Spring Cleaning for Your Health: Detox Your Kitchen with Chef E
Hey friends, Chef E here! Spring isn’t just for decluttering closets and dusting shelves—it’s also the perfect time to give your health a fresh reset. While tidying up our homes may be top of mind, we often overlook the hidden toxins lurking in our kitchens that could be impacting our well-being. From pesticides in produce and water to hormone-disrupting chemicals hiding in plastic containers and cookware, everyday toxins can sneak into our lives and slowly chip away at our health. But here’s the good news: small swaps make a BIG difference!
3 Simple Ways to Detox Your Home & Kitchen This Spring:
1. Ditch Plastic for Glass
Say goodbye to plastic containers that leach chemicals like BPA and phthalates into your food. Switch to glass storage containers for safer, cleaner meal prep and leftovers.
2. Upgrade Your Cooking Fats
Let’s talk oils. Highly processed seed oils (like canola, corn, and soybean oil) are inflammatory and can wreak havoc on your body. Swap them out for traditional fats like pasture-raised tallow, lard, butter, or for cold dishes, extra virgin olive oil. Your heart (and taste buds) will thank you!
3. Focus on Foundational Foods
Forget the flashy packaged health foods. Nature knows best! Opt for real, nutrient-dense foods like regeneratively raised meats, animal-based fats, fresh fruits and veggies, high-quality dairy, and homemade bone broth. These are the building blocks of vibrant health.
At New Leaf Table, we keep these foundational foods at the core of every meal plan we create—making it easier for you to nourish your family with confidence.
