• Invest in a good quality, plumbed-in water filter.
  • Use a stainless steel water bottle rather than a plastic bottle.
  • Buy organic whenever possible. When that's not possible, always wash or peel fruit and veggies to remove pesticides.
  • Instead of deep-frying, opt for steaming or grilling.
  • Buy drinks in glass rather than plastic containers or cartons. (And recycle them!)
  • Rearrange your daily schedule to minimize time spent in traffic.
  • Drink alcohol infrequently.
  • Avoid medical drugs whenever possible unless they're the only option for treating illness. Instead, try to source the underlying cause with the help of a nutritionist or holistic doctor.
  • Switch to natural detergents for household cleaning.
  • Reduce your intake of meat, dairy and fatty foods—when eating meat—always choose organic grass fed meat.
  • Do not heat foods in plastic.
  • Minimize your exposure to foods in plastic—use paper bags to store your cut up fruit and veggies.
  • Avoid canned fruit and veggies.
  • Use an aluminum-free natural deodorant.
  • Cut back on your use of perfume. When you do spritz, spray on your clothes rather than on your skin.
  • Don't fake tan!
  • Choose natural skin products where you can.
