Non-Toxic Living Attitude


    Attitude is a certain mental disposition commonly known asan opinion or general feeling about something”. Non-toxic living attitude starts with mental preferences with regard to poisonous substances. By making preferences to choose non-toxic living lifestyle individual has an opportunity to experience extreme sense of well-being, fulfillment, satisfaction, unity with natural source, known as sense of wellness.

    Poisonous substances are known as toxins and toxicants. Toxins are produced by living cell or organisms. Toxicants are typically introduced into the environment by human activity. Both toxins and toxicants can produce an adverse response in a biological system, seriously injuring structure or function, or resulting in death. Very important survival aspect of humanity is decreasing the potential of causing acute or chronic adverse effects of poisonous substances in people, animals and plants.

    Non-toxic living attitude is based on natural tendency of human mind to choose vitality instead of decay. We can increase its potential and regulate our daily activities by conscious preference, not only by survival instincts. Developing non-toxic living attitude expands our consciousness wider. We can't completely remove toxins and toxicants from our lives as a source of a problem, but we can eliminate and eventually eradicate the problem itself by questioning our beliefs and values and make right choices for ourselves and our families and pets. Making conscious choices means that we consider a variety of options and select those in our best interest.

    The fashion trends of green living and organic products are not always relevant to non-toxic living attitude. Some news and discoveries sound not attractive at all. Organic fruits contain acids which dissolve teeth enamel twice faster, organic vegetables loose all essential vitamins during cooking process, row eating causes stomach disease, wearing wool clothing often provokes allergic reaction and skin irritation, disgusting sprays produce better cosmetic effects, organic compost contains heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,pharmaceuticals,steroids,flame-retardants,bacteria,fungi,parasites and viruses.

   The first steps for developing non-toxic living attitude are simple.
      1. Accept toxins and their complicated essence. Don’t be obsessed with them. All that bacteria and microbes were created by living cells. That creation was done for a reason. We will never know why they cause so many problems, but we can cure them with the same natural sources. We can't avoid them totally but we can eliminate their dangerous functions to some extend.
     2. Avoid toxicants, the poisonous chemical compounds, introduced to the environment by human activity. Stop producing them, stop using them. Use only natural materials and products.


                  
Sense of Wellness
 

More than ever before, we hear this word in the news, on billboards, in conversation and even at work. Interestingly, there is no universally-accepted definition of wellness. There is, however, a set of common characteristics seen in most thoughtful attempts at a definition of wellness. We generally see a reference to a “state of well-being,” which is vague, to say the least. Also frequently seen is a “state of acceptance or satisfaction with our present condition.” The truth is, wellness is a tough word to define. Charles B. Corbin of Arizona State University  gives this definition of wellness:
 “Wellness is a multidimensional state of being describing the existence of positive health in an individual as exemplified by quality of life and a sense of well-being.”
 Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a more successful existence.

  • Process means that improvement is always possible
  • Aware means that we are continuously seeking more information about how we can improve.
  • Choices means that we consider a variety of options and select those in our best interest.
  • Success is determined by each individual to be their collection of life accomplishments.

Removing toxicants from our daily life brings a sense of purity and unity with Natural Source.
Natural Source represents the greatest abundance ever.
The word wealth is derived from the old English we la and means affluence.
Wealth is the abundance of valuable resources or material possessions or the control of such assets.An individual, community, region or country that possesses an abundance of such possessions or resources is known as wealthy.
What could be consider more valuable then the source of Nature ?
Non-toxic living attitude starts with mental preferences with regard to poisonous substances.
By making preferences to choose non-toxic living lifestyle individual has an opportunity to experience extreme sense of well-being, fulfillment, satisfaction known as sense of wellness.
General strategy for developing non-toxic living attitude:
Use only natural materials and products
