In every Wellth-e supplement you’ll find 2 actionable lists:
Life is Short because, well, it is! Who has time to overthink, fuss or spiral into analysis-paralysis? If you’re the sort who mostly does the right thing, realizes that you can do everything perfectly and still be hit by an asteroid so who cares anyway, or are just having one of those f-it days, this list is for you.
OCD (Optimal, Comprehensive, Deep) is for you if have plenty of hired help, want to annoy your in-laws and other pesky family members, like scavenger hunts, still don’t have a date for any of your free nights, and/or your cat wants you to get a life. You’re welcome.
This week we’re starting where plastics creep in the most: your kitchen and home.
Life is Short (Do These First)
- Water Treatment →
- Option A: Boil water (especially hard water — reduces nanoplastics by up to ~90%).
- Option B: Invest in a distillation unit (e.g., Megahome countertop with glass collector) for daily drinking water.
- Baseline rule: Never store treated water in plastic jugs.
- Cutting Boards →
- Replace plastic (HDPE/PP) with 1 bamboo (18×12″) + 1 medium (12×8″).
- For larger households: add a second medium board.
- Food Storage Containers →
- Swap plastic tubs for 3–5 borosilicate glass containers with silicone-seal lids (OXO, Pyrex).
- Keep old plastic only for dry pantry storage (crackers, rice).
- Cookware & Utensils →
- Replace scratched nonstick pans with stainless steel sauté (10–12″) + cast iron skillet (10″).
- Upgrade utensils: silicone or stainless → no nylon/melamine.
- Air & Dust Control →
- Vacuum weekly with a sealed HEPA filter unit (Dyson, Miele, Shark).
- Avoid sweeping, which re-suspends microplastic fibers. Always empty vacuum outdoors.
These five cover the highest daily exposure points: what you drink, what you cook on, what you store food in, and what you breathe.
Behavior hack for this week: If it’s hot, acidic, or oily — it should never touch plastic. That one rule alone cuts your daily exposure by more than half.
Want the OCD List? That’s where we get into drawer liners, bathroom swaps, water distillers, air filters, and even aerosolized plastic dust. Let’s go!!!
