Less toxins = more happiness
There are many harmful chemicals and pesticides in our 'progressive' society.
Many chemicals can create havoc within our own immune systems and endocrine systems creating disease and degeneration. Neurotoxins affect our mental state causing anger, confusion, loss of memory, depression etc etc. Fast foods, canned fizzy drinks and food additives can contain neurotoxins.
These same toxins either ingested, breathed in, or absorbed by the skin, have a greater impact on the unborn child, the newborn child and the toddler, as the brain is still undergoing development.
The air we breathe is full of different toxic chemicals including cigarette smoke, perfumes and air fresheners, fumes from cleaning agents, petrol and diesel, paint fumes, new white goods, cars, vinyl products, carpets .....and the list goes on and on. Huge amounts of toxic chemicals are released into the atmosphere every second of the day.
A responsible conscious parent will try to reduce toxic chemical intake as much as possible.
For Example
Use organic natural garden care.
Do not use insect sprays near children. Remove yourself as quickly as possible from sprayed area. Drink loads of water and go outside for awhile. Also wash hands and face ASAP with water.
Not buy a new car to bring the baby home from hospital.
Shut car windows when filling up with petrol/diesel.
Stop smoking and ask friends to smoke outside away from the baby/child.
Paint the nursery with non-toxic paint.
Keep children away from paint fumes and other chemicals. Don`t use hairsprays and potent cleaning agents, be creative and think outside the box! See what is available, and chemical free, from the Health Food Shop.
I remember taking a new mattress, that stank of chemicals, out into the paddock for awhile, until there was no more 'smell', before being used. When my kids were small, and aluminium-free deodorants were not available, I would wear a frangipane flower in my hair or tucked into my blouse. The scent was beautiful.
A responsble conscious parent will be eating a good healthy organic home cooked diet.
A responsble conscious parent will not be ingesting fizzy drinks like coke a cola that quickens the heart rate
and effects the brain and will not be giving these drinks to their children or feeding the children with packaged or fast food. For a treat why not have orange juice mixed with mineral water?
Be responsible and aware of what your child is breathing in, ingesting and absorbing. Check for chemical-free alternatives.
THE TV OBSESSION
Having the TV on all morning or afternoon will impact on the child`s life. I have seen some parents actually place their newborn baby directly in front of their massive TV (between them and the TV). Electro magnetic fields given off from TVs, computers etc do weaken the immune system so keep your distance!
Sound pollution can be a problem and so can the lack of imagination and stimuli created by too much TV.
It`s no wonder that depressed people blob out in front of the TV - maybe the electromagnetic disturbances impact the watcher helping to create the depression!!!
Keep light and aware, not obsessive and grumpy. EVERY CHILD SHOULD FEEL THE JOY OF LIFE & NOT GROW UP FEARFUL. Less toxins = more happiness
BE AWARE AND RESPONSIBLE so that your children have the very best opportunity in life to reach their full potential. Happiness and success will then be possible.
Here`s to being awake and having a healthy well-balanced child
Until next time
Cheers and love CMW
