TH ASKS: What do you do on a daily basis that impacts both your health and the environment?
JILLIAN ANSWERS: I have gone off the deep end on this. I find that when one has the knowledge and the means they have a responsibility to make the ethical choice. With regard to my diet, I always go organic. I shop at local farmers’ markets whenever possible. I have given up all animal products except for fish that has been ethically fished like ocean caught salmon, farmed arctic char, farmed trout, pacific cod, tilapia, crab, shrimp, and farmed oysters. I use all natural beauty products like Olive Oil, brown sugar for scrubs, avocado and ethical organic brands. My cleaning products are all green - and got rid of paper towels almost entirely and use rags instead. I use a Kangen Water filter for drinking water and put in stainless steel canteens- never bottled water.
TH ASKS: Organic v/s conventional foods: what's your three biggest reasons to get people to switch? JILLIAN ANSWERS: Number one - Health personal. Conventional foods are loaded with so many different forms of poison - everything from hormones, trans-fats, preservatives, artificial flavors & colorings, HFC and pesticides. These things WILL kill you. They cause cancer, cognitive dysfunction, heart disease and a host of other really crappy diseases. I don't know about you, but I would rather invest another $25 a week on healthy groceries and save the thousands on chemo down the road. I am not being dramatic either. In the last year I know 4 people 40 years of age and under that have been diagnosed with cancer. 2 breast cancer, 1 thyroid, 1 ovarian.
Number two – Healthy Environment. Bottom line is that when you jack up the environment you jack up your own health. When the air is messed up you get sick. When the water is messed up you get sick. When the planet is too hot and we have all sorts of climate disasters, we are the ones that pay the price. Of course, I could sit here and lecture you about how unethical it is to make all the other species on the planet suffer because we are greedy selfish gluttonous consumers, but why bother. We are a narcissistic species and ultimately WE will be suffering the consequences of our actions.
Number three - Economics. When you go organic ultimately you are saving a fortune. Think about this statistic - every dollar you invest in preventative measures will save you $80 down the road in healthcare treatment costs for disease. You can save a fortune on bottled water by using a filter for your tap (such as Kangen Water machines). You can save a fortune on expensive beauty and cleaning supplies by using natural products like olive oil for moisturizer or white vinegar to clean (or again the water from Kangen works for beauty and cleaning on it's own).
TH ASKS: Being a celebrity and having such an impact on so many of your viewers/listeners/readers/
fans, what do you think is the number one way you can help inspire others to be more environmentally conscious?JILLIAN ANSWERS: Leading by example.
Even Jillian understands that your water has a big impact on your life, beleiving in the statement "Change Your Water, Change You Life". With Kangen Water machines, Jillian gets the drinking water she needs to stay healthy and fit. She saves money on bottles, cleaning supplies, and even beauty products. We love to follow Jillian's advice to "Lead by example", so we at Hooked On Kangen are always willing to share water with you and show you how we use it just like her and even more ways too.
If Jillian can do it, you can too! But we promise not to yell as much at you, and to always smell better.
