Since I started writing for Eluxe, I’ve learned a lot: about what constitutes ethical fashion, sustainable jewellery, but mainly about natural health. Some of what I learned really surprised me – for example, I had no idea that the toothpaste I was using every day (in my mouth!) was full of toxic chemicals. Other facts I kind of knew, but preferred to sweep under the carpet.
Well, no more. Over the past three years, I’ve made some big changes in my habits, and feel all the healthier for it. Since it’s now the time of year when we’re all making resolutions to improve our lives, I thought I would share with you here the 8 health resolutions to make for the new year that I believe could really make a difference. Of course, you don’t need to subscribe to all of these; but even if you take small steps, beginning with one or two of them (as I did), there will be almost immediate payoffs in terms of your health and well being for the upcoming year.
1. Use Your Mobile Less
We’ve all suspected it for some time, but now studies have proven it: heavy mobile phone use can indeed lead to brain tumors. And when I say ‘heavy’, I mean speaking on the phone for more than around 15 minutes a day (depending on your network, the proximity to a mobile phone mast, and the make of your phone). Why not just cut your losses and send more texts? Learn more about why mobile phones harm your health here.
