Reading Time: 11 minutes
How to Be Healthy Our Favorite Products for Our Home Mama Z

Learning how to be healthy starts with knowing which non-toxic swaps to get and how to DIY products to save you the most money!

Giving your home a toxic-free “makeover” to support a new lifestyle learning how to be healthy can seem daunting at first, but it shouldn’t be. Once you get started, you’ll quickly discover that:

  • You need to replace many of the staple pantry items considered unsafe, like white, bleached sugar, and flour.
  • Then, you’ll notice that you need new kitchen gadgets to prepare all those fresh ingredients and DIY projects on your to-do list.
  • You start to think about other healthy product recommendations like body care, household cleaners, laundry products, and all kinds of stuff!

We get a lot of questions about where to find the ingredients and products we mention in our blog posts and recipes, and this post includes an exhaustive list of everything that we personally use in our home.

Just a heads-up that we our updated our Amazon Creator’s Store with all of our favorite non-toxic & low-tox swaps, and you’ll find ALL of the links below there and MORE!

Our prayer is that by sharing our experience and this list of our favorite products, you’ll be inspired and encouraged on your own journey to the abundant life.

Much Love,

~ Dr. Z & Mama Z
