Last week I was fortunate to be invited to join\u00a0the event ‘How to live a healthy life’ organised for Esteller and Nalgene. And when you are called to attend an event at Soho House Barcelona you know it’s going to be good!!<\/p>\n

The aim of the meeting was to raise awareness about the use of plastic, the environment impact but also a matter of health issues.<\/p>\n

The location was ideal, elegant and cosy, an intimacy atmosphere hard to overcome. The speakers explain very clearly why we should drink water, why we should limit the plastic consumption, the dangerous of BPA (bisphenol A) and why we should think beyond the actual food.<\/p>\n

The talked started with Xavier Esteller reporting the irresponsible used of plastics. How we are not\u00a0aware of the environment impact\u00a0and that just because we don’t see plastics in our waters doesn’t mean\u00a0they don’t exist. One of his missions is to raise awareness, ‘450 years are needed to decompose a plastic bottle’, ‘using a Nalgene bottle for a whole year, you will be saving an average of 167 disposal plastic bottles’.<\/p>\n

Millions of kilos of plastic waste end up on the seas, these became the food of fishes and sea animals, and we eat them, and because those plastics don’t decompose, it means we eat plastic. He emphasized about the difficulty of changing habits, but that thanks to firms like Nalgene (BPA free reusable water bottles and containers), a little bit of effort and conscience we can do it!<\/p>\n

NOT ONLY THE FOOD IS IMPORTANT<\/h4>\n

Are you one of those who take care of what you eat? Are you conscience of where you food come from?<\/p>\n

We are experiencing an increase of awareness about\u00a0the quality of our food. More and more people is looking for natural and real food.\u00a0The consumption of organic products have quickly increased in the\u00a0past years and look it’s keeping\u00a0that way.<\/p>\n

More of us are reading labels and checking origins. We want organic, grass feed, natural growth,\u00a0kindly manufactured and local food. We give up processed food, refined sugars and flours and we don’t like E- in our food<\/p>\n

But what happen when we put that beautiful and delicious food in containers\u00a0with BPA and other toxics?\u00a0The food become toxic as well. The toxics and BPA found in the plastics containers dissolve in the food when we reuse or heat them. As Astrid Barqu\u00e9 pointed out, ‘we not only should watch the quality of our food, but also the quality of our containers and the conservation methods’, ‘the danger is not direct, but is in long term’.<\/p>\n

The best way to avoid contamination<\/strong> is:<\/p>\n
