Health #Tip 1 Clean up with a natural thyroid diet
When
it comes to protecting your thyroid health research confirms choosing organic
produce whenever feasible is the way to go. This is due to the fact that most
conventionally grown fruits and vegetables harbour an array of pesticide
residues.
Pesticides
are toxic by design and are created specifically to eradicate living organisms
such as insect pests, noxious plants and fungi. Pesticides also pose health
dangers to humans, particularly the thyroid.
The
Environmental Working Group (EWG) provides cutting edge research to help
consumers make healthier food choices. The EWG recently released their Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce.
Dubbed
the ‘dirty dozen’ the fruit and vegetables the EWG found to have the highest
levels of pesticides included; apples, strawberries, grapes, celery, peaches,
spinach, capsicums, nectarines, cucumbers, potatoes, cherry tomatoes and hot
peppers.
When
given a choice more and more people are opting for organic fruits and
vegetables. Your decision to purchase good quality organic produce can
significantly lower your pesticide intake. The EWG Shopper’s Guide to
Pesticides in Produce is a great place to start your research.

Health #Tip 2 Get green cleaning
Household
cleaning products can host an array of hazardous chemicals. The Environmental
Working Group (EWG) think keeping your home clean shouldn’t be a health risk.
Their Guide to Healthy Cleaning shines
the spotlight on cleaning products. One of the key concerns raised by the EWG
is the lack of disclosure regarding the numerous ingredients found in household
cleaning products.
For
example; a lemon fresh or pine scent isn’t necessarily healthy or natural.
Fragrances are often synthetic aromas engineered by combining dozens of
chemicals. The EWG Guide to Healthy Cleaning will help you sidestep harmful
cleaning products and find environment friendly alternatives.

Health #Tip 3 Bathe in clean water
Shower
filters reduce exposure to fluoride, chlorine and other water impurities that
are readily absorbed via the skin. Chlorine is very drying so when you shower
in chlorine free water you will notice your hair becomes softer and your skins
becomes more radiant. In addition I suggest you stay out of pools and spas as
they contain high levels of chlorine. Chlorine and fluoride both block thyroid
activity.
Most
companies gloss over the use of chemicals in their products. This is despite
the fact that hidden toxins from perfumes, cosmetics and personal care products
are inhaled or absorbed rapidly and entered into the blood stream directly.
Remember…anything going on you, goes in you.
Once
a chemical is in the bloodstream it eventually washes through the thyroid as
this gland has a rich blood supply. Find out what is in your product and
discover safer alternatives to dangerous cosmetics at the Safe Cosmetics website.

Health #Tip 5 Make your home your health sanctuary
Your
home is your health sanctuary. Encourage a ‘shoes off at the front door’
policy to reduce the amount of dirt and toxic particles that are tracked into
your home.
Replace
chemical air fresheners with freshly picked flowers or mix a few drops of
essential oil with water in a spray bottle and use this as a natural room
deodoriser. It goes without saying that visitors should not smoke in your home.
Safeguard Thyroid Health # Tip 6
Improve indoor air quality
Clean
and vacuum regularly to
remove dust and dirt that builds up indoors. Cleaning with clove oil is a
simple step to ensure your home remains mould free.
You
could also use the power of nature to help clean the air indoors by adding in
some plants. However if air quality is a particular concern you may need to
invest in a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter to help purify the
air.
