1. All up in
your grill. While barbequing on a
grill this summer, be sure to use propane rather than wood or charcoal since
propane burns cleaner. When it’s time to
clean the grill use an organic cleaning product and avoid the chemical residue
other products leave behind.
2. Picking picnic
plates. Use reusable dishes rather than plastic or Styrofoam when eating
outside. This will cut down on the waste
and save you money in the long run!
3. Lawn
days. Do not spray your lawn! Such
sprays are unnecessary and contain chemicals that are bad for our health. Check out this article for tips on maintaining a healthy lawn without the spray.
4. Bugs, bite! To keep the mosquitoes at bay this summer, reach for a
natural repellent. A variety of herbal
and essential oils, such as citronella oil, are highly effective. Check out this article
for a recipe!
5. Local motion.
Buy your summer veggies locally.
Visiting your local farmers’ markets is a great way not only to get
active, but also to avoid foods grown with pesticides.
6. Garden
greens. Better yet, start your own garden!
This is a fun outdoor activity for the whole family, and it will supply
you with those fresh greens you are after.
7. Screen
the sun. And before running outside, remember to grab that organic
sunscreen!
With these tips in mind, you will be ready to start your
summer of the healthy way!
