4 Steps to a Non-Toxic Kitchen | Guest Feature: Three Little Plums

You want, no you need a ‘detox’;  you want to eat healthier, feel better and decrease the toxins you are exposed to. Your first step, you might think, is to embark on a clean food regime- an organic, colorful,  superfood filled diet.  But, hold on there.  In order to have a truly clean meal you need to take a look at where your meal is prepared:  the kitchen.  Does your kitchen support you in your non-toxic living journey?  If it doesn’t , your kitchen and the items you use to prepare your meals, could essentially be contaminating your healthy food and exposing you to harmful  chemicals.  This is why detoxing your kitchen is just as important as detoxing your diet.

Although, truly, if you want to get technical about it, we’ve been eating it for decades, because we grew up on soups of all sorts, most of them divined — alchemical-style — out of a pot full of water, some vegetables, and a big pile of bones. Bone broths have sustained us through childhood sicknesses, broken hearts, and most recently, through some nasty bouts of autoimmune crises. In so many ways, bone broth is life-sustaining.
