Recommendation #2: Get Rid of the Teflon

Non-stick pans are great, aren't they? Well, yes they are, as long as they're not coated with teflon, or whatever other name they call that black non-stick coating on your frying pans these days. Go down to the local Walmart and pick up a non-stick, ceramic pan. Then get rid of any other pots or pans that have a black non-stick coating on them. The coating that they use gets into your food and subsequently into your body.

There will be a prevailing theme with these recommendations, which is that you want to avoid putting chemicals and other non-natural agents into your body. In the first recommendation, we eliminated aluminum from getting into your body through your underarm deodorant. And in this recommendation, we want to eliminate teflon from getting into your food and into your body.

So far, in these first 2 recommendations I haven't asked you to change your eating habits or exercise more or any of the other typical things you find in a list geared towards healthier living. The idea here is simply to swap things out, gradually, and give yourself time to get used to each change before tackling the next recommendation. So, enjoy your new ceramic cookware and stay tuned for the next recommendation.

Recommendation #1: Switch to Aluminum-Free Deodorant

Putting aluminum in your body is extremely bad for you. Aluminum in your body will increase your chances of getting sick and getting cancer. This is pretty well documented but the vast majority of people I speak to don't realize how dangerous aluminum is for your body. The first thing that you must do is check the label on your deodorant. Chances are, it has aluminum in it, and every day you are putting aluminum into your body through your armpits. All you have to do here is switch your deodorant. Personally, I use Toms of Maine deodorant, which is one of the few aluminum-free choices in the supermarket aisle.

How to use this blog and change your life

I started this blog with the hopes of helping others do what I did and change their life. Each blog post is a recommendation on changing something in your life to make you healthier, avoid sickness and even cancer, and treat your body well. After all, you only get one body in life, and so you should really take care of it. But the things listed here are designed to take as little effort as possible. There is no calorie counting here, or vigorous workout routines or anything like that. It's mostly about giving up things that are preventing your body from operating normally.

The best way to make the changes that are recommended here is to do it gradually. Make one change per week or per month. Don't try to do it all at once. The more gradually you make these changes, the easier it will be for you, and the better chance you will have at success. At some point, once you have made a lot of these changes, you will start to notice that you will become sick less often and generally feel better. You will lower your risk of getting cancer, and you will start to see others making the mistakes you used to make and you will notice differences in life between yourself and them.

Ok well enjoy the blog, and please comment!
