While we’re indoors in greater numbers and for longer periods than ever before due to lockdowns, making the best of the space you have is more important than ever. Being indoors relying on digital means to conduct pretty much every affair of the world is a drain on your health—not the best deal during a time when you want more, not less, resilient immunity.
Our body’s master clock, or the SCN (suprachiasmatic nuclei), directly responds to light, and is the reason why we have sleep-wake cycles that are determined by light exposure. Artificial light disrupts this clock and its circadian rhythms, which may contribute to chronic insomnia, as well as other chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and cancer. Under the wrong light, your body is confused about what to do when and starts doing them at the wrong time.
When we embarked on our own renovations for a healthy home, the kitchen was a big priority. Fast forward to now — 2020 has put a big spotlight on being indoors at home. We’ve never done so much cooking and eating, hanging out and chores. It’s been a real “test” on how our kitchen choices are working for us and affecting our daily routines. I’m glad to finally share this chat and documentation here
Childhood is an amazing time of rapid growth and development, and should be protected. But there’s accumulating evidence that the environment we live in is increasingly a threatening one for our most vulnerable. Even before babies are born, environmental pollutants, found in our personal spaces and daily items, can be causing developmental harm.
If you are considering whether to send your child to school again, familiarise yourself with the environmental elements that affect biology and learn about electromagnetic safety. Then, take time to consider each element in your child’s school to determine whether or not it is a healthy environment.
