“Do you know what’s in the products you use on your baby daily?” asks Tawna Hill, founder of Tawna Hill Baby

In these trying economic times, it’s difficult for families to decide what is important enough for them to spend that little extra money on. Keeping your home and family free from environmental toxins costs a little more, but the benefits of shielding your children from chemicals & phthalates is worth every penny.

Rising cancer rates and other illnesses have long been linked to the ever increasing amount of chemicals we are exposed to everyday. “If you have the option not to begin your child’s life by slathering them in chemicals, why wouldn’t you choose the safer path”, says Tawna Hill. “Read the labels, if you don’t know what all of the ingredients are or can’t pronounce all those chemical names, why would you put it on your baby?”

Tawna Hill is the passionate founder of Tawna Hill Baby, after being diagnosed with and successfully treated for a malignant brain tumor while pregnant with her little girl, she used her skin care industry background to create her all natural product line.

Hill says, “I am glad to see high profile celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow in her latest GOOP newsletter advocating safer family living. It helps raise awareness among young parents that spending that little bit more to protect your children, is an important investment in their future health.”

Accordingt to World Health Assembly, Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Health is one of the factor to have a healthy and happy family. To achieve this, lifestyle is one to be consider especially to the children.

Santa Cruz County (U.S.A) are in the top 10 of the high rates of obesity but when they plan the 24 point to increase an healthy eating and physical activity for children they went down to 29th in 2007. The plan was call to action, reaching out to young people, parents, doctors, educators, employees and city planners. And now, people are now aware of the problems created by being overweight and are taking steps to adress it, especially to school districts who are adopted the students on the wellness policies.
Last October 2008, the Maine Youth Overweight Collaborative developed the “5210″ were the doctors endorsed it. “5210″ stands for:

5: Eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
2: Limiting TV/video game time to two hours or less a day.
1: Participating in one or more hours of physical activity every day.
0: Eliminating soda and sugar-sweetened drinks, replacing them with water and low-fat or fat-free milk.

It is not easy to achieve this goal in an easy way but when the family are striving and willingly to change their lifestyle it will come out a happy life.
