using on your skin, hair, face, or body. Look for green and sustainable options.
- If you haven’t felt inspired to get started with spring cleaning yet, know that besides having
- a clean, organized space, you’re doing good for mother nature. Donating clothes reduces landfills,
- saves water, reduces your carbon footprint, and of course, helps those in need. It also makes
- room for bringing plants into your home, which can help oxygenate your space and remove
- harmful indoor air pollutants. Boston Ferns and Spider plants can help you breathe easier while
- reducing the number of airborne toxins circulating in the environment. And in addition to being
- chic and sustainable decor, indoor plants may help reduce stress, boost productivity, and benefit
- your mental health.
- Going Green is a win for all involved — especially when it comes to the environment and
- your health! The best part? These healthy habits can be seamlessly incorporated into your
- lifestyle. From gardening and sustainable grocery shopping to making simple eco-friendly swaps,
- there are endless ways to protect the environment and your health. And if these sustainable tips
- seem small, don’t underestimate their large impact! Every time you bike to work, shop local, and
- swap out toxic products, you’re reducing air pollutants, water use, and plastic, while also limiting
- your exposure to toxins and bettering your health.
