5 Tips para cuidar la salud de tus niños en el hogar/Healthy Home Tips for Parents


1.    Escoge mejores productos para los niños.Solo porque la etiqueta diga que es para pieles sensibles no quiere decir que sean productos naturales , ni que sea bueno para tus hijos.
2.    Dale a tus hijos comida orgánica y hecha en casa. Comida con menos pesticidas y que no contengan hormonas.
3.    Cuidado con las telas sintéticas que usan tus niños. Inclusive pueden ser inflamables y peligrosas para ellos.
4.    Fíjate en que tipo de plástico están bebiendo agua. Algunos plásticos contienen BPA, una sustancia asociada al cáncer. No metas en el micro los envases de plástico.


1. Choose better body care products. Just because a label says “gentle” or “natural” doesn’t mean it’s kid- safe. Look up your products on CosmeticsDatabase.com. Read the ingredients and avoid triclosan, BHA,
fragrance, and oxybenzone.
2. Go organic & eat fresh foods. Opt for organic fruits and veggies, or use FoodNews.org to find conventionally grown produce with the least pesticides. Choose milk and meat without added growth hormones. Limit canned food and infant formula, as can linings contain bisphenol A (BPA).
3. Avoid fire retardants. Choose snug-fitting cotton pajamas for kids, and repair or replace worn out foam items.
4. Pick plastics carefully. Some plastics contain BPA, which is linked to cancer. Avoid clear, hard plastic bottles marked with a “7” or “PC” and choose baby bottles made from glass or BPA-free plastic. Don’t microwave plastic containers. Stay away from toys marked with a “3” or “PVC.” Give your baby a frozen
washcloth instead of vinyl teethers.
5. Filter your tap water. Use a reverse osmosis system or carbon filter pitcher to reduce your family’s exposure to impurities in water, like chlorine and lead. Don’t drink bottled water, which isn’t necessarily
better. Mix infant formula with fluoride-free water.
