101 Ways to Purify Your Body and Your Life
Ambitious title, I know.
Luckily, I am not the one responsible for coming up with the ways. Leave that to www.nursingschoolsearch.com who has compiled this nifty little list for you. They aren’t all focused on “greening” your life. There are items for every day detox, eliminating social as well as physical poisons. There are tips to avoid productivity drainers, tips on meditating, organizing, and simplifying your life. Here’s a sample:
Purifying Your Environment
This list features different ways that you can purify your environment and ensure that your home, office and commute are free of all kinds of pollutants.
- Drive an eco-friendly car: An electric car is good for the environment and your health, since you won’t have to breathe in toxic fumes at the gas station.
- Walk or bike to work: Another way to prevent inhalation of gas fumes is to walk or bike to work, if you can find a route that doesn’t involve riding behind other gas guzzling vehicles.
- Grow a garden: Grow your own vegetables to cut back on pesticides and environmentally harmful packaging and delivery methods.
- Make your own household cleaning products: There are a lot of recipes online for concocting your own supply of household cleaning products, free of dangerous chemicals and chlorine.
- Composting: Recycle your waste and feed your garden by composting.
- Keep plants indoors: Having plants indoors increases oxygen production and zaps up extra carbon dioxide, purifying your air.
- Aromatherapy: Natural aromatherapy can be a great help to simple ailments and colds, and it’s also a good stress reliever.
- Throw away pet waste: Clean out the cat’s litter box and pick up after your dog, even in the backyard, to prevent the spread of bacteria that can make you and your family sick.
- Air quality: Make sure the air quality in your home or office is healthy by ventilating the rooms, changing out your air filters and using natural home furnishings and carpet.
- Sustainability: Sustainable living is an ethical and practical way to live, as it saves you money on energy costs and is good for the environment. Get tips for living a sustainable, poison-free lifestyle here.
Of course, some things are easier said than done, like “de-stress at work” and “eliminate distractions.” There are no earth shattering pronouncements here. Nothing that will catch you by surprise. This simply is a handy little list with tips on living better for those of us that enjoy lists.
Which is me.
And maybe you.

Great article and find Gabrielle!
Really cool that they could come up with a list of 101 things.. that hurts my brain how they could think up that much!
Not sure if this is on the list but I find that expressing yourself and talking to others is important. If you keep something bottled up inside, it will eat away at you and have a negative effect on your attitude and stress level. You can rest easier knowing someone else is aware of what’s going on in your life.
