Best Tips For Natural and Eco Friendly Living
By:Eve Zhu

By following the tips below, you will soon find yourself breezing through the day as naturally as you've always wanted to!

1. Buy certified organic food from a local market or health food store.

You will soon find that it doesn't need to be expensive. Just compare prices from your local sources and grab good bargains.

2. Stop using plastics.

This might seem almost impossible, but it can be done. Start by replacing your plastic food containers with glass jars. You can replace your children's plastic lunch wrap with unwaxed wrap.

3. Look at ingredients on labels.

Buy a small reference book with additive and preservative codes, to take shopping. Only buy products that don't contain those nasties.

4. Stop using sunscreen.

By looking at the ingredients on your average sunscreen, you'll notice that they are full of highly toxic additives. Instead,go out in the sun when the rays are the least harmful - early mornings or late afternoons. And carry an umbrella for shade at other times!

5. Drink fresh and organic vegetable juices daily.

This might be the best thing you could do for your overall health. A fantastic way to detox, energize and give your taste buds a real treat.

6. Drink lots of clean water.

Your body constantly needs to replenish lost fluids. Clean, filtered water is the best way to doing this. The average adult needs to drink a minimum 8 glasses per day. It will help you lose weight too!

7. Create a Feng Shui environment in your home.

Feng Shui means the force of wind and the flow of water. It is the ancient Chinese practice of harmonising the energies of Yin (female) and Yang (male) in the environment. If there is too much Yin energy in your home, you need to add more Yang. Create harmony in your home by learning about this wise practice.

8. Find out how you can use truly natural and organic ways to enhance your beauty.

Did you know that strawberries are a fantastic, natural tooth whitener? And apple cider vinegar creates a beautiful shine to your hair? Find out more.

9. Learn from animals and birds.

Have you noticed that they often go to sleep at dusk? They also eat 100% raw food. Maybe you could do the same. You might be surprised at the results!

10. Wear natural materials.

Instead of synthetics made from toxic petrochemicals, treat your body to the comfort and eco friendly materials such as organic cotton, hemp and other plant based fabrics. You may pay slightly more, but your body and the planet will thank you.
