🥕 Seasonal Healing Food: Carrots
Carrots are in season right now, making them a perfect autumn food to add to your meals. They’re rich in beta-carotene, which your body converts into Vitamin A to support immunity, skin repair, and vision.
They’re also packed with antioxidants to protect your cells as the seasons change- and unlike many root vegetables, carrots are naturally low GI, so they won’t send your blood sugar on a rollercoaster.
For the biggest benefits, choose home-grown or organic carrots whenever possible. If you’re buying non-organic, make sure to scrub or peel the skins well, since root vegetables can absorb pesticide residues from the soil.
Enjoy them roasted in butter or ghee- healthy fats help your body absorb more of the carotenoids, so you get the maximum healing power from every bite.
🔄 This Week's Smart Swap: Conventional Laundry Detergent ➝ Fragrance-free & Eco-friendly
❌ Most cheap laundry detergents are loaded with artificial fragrances, optical brighteners, and harsh chemicals. These can act as hormone disruptors- meaning they interfere with your body’s natural balance.
The residues stay on your clothes, touching your skin 24/7, and can trigger irritation, hormone imbalance, and even gut disruption over time.
🌿 Benefits of Switching to Clean Laundry Detergent
Gentle on Skin – no harsh residues, perfect for sensitive skin or eczema-prone families.
Supports Hormone Balance – free from endocrine disruptors that can interfere with energy, mood, and metabolism.
Cleaner Air at Home – no artificial fragrances or VOCs that linger in the air and irritate lungs.
Better for Gut & Immune Health – avoids hidden chemicals that can be absorbed through skin and disrupt your microbiome.
Eco-Friendly – biodegradable ingredients that protect waterways and the planet.
Peace of Mind – knowing your clothes are truly clean, fresh, and safe for your whole family.
I’ve been using ECOVER for several years now, and it’s never triggered my sensitivities, asthma, or itchy skin. It could be a great option to try out for your family too.
