Cleanz was born out of the desire for us to take more control over the only environment we can have control of – our homes.
Simply put, this term describes the amount of toxins in your body that you are unable to get rid of. What is left is called “toxic burden” or “toxic overload”. Too many toxins in your body at once will overload your system, and can lead to increased inflammation and oxidative stress if you don't reduce your exposure.
Inflammation (swelling), which is part of the body’s natural healing system, helps fight injury and infection. But it doesn’t just happen in response to injury and illness. An inflammatory response can also occur when the immune system goes into action without an injury or infection to fight.
Optimizing your immune system has perhaps never felt as critical as it does going into 2021. When it comes to bolstering the immune system, a lot of people just want a quick fix or magic pill, but unfortunately, there is no such thing.
Endocrine disruptors like BPA and phthalates lurk in everything from cleaning products to fragrances. Our bodies are run by a network of hormones and glands (the endocrine system) that regulate everything we do.
We have put together a resource directory of household items, products and articles with DIY tips to help you transform your home into a healthy, toxin-free haven for you and your family.
Air fresheners are amongst the most toxic products found in our homes.
As well as only temporarily masking the odours (and not actually addressing the source of the problem), air fresheners are also potentially extremely harmful to human and pet health.
We spend a lot of time in and around our homes, so it is important to consider how your indoor environment could be affecting the health of you and your family.
