2.6.23 By Annie N

*This is a collaborative post.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed by all of the synthetic chemicals present in our air, food, cosmetics and furniture? If that is the case for you, living a more sustainable and enjoyable way may be the answer. Living naturally can provide many advantages for physical health, mental wellbeing and environmental impact. From selecting organic produce to investing in eco-friendly furniture, this post explores all of the ways living naturally can positively influence your lifestyle.

Eating OrganicĀ 

One of the easiest and healthiest ways to live naturally is through eating organic produce. By doing so, you can avoid exposure to harmful toxins and pesticides used on conventionally farmed produce. Furthermore, organic fruits and vegetables contain more vitamins and minerals than their non-organic counterparts, contributing towards overall wellness.

Investing in Eco-Friendly Furniture

Modern furniture pieces often contain toxic substances like formaldehyde and other synthetic chemicals, making your home unsafe and polluting the planet. By purchasing eco-friendly pieces made with sustainable materials such as bamboo or recycled plastic and natural finishes rather than chemical-based options, you can avoid harmful toxins while simultaneously helping the planet.

Utilizing Natural Cleaning Products

Store-bought cleaning products can contain harmful chemicals that are detrimental to both you and the environment. Opting for natural alternatives like vinegar, baking soda, essential oils and citrus peels is a non-toxic and cost-saving way of combating messes in the long run!

Integrating Energy Efficient Appliances & Lighting Solutions

By investing in energy-efficient appliances, you can significantly lower both energy usage and pollution levels. Look for products displaying the ENERGY STAR logo to ensure you are purchasing an efficient product. Another solution is to switch out traditional light bulbs for LED ones. These last up to 25 times longer, with 75% lower energy use!

Reduce Food Waste & Compost Effectively

Food waste is a significant contributor to landfills and emits methane gas at an alarming rate. To combat this problem, try minimising waste by only buying what you really need. This will make it easier to eat everything before it spoils. If you still have some food waste, composting instead of going straight into landfills is also a way to help reduce your environmental impact. Composting helps keep organic matter out of landfills while adding valuable nutrients back into soil – plus you can use your compost in your own garden to help your plants flourish!

Ditch Single Use Plastics and Choose Reusable Options

Single-use plastics are one of the primary contributors to plastic pollution worldwide, so one way you can help is by replacing single-use straws and water bottles with reusable alternatives. They make great travel companions too! You could also consider switching out disposable grocery store bags for reusable shopping or produce bags. Making these small changes can have a substantial impact in lowering environmental impact.

All-Natural Skin and Hair Care Products

Instead of opting for chemical-laden beauty products, try selecting organic and plant-based options instead. Natural skin and hair care products made with these ingredients are often just as effective, while being better for the environment. No harsh chemicals end up polluting our waterways! They are also safer for your health since they lack potentially toxic ingredients that may lead to skin reactions. Inspire Beauty offers an impressive range of natural skin and hair care products designed to make you look and feel your best!

Living naturally can be a fantastic way to protect both yourself and the planet while looking great! By opting for products made with organic and plant-based ingredients instead of chemical-laden ones, you can experience all of the advantages that come from living more sustainably.
