HEALTH!!!

Not only is the nutrition that we put in our bodies important but also the products we come in contact with on a daily basis. Here we take a look our Physical & Environmental Health

Physical Health

Your  p h y s i c a l   h e a l t h  is the most important thing you possess.

Think about these gifts:

• You have a heart that beats over 100,000 times a day without you having to think about it.
• You have muscles that if they were to work together and pull in one direction, would equal tons of pulling power.
• And this entire process is operated by a body that’s made mostly of  water and a three-pound lump of matter we call our brain.
• It works for over 70 years with very little maintenance required and runs on about as much electricity as you might use for a 10-watt light bulb, but has the storage capacity that, even with today’s technology, would require 10 million square feet.

Ultimately, the factors that influence your health and vitality most are your c h o i c e s. Current research shows that many of today’s major health concerns are directly related to lifestyle choices which are preventable or minimized by developing good health habits.

When you consider some of the biggest health concerns we all face today, what are some that come to mind?

The statistics on the increasing incidence of these health concerns – and their causes – are troubling.

As you know, there is nothing more powerful than our body’s own inherent ability to heal itself…as long as we provide it with what it needs to maintain optimum health:

The WHY Circle can show you how to take a more pro-active role in your physical vitality – simple lifestyle choices that don’t interrupt your life, only enhance it. Through scientifically developed, patented products, and education about wellness at the cellular level, you’ll find it easier than ever to be Preventive – vs. Reactive – in the area of health and wellness for you and your family.

“This makes sense,” you’ll think to yourself. “It’s time that I take more personal responsibility for my immediate and long-term health…it’s really all I have.”

So where do you go from here?

Environmental Health

Typically when we hear “Environmental Wellness,” we think of our forests, waterways and ozone. The condition of our earth and its resources are certainly a concern of ours. But of equal or greater concern is our home environment.

The quality of the air we breathe and the things that touch our skin on a regular basis can dramatically affect our health without us even realizing it.

The WHY Circle is committed to educating consumers like you about why and how to make wiser, healthier shopping decisions for yourself and your family in a convenient, affordable way.

We invite you to explore our site and draw your own conclusions about what makes more sense – continuing to frequent your local grocer, pharmacy or discount club for your household necessities – or redirecting that budget to a safer store whose mission is to enhance the quality of people’s lives.

Are you innocently poisoning your family?

There is research and data linking the state of our health and the use of or exposure to chemicals in household cleaning and personal care products.

Dr. Joyce Woods, in her book Create a Safe & Healthy Home ©1996, supplies us with some statistics about our greatest exposure to chemicals being right in our own home:

• More than 72,000 synthetic chemicals have been produced since WWII.
• Less than 2% of synthetic chemicals in wide spread use have ever been tested for toxicity, birth defects or their mutagenic or carcinogenic effects.
• The average home today contains 62 toxic chemicals, more than a chemistry lab at the turn of the century.

Today, children have chemical exposures from birth that their parents didn’t have until they were adults. Developing cells in children’s bodies are more susceptible to damage than adult cells that have completed development, especially for the Central Nervous System.

Until a child is approximately 13 months of age, they have virtually no ability to fight the biological and neurological effects of toxic chemicals.

~ Raising Children Toxic Free © 1995 Needleman, M.D. and Landrigan, M.D.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that 150 chemicals that are commonly found in the home have been linked to allergies, birth defects and psychological abnormalities. Chemicals linked to all of these health problems are under your sink, in your shower, and all throughout the house.

Women and children spend a lot of time at home indoors and some of the primary suspected chemicals are linked to household products such as cleaners, laundry detergents and pesticides like those you might find in a can of common household disinfectant.

There has been a united US/Canadian Commission lobbying to have bleach banned from household use for some time now, but the multi billion dollar manufacturing companies have a very powerful and financially persuasive lobby that has been successful in preventing that so far.

Asthma rates have increased at an alarming rate, with household cleaners, laundry detergents and cosmetics among the prime suspects and known asthma triggers.

Think about what’s in the air we breathe. Walk down the aisle at your local supermarket or drug store that houses all the cleaners and take a deep breath - if you can. Still think there’s nothing to any of this?

Chemicals get into our bodies 3 ways:

·         Inhalation (we breathe 10,000-20,000 liters of air per day)

·         Ingestion (think of the pesticides used on your food)

·         Absorption (why transdermal “patch” technology works)

We all just assume…“They wouldn’t sell it if it wasn’t safe…would they?” Currently, in both Canada and the United States, labeling laws do not protect the consumer but rather big business. For example, Pesticides commonly used in the home and around the garden are only required by law to list the “active” ingredients, on the label. Up to 99% of the contents are usually “inert” (meaning inactive) ingredients many of which are toxic or poisonous.
