WELLNESS HACK

🔥GREAT TIP for using plastic containers! 🔥

It has to do with knowing which plastics are better for you than others.

But first: more and more studies are finding that whenever possible, it’s best to completely avoid using plastic and vinyl products!

🚫That’s because the phthalates and bisphenols they contain can affect your health (and your family’s, too). They are linked with reproductive and fertility issues, behavior problems, thyroid issues, asthma, and obesity (among other things).

♻️But if you MUST use plastic, flip the container over and look at its recycling symbol. What number do you see?

Here’s a rhyme to help you remember which numbers to choose:
“5, 4, 1, and 2, these are the ones that are better for you.”

✅Even so … never put plastic containers in the microwave or dishwasher (especially if they are scratched or showing signs of wear). If at all possible, use glass or metal containers for all your food storage/reheating needs.

🚿BONUS TIP: Ditch your vinyl shower curtain because it probably contains chemicals you don’t want around you – as does the clear cling wrap in your kitchen!

FIRE CIDER RECIPE

👩‍🍳If you like to experiment with old-school natural remedies and tonics … I’ve got a really fun recipe for you today!

🍸It’s called Fire Cider and it’s loaded with good-for-you spices and ingredients!

You can use it as a spicy “mocktail” mixed with seltzer or tomato juice, in a tea, or as a salad dressing … or even drizzled over veggies, rice, and stir-fries.

It also can give a kick to soups and chilis … and some people drink a shot (1-2 Tbsp) once a day because they believe it can boost their immune system.

💡Note: this takes very little time to actually put together but still requires some time because …

It’s supposed to sit for a month before you use it!!! 🤩It’ll be worth the wait!

🔥FIRE CIDER 🔥
(makes about 3½ cups/825 ml)

● ¼ cup (100 grams) peeled & grated horseradish
● ½ cup (85 grams) of peeled & chopped ginger
● 1 small onion, chopped
● 6 garlic cloves, smashed
● 1 Tbsp turmeric
● 6 sprigs of rosemary
● ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
● 2 organic jalapeno peppers, washed and chopped
● 1 lemon, washed, and cut into quarters
● 3 cups (710 ml) unfiltered apple cider vinegar
● 3 Tbsp honey

Combine all of the ingredients up to the lemons in a glass container (a quart-sized mason jar is perfect). Squeeze the lemons in, and then drop the rinds inside.

Pour the vinegar in over the other ingredients until they are submerged. (Do NOT add the honey yet! That comes later.)

Cover and shake the jar gently to make sure everything is combined, and then move the jar to a dark spot to sit for a month.

When it’s time to finish the preparation, line a colander with cheesecloth and place it over a large bowl. Pour the mixture through the colander to strain, catching the liquid in the bowl. Squeeze the cheesecloth to get as much liquid out as possible!

Clean the mason jar and rinse well, and then pour the liquid back in. Add the honey, seal the jar tightly, and shake it well to combine. Taste and add more honey if necessary.

🍏Keep this stored in the refrigerator and experiment with how you use it!

🤔🤷‍♀️Q: What is the deal with “detox-ing”?

✅A: When it comes to your wellness, the word “detox” gets tossed around a lot.

This might sound like semantics - but the best approach isn’t about “detoxing” your body because you already have an amazing built-in system for doing that.

💡Instead: it’s about REDUCING the toxic load your body has to deal with in the first place.

This matters because every day you come into contact with thousands of chemicals – a lot more than your ancestors ever had to deal with!

Whether it’s the “toxins” in the food you eat – like unhealthy fats and added sugars – to the phthalates in plastics and the parabens in your shampoo to the harsh cleansers that scour your kitchen counter, it all adds up!

👉That’s the REAL deal with detoxing, it gives your body’s self-cleaning system a break!
