Let’s talk air chilled vs conventional chicken Did you know conventional chicken is bathed in ice bath after defeathering and to reduce the risk of bacteria spreading during the ice bath, they add chlorine to the water!? 🤢 The USDA says this is safe for consumption, but the EU banned it in 1997 due to concerns over safety and effectiveness. Air chilling chicken does NOT add chemicals or water to processing. This means there is no added water weight (or chemicals) so you get exactly what you pay for! If you can’t get your chicken straight from the farmer, it seems like organic, air chilled chicken is the way to go 🐓 Did you know this!? What kind of chicken do you buy? #healthy #healthyfood #nontoxic #nontoxicliving #lowtox #lowtoxliving #chemicals #chicken #health #foodtiktok #foodtok #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #change #healthandwellness #wellness #wellnessjourney #journey #healing #healingjourney #cancer #cancersucks #breastcancer

Did you know 100% beeswax candles actually purify your air instead of adding toxins to it?? 🐝 Beeswax candles release negative ions when burned, which help to neutralize pollutants like dust, mold, and allergens in the air, improving air quality. 🐝 They burn longer than regular paraffin candles, making them more cost-effective over time. 🐝Beeswax candles are made from pure, natural ingredients, unlike paraffin candles which can release harmful chemicals like toluene and benzene into your indoor air. 🐝They emit a subtle, honey-like aroma without needing any artificial fragrances, perfect for those with sensitivities. 🐝Beeswax is a renewable resource, and using these candles supports sustainable beekeeping practices. 🐝Beeswax burns with a warm, golden light that creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere. #nontoxic #nontoxicliving #healthyliving #bees #bee #honey #beeswax #beeswaxcandles #healthandwellness #healthylifestyle #life #lifestyle #lifehack #clean #candle #candles #wellness #wellnessjourney #healing #healingjourney #mood #cancer #cancersucks #breastcancer

Another change I made after battling cancer was swapping our cooking utensils. I was still using the black plastic utensils prior to diagnosis🙅‍♀️🫣 so once I started learning about all the areas of our homes which increased our exposure to toxins, this was an easy swap! I like to have bamboo and stainless steel for use, depending on what I’m cooking that day. 100% bamboo is not coated in anything toxic, unlike some of the wooden spoons on the market. On their own, they prevent bacteria from growing on them, making them a very hygienic choice for your home. They are also not prone to stains or odors because they don't absorb smells or flavors like some other plastic, wooden, or metal utensils. Also, their scratch-resistant surface means there are no grooves for dirt to hide and cause discoloration or smells. To clean, simply hand wash them with warm water and mild dish soap and they're good to go. When buying stainless steel utensils, you want to look for 18/10 or 18/0 stainless steel. I prefer 18/10, and I’ll tell you why. 18/10 stainless steel is made up of 72% iron, 18% chromium, and 10% nickel, it’s known for its strength and polished appearance. Chromium ensures corrosion resistance, while nickel adds durability. It is used in high-quality kitchenware, cutlery, medical instruments, industrial applications, construction, and jewelry, offering better rust and stain resistance than 18/8 and 18/0 stainless steel, but the price will go up a little. Always, always check what your products are made out of being purchasing. I’ll link my favorites from Amazon on instagram 🥰 #nontoxic #nontox #lowtox #lowtoxliving #nontoxicliving #kitchen #cook #cooking #cookware #utensils #toxins #toxic #wellness #wellnessjourney #healthandwellness #healing #healingjourney #lifestyle #change #cancer #cancersucks #breastcancer #cancerwarrior
