Toxins in the Home
Our homes are filled with hidden toxins – kitchen and bathroom cleaners, bleach, ammonia, carpet shampoos, and this is only the beginning. They are absorbed through our skin and lungs as we “clean”. Our children and pets spend much of their time on that floor that was just cleaned with a chemical cleaner, which gets ingested or absorbed through their skin. Bleach and ammonia leave a toxic residue and hazardous fumes. There are natural alternatives available for all our cleaning needs! Kick the chemicals out of your home and use a natural, concentrated citrus product like Orange TKO that is very effective and versatile, smells great and costs less to use! – Lona Larter, www.tkoorange.com

Smoking Affects Your Hearing
Did you make any New Year’s resolutions? If you are a smoker, you can now add increased risk of hearing loss to the list of reasons to quit. The chemicals found in cigarettes may affect the way your ear processes sound. In fact, smokers have been found to be 15% more likely to have hearing loss than non-smokers. Hearing loss isn’t fatal, but it can lead to a number of health-related issues down the line. Dementia & depression have been linked to untreated hearing loss, so be sure to have your ears checked regularly. Get started by scheduling a hearing test today.
