A Little Dirt on Fat!

Is cleaning your house making you fat?  

We know that stress can contribute to weight gain. Can cleaning your home cause that stress? If the products you use contain dangerous chemicals, it very well could be contributing.


Exposing our bodies to toxins in the home contributes to stress on the body. Stress causes metabolic and hormonal responses in the body that can cause the body to make more or hold onto FAT (adipose tissues).


This month we want to take a look at those household cleaners and alternatives that could help prevent some of those stresses on the body.  (Not only that it could save you a lot of money... in the cost of your cleaning supplies AND in trips to the doctor's office.)

Many environmental toxins in fat can contribute to obesity, diabetes and cancer as well as many other diseases common today.

What many people seem to be surprised by is that toxins are in fact stored in the body, in the fat. To eliminate the source of some of these toxins begins to make the body healthier, allowing it to function properly and combat the other day-to-day stresses.  Eliminating causes of stress, lowers the amount of cortisol released into the body, reducing the "fat building" mechanisms.

Look for our stories this month explaining these mechanisms and offering easy, inexpensive options.
