The Hemp Connection + plastic

If it's good for kitty acne, it's good for your acne too!

I recently wrote about how much more attention horses get with regards to nutrition's importance in fertility than we humans do. Since so many of my inCYST friends also seem to be cat lovers, I thought I'd share some pertinent wisdom from the feline world.

You may already know my friend Kate, whose blog http://www.moderncat.net/ is famous world-wide for its information about stylish kitty accessories.

Today Kate has posted some information about handmade pottery dishes for cats. If you've ever had a cat with acne, you've probably been told to switch from plastic dishes to clay ones. The reason for this is that acne-causeing bacteria can grow on the plastic dishes.

Humans don't do so well with plastic, either. Not only is there a risk for bacteria, but some plastics can mimic estrogens. They're not really the kind of estrogen our body likes to use, and it confuses our feedback systems to have the wrong kind of estrogen floating around the body.

As it gets warmer, and we tend to carry water bottles around to stay hydrated, we have to be aware of how we transport that water. Plastic bottles left in purses, cars, etc, are simply not a good idea. Be sure you look for a metal bottle. You can find them in most stores these days, but if you're having trouble in your area, here's one I found at amazon.com: Eco-Friendly Wide Mouth 25 oz, 750 ml Stainless Steel Sports Water Bottle — BPA Free

Now you can keep kitty healthy, yourself healthy, and by keeping all those plastics out of landfills, you are keeping our planet healthy as well. A great and easy way to celebrate Earth Month!
