A few years ago, I discovered what chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and plastics are doing to our health.

That was when I made a conscious choice and firstly adopted all things only organic for me and my family. Whatever we eat has to be organic because what we are putting into our bodies these days is the leading cause of all our auto-immune diseases like Cancer, Diabetes, Thyroid, etc.

The second is removing single-use plastic from our everyday lives - the use of which I have tried to make as minimal as possible. Plastics is not just really bad for the environment, it is also really bad for our health. Microplastics have now been found in our food, water, the air we breathe, and even in the placenta of unborn children. Research suggests that this leads to civilization-wide fertility problems and much more.

Another very personal but huge change was when I was introduced to menstrual cups. Commercial sanitary napkins are 90% plastic. They cause itching, rashes, and infections in women very frequently, and take 500 years to disintegrate. Making the change to menstrual cups was the biggest lifestyle change I made, of which I am a big evangelist.

These three major lifestyle changes are the ways in which I have started living a sustainable life. All of us can make big and small changes in our lives to lead a healthier life – because what is healthy for us is also healthy for the planet.
