Healthy Living & Chemical Exposure
The most important fact to keep in mind is "Children Are Not Little Adults". Chemical exposure that does not effect adults can be toxic to children and some seniors. Reducing toxins and chemicals in our day-to-day lives helps to protect our children and families from invisible dangers and health risks.
Creating a chemical free, safe, healthy home environment requires lifestyle changes and is one of the most important tasks one can do to protect their families. Reducing chemical exposure goes beyond the garage, laundry room and under the sink. We hardly give any thought to the invisible dangers on the food we consume or in personal care products.
Most importantly is finding practical solutions to reducing chemical exposure. We have outlined a few steps to help you get started. Learn More

In addition washing away infectious microbes from raw meats and fresh produce ozone can oxidize and eliminate many chemical residues from your food. After the ozone oxidizes microbes, pesticieds or chemical reside the only residue is (O2) a molecule of oxygen.
