The everyday habit I ditched to boost my energy, mood, and health—and you can too! It wasn’t some trendy supplement or intense fitness program. A game-changer in my health journey came from addressing something I had completely overlooked for years: the artificial fragrances in my everyday life. They might smell amazing, but behind the alluring scents of perfumes, candles, and air fresheners lurks a hidden danger that could be silently impacting your well-being. When I finally learned about the toxic effects of these chemicals, it all started to make sense—the fatigue, headaches, and mood swings weren’t just random; they were connected to what I was exposing myself to daily. Artificial fragrances might smell great, but they come with hidden dangers. Most perfumes, candles, and air fresheners contain synthetic chemicals like phthalates, which disrupt hormones, and VOCs, which can cause immediate issues like: 🆘headaches 🆘respiratory issues 🆘fatigue And over time these toxins build up in your body over time, affecting your: 🆘energy 🆘mood 🆘and even your fertility. Here’s my 3-step plan to detox from artificial fragrances: 1️⃣ Identify hidden fragrances Look for labels with words like “fragrance” or “parfum.” These terms often hide a cocktail of harmful chemicals. Start by checking perfumes, air fresheners, and cleaning products. 2️⃣ Swap for natural alternatives Replace artificial fragrances with essential oils, beeswax candles, or unscented products. For example, swap air fresheners for an essential oil diffuser or use baking soda for odor control. 3️⃣ Ventilate your space Open your windows daily to reduce indoor toxin buildup. Indoor air can be 2-5x more polluted than outdoor air👀, so fresh airflow is essential. Comment ‘DETOX’ if you’re ready to clean up your environment and boost your health. PMID: 36976159
