Have you heard of this: “I just met Mr. X; we had a good time together; he was OK; I can’t believe he’s passed away? Aren’t you joking?”
Yes, this is a common feature today. Many people suffer from health problems like high blood pressure, stress, cardiovascular disease and diabetes without knowing, until they find themselves in the doctor’s consultation room for an emergency.
Yet there are visible risk factors associated with these. Physical inactivity, bad eating, smoking and alcohol consumption habits, obesity, age, and family history are all factors that contribute to worsen your health, slowly but surely.

Lavender Farms presents A Better, Healthier Home posted at For the Love of Lavender, saying, “Take charge of the health of your home. Make it an environment that is healthy to live in.”

It gives some great tips on keeping a better, healthier house. Some of the things they suggest are super simple, and for me the simpler the better! I love the thought of having a toxic-free home, and there is no better way to start than with small, easy steps.
