How safe is your Family
toothpaste??
We get the best toothpaste
available in the market, we brush 2 times in a day and that’s it…
No carries, no cavity and no
worries.. and all goody..
Well let me burst the bubble and state that we are doomed at the first step …why?? What??
Because my friends that
toothpaste has been lying to us..{with a loud grin, I might add}
we never pay attention to the “active
ingredients” in our germ fighting toothpaste…
have you wondered why we get to hear
so much about cancer incidence in every third person we know…in our family, in our
circle…it’s so prevalent nowadays…why??
Partly because day in –day out we
are using the chemicals that trigger such reaction in our body, and we hardly know!! a little more knowledge, little more effort can save us
and our dear ones!! Awareness about what we use, what we buy…can make a lot of
difference!!
Today while I was watching TV…I
happened to see a very informational programme based on the day to day products
that we use and about their ingredients…that was a real eye opener for me.. I
headed straight to my washroom and got all the toothpastes that we have been
using since ages…and when I checked for their ingredients, I was shocked…it was
all too confusing.....I thought I used the best products… even the toothpaste
that I thought was safe enough for Vihaan was not SAFE!!
What to do?? Now I was aware of
the harmful chemicals that we have been using every day, first thing in the
morning…I had to do something about it and then I searched for the safer options
available...to my surprise even the Dabur red toothpaste had few artificial preservatives…
after much research I finally settled for Vicco vajradanti toothpaste..I found
it to be safe and 100% herbal and Vihaan can use it as well!! ( For more information about Vicco toothpaste click here..) I called up the local supermarket guy
to check for this particular brand which he had…I dumped all other tubes in the
waste bin and pledged to be more alert and wise in terms of choosing the
products that we guys use…in coming days I will research for the Hair shampoos,
conditioner’s and other products that we use and take appropriate actions if
required!!
I will suggest that you guys go
through this Skin Deep
and EWG to know more
about the products that you have been using and if need be, switch to safer options…after
all its for your health and wellbeing…take an initiative!!
AS I say : Love, respect, and
treat your body well, remember it’s where your soul resides”
