Clean Drinking & Eating

BPA is all over the news lately. BPA stands for Bisphenol A and it is widely used in plastic products. BPA can leach from the plastics that we use and into our water or food. There are great links that it can cause cancer by disrupting our hormones.

Small easy steps towards being proactive with your drinking:

I now carry around stainless steel water bottles. Stainless steel seems like on the most durable and cleanest options. I love Klean Kanteen. It's the furthest water bottle to the right. It's large so I can easily keep track of how much water I drink at my work at it helps me to be green.

Glass is probably the cleanest but not necessarily the most durable when it comes to water bottles. I usually keep my green drinks in glass jars if I have left overs or when I take it to work.

Aluminum is a good alternative but it's also been known to be linked to other potential health concerns. I have a few and Sigg is a popular brand. I like it because it's lighter so I usually use it on the weekends when I stick it in my purse.

Clean eating options are just as easy:

If I choose to purchase frozen meals, which I rarely do, I stick it on a plate before sticking it preferably in an oven or a microwave. Amy's have changed their containers from plastic to a type of paper.

I purchased Pyrex or you can find equivalent ones to it if they are glass. I love them because you can oven, microwave or freeze them.

Do I still drink out of a plastic water bottle? Yes. Do I still use sandwich bags? Yes. I stick to my stainless steel and glass for the majority of time. Life is about balance and doing what you can do without feeling guilty.
