Safe Food Storage: Which Is Better– Glass Food Storage or Plastic Food Containers?
Proper food storage is essential to prevent food poisoning and preserve nutrients. While plastic containers are convenient, they can release harmful toxins like BPA and phthalates, especially when exposed to heat or cold. Glass containers, in contrast, are toxin-free, easier to clean, and safe for freezing and heating. Choosing glass food storage containers helps reduce exposure to environmental toxins, which is crucial for overall health and reducing the risk of chronic illness. By making this simple switch, you can safely store food while supporting a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.

Nutrient Deficiency and Autoimmune Disease: Identifying 6 Key Deficiencies
Your immune system is a complex machine, and it can’t function properly without the right fuel. There are six key nutrients that I consider to be the premium fuel for your immune system. That being said, nutrient deficiencies need to be addressed to ensure optimal health. If you are deficient in any or all of these key nutrients, your immune system is at risk to go haywire. It could attack your body’s own tissues and lead you down what I call the Autoimmune Spectrum®, from experiencing uncomfortable symptoms to developing a full-blown autoimmune disease.
