1. Non-Stick Saviors Or Silent Assassins

Our beloved Teflon pans, whisks and toaster ovens make life easier, right? But here’s the thing: under the high heat these nonstick coatings can release chemicals known as PFAS ( per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances).

Junk food like Hot dogs, bacon, and salami – they are indeed delicious staples in many households. But the convenience comes with a cost. Processed meats are classified as carcinogenic by the World Health Organization. Do you know the culprits? They are nitrates and nitrites that are used for the preservations. They react with the proteins in our bodies to form the harmful compounds. So if you want to enjoy the occasional sausage, is it not a death sentence but moderation is the key.

Alternative Option:

Try to opt for plant-based protein or fresh meats, or poultry whenever you can.

3. Cleaning with the chemicals: Not so fast!

We scrub, we spray, we polish all in the name of a sparkling clean home. But many of our household cleaners are packed with harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia and formaldehyde. They can cause irritation to our lungs and skin. Long-term exposure can lead to increased risk of certain cancers.
