One of the easiest ways to celebrate Earth Day is make a healthy
change or two for yourself and family.
Health Briefs TV believes that making personal health a top
priority is one of the best ways to make a positive change in lifestyle. As the
country honors and participates in the 45th celebration of Earth Day
on April 22, we want to share a few green ideas for better health with readers.
Choose organic meat, chicken and fish at the store. There
are no antibiotics in them. Animals are fed a more natural diet.
Visit local farmers markets for produce of the highest and
most Earth-friendly quality. It may cost a tad more than store bought, but it
tastes better and is healthier to consume.
Invest in over the faucet water filters. They are
inexpensive to purchase as are the replaceable filters. One water filter saves
the Earth from thousands of plastic bottles.
Avoid wasting food not used. If a can is opened to gain a
small amount for cooking, put the remaining contents in a reusable plastic
container and freeze them. Don’t cover the can or bottle and put back in the
fridge to get moldy.
The Health Briefs TV show also recommends filling up the
freezer with seasonal produce not consumed yet. No vitamins or nutrients are
lost when food is frozen. It also makes using those colorful fruits and veggies
out of season a whole lot nicer.
Choose Earth-friendly cleaning products and paper goods for the home.
Earth Day 2015 is a great day to make positive healthy
choices in your life. Choose one or more and be on the way to a greener and
healthier living.
