Let’s face it—our food just isn’t what it used to be. Even if you’re filling your plate with organic fruits and veggies, our soils are so depleted of minerals that food isn’t as nutrient-dense as it was 100 years ago. It’s kind of like comparing a juicy homegrown tomato to the bland, pale supermarket variety. Sadly, our modern farming practices have left our soil, and in turn our food, lacking essential nutrients.

Enter food supplements! No matter how clean or “organic” you eat, it’s tough to get all the vitamins and minerals you need from food alone. That’s why a multivitamin is a great way to cover your bases and ensure you aren’t missing out on key nutrients. With a good multi, you can rest easy knowing you’re not deficient in anything essential.

Now, let’s talk omega-3s. Nutritionist Lola highly recommends adding fish oil to your supplement routine, and for good reason! Omega-3 and omega-6 fats need to be in balance—ideally a 1:2 ratio. But thanks to our grain-heavy, processed food diets, most of us are rocking a crazy 1:60 ratio. Yikes! That’s way too much omega-6, which can lead to inflammation. Unfortunately, everything from nuts and seeds to dairy and meat is packed with omega-6.

While oily fish is a great source of omega-3s, it comes with its own baggage—like toxic oceans and heavy metals (not the rock band kind). To skip the mercury and still get your omega-3 fix, Lola recommends a high-quality fish oil supplement. It’s safer, more convenient, and you’ll know exactly what you’re putting into your body.

So, while you’re eating your kale and quinoa, don’t forget to pop a multi and fish oil. Your body will thank you!

Why It’s Time to Ditch Chemical Cleaners for Good: Natural Cleaning to the Rescue!

These days, danger seems to lurk in every corner of the house—no, I’m not talking about haunted furniture or mysterious creaks. I’m talking about those bright, cheerful bottles of supermarket cleaning products that promise to scrub, shine, and disinfect our homes. What they don’t mention? They’re also leaving behind a toxic trail of chemicals that could be messing with your health!

Many household cleaners are loaded with nasties like SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) and phthalates—both of which can seriously mess with your neurotransmitters and metabolism. Some of these chemicals even mimic oestrogen, throwing your hormones out of whack and leading to all sorts of imbalances. That might explain why you’ve been feeling a bit “off” lately (and not just because your neighbor’s dog won’t stop barking).

The list of potential health issues doesn’t stop there. Eczema, allergies, asthma, and even behavioral problems have all been linked to the toxic stew in your cleaning cupboard. Breathing in those fumes isn’t just tough on your nose—it’s hard on your lungs and skin too.

But here’s the good news: you don’t have to live in a bubble or turn into a cleaning rebel! Natural cleaning products are here to save the day, powered by nature and free of harmful chemicals. These gentle, plant-based cleaners can transform your home into a toxin-free zone without sacrificing cleanliness. Essential oils, baking soda, and vinegar get the job done safely—and your body will thank you!

Making the switch to natural cleaning products can be life-changing. It’s not just about sparkling floors and lemon-scented countertops; it’s about ditching the chemicals for good and breathing easier (literally). So, toss those toxic cleaners, and let nature take care of the mess! Your health will shine as brightly as your newly cleaned house.
