Humans from the Paleolithic Age wouldn’t recognize our homes as caves. But they are. And you should be focused on keeping them as Paleo as they did. Start by ensuring that the water that’s coming into your home is free-from post-Paleo contaminants like pesticides, heavy metals and organic toxins like nitrate fertilizer runoff. Install a filter on your kitchen faucet and make sure your refrigerator’s drinking water is filtered. Or even better, have a reverse osmosis water filter installed under your sink and enjoy the purest water you can drink.
Use air conditioning? Check the filters regularly and replace them when they are dirty or have mold. Open your windows on non-air conditioning and non-heating days. It’s better for your family . . . and the planet. And when you use your washer and dryer, use only Free n Clear detergent (every brand has it). And don’t use toxic fabric softener and dryer sheets. To keep your clothes smelling great just put a drop or two of an essential oil like vanilla on a piece of cloth that goes in the dryer with your clothes. They’ll come out smelling great. Use all natural air fresheners, or better yet, don’t use them at all. And clean your house with all natural glass, floor and bathroom cleaners. Frequent sweeping keeps the need to deep clean at a minimum. Going for a swim in the pool? Chlorinated pools and Paleo don’t mix. Install a salt cell, and your new salt-water pool will be just as safe, and your skin and eyes will love the change.
Make sure your cave has a good supply of lean meats, chicken, fish, veggies, fruits, nuts and berries in case of an emergency –like unexpected guests, or a sudden need to binge. Your refrigerator is your best Paleo partner, and one of the big differences between our caves and the ones of yore. And refrigerators and freezers are also where you store your MUD, the vanilla and chocolate chilled mousse dessert that has the same Superfood our Paleo ancestors began storing in their caves over two million years ago.
