“Living Life Against The Grain” is all about questioning what we do as humans and taking inventory of what we are eating and what products we are using and how it is affecting our health. We want to share with you all the research and tips we have learned, as well as recipes we have created or adapted… all to bring awareness to the fact that commercialism may be getting the better of our health, and thus, our lives… and how we can do better.
The products and foods available to us are often full of potentially toxic ingredients. Did you know that the ingredients in personal care products are not well regulated? It’s time to learn what ingredients are in the products we all use and what those ingredients are doing to us.
In addition to learning the ingredients in the products and foods we consume, you might discover that your diet also needs to change. You might decide to go Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Paleo and/or Sugar-Free! We will share recipes that we have created or adapted that fit this lifestyle. Let’s take this journey together!
Another avenue to explore involves the products we use and assume to be safe. Don’t assume anything! Your life may depend on a little investigation on your part.
