You have three options when it comes to the choice of the toilet paper for your washroom. You can go with the hardwood virgin pulp tree toilet paper, the recycled toilet paper, or the bamboo toilet paper. The best option among the three is the bamboo toilet paper. Here are reasons why it is the best among the three. 

 It is stronger, softer, and cooler

The natural properties of the bamboo make its paper stronger than the paper derived from hardwood. It is also as strong as the soft steel. In addition, the bamboo paper is softer and cooler to touch. This makes it convenient for use in the washroom. When you combine the three properties, you get a toilet paper that surpasses all the other two regarding quality and user experience.

Cuts down deforestation

Both the recycled paper and the hardwood paper have their origins from trees that take a considerable amount of time to grow. However, bamboo toilet paper is derived from bamboo forests. The bamboo forests grow over 30 times faster than conventional trees.   Bamboo is a grass that does not require you to replant it after the harvesting. This forest resource also produces up to 30 times more oxygen and absorbs over 35 times more carbon.

Safer to use than the recycled tissues

In spite of the its great effort to save the environment, the recycled tissue is made with de-inking agents, harsh chemicals such as the BPA and other substances. Therefore, it is not skin friendly and may cause a number of skin problems to sensitive skin. Bamboo paper such as WHOLEROLL, on the other hand, is odor resistant, Antifungal, antibacterial, and hypo-allergic. It is also made using a process that does not use harmful chemicals such as the B.P.A.

Biodegradable

Bamboo tissue paper is 100 percent biodegradable. It also breaks well when flushed down the toilet. There are many complaints of blockages in the sewer systems due to the use of virgin pulp paper types and wet wipes that do not fully break in the water. These tree made options often fill up the treatment plants and bring challenges in the management of waste. However, the use of bamboo tissue paper rots away easily at the waste treatment plants. In addition, there are no unusable byproducts that come from the production of the bamboo tissue paper.

 Are you looking for the best tissue paper for use in your washroom or bathroom that is soft, affordable and best for the environment? Look no further than WHOLEROLL Bamboo Bathroom tissue. 

                                                                            

Do you have an animal companion at home? Your pets health is determined by the kind of food that you feed it. Gone are the days that pets used to eat leftovers from the dining table. However, when buying your pet food, consider making a switch to the organic foods. Here are reasons why.

Fewer digestive problems 

Food derived from the natural sources contains superior proteins and carbohydrates. It lacks artificial substances and chemicals, which affect the digestive tract. Some of the common gut problems from filler and artificial ingredients in food include bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation and reduced appetite. Foods that are easily digested and are nutritious are utilized in the body with more ease. Since they are made of natural ingredients, pets will eat smaller amounts of the dense foods than the non-organic category.

 Better health a strong immunity

 

Organic pet food leads to a healthier and stronger pet. Most of the conventional food types have lots of indigestible fiber and carbohydrates, which lead to obesity, stomach disorders, and poor growth of your pet. Organic foods have the right balance of nutrients and thereby provide your dog with all the required nutrients for balanced growth, immunity against diseases, healthy skin, and a vibrant pet. The food also reduces your visits to the veterinary doctor.  

Helps fight skin ailments and other allergies

 The skin coat and fur are the first signs that your pet is not in good health. If you have tried everything from dips, injections, sprays, creams, and shampoo and the pet still suffers from allergies, itching and scratching, try organic foods. Most of the times, allergies result from an ingredient or chemicals in dog food that causes reactions in the body of your pet. These chemicals and filler ingredients are not present in organic foods.

Extends the life of your pet

One of the major reasons why you should make a switch to the organic foods is that it can result to a longer life span for the pet. It also increases the quality of life for the pet. With good health and better weight management, your pet lives happy and long.

There are no filler ingredients

The organic foods do not contain any type of preservatives, fillers, or gluten. This makes the food not only nutritious but also better tasting. There are no animal byproducts in the food but rather natural ingredients like eggs, fish, and chicken.

 Buy organic food for your pet the next time you go shopping and you will experience and can have a longer, more productive and healthier relationship with it. 

Thousands of years ago before man started growing cereals, humans hunted animals and gathered roots and fruits for their food. This is what is now considered as the Paleo diet. Was the diet better than we take today? Can the diet provide for the nutritional needs of the modern man? Here are some highlights of the caveman diet.

The Paleo diet  advocates the same foods that were taken by the hunting and gathering ancestors. It involves meats, fruits, seafood, meats, and vegetables. The diet lowers the body’s glycemic load and has a healthy ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids. Moreover, it increases the nutrient and vitamin consumption. Health experts have found that this diet also contains an optimal balance of carbohydrates, fat, and proteins.

 Was the diet healthier?  

While some of the health benefits of the Paleo diet are unproven, several benefits can be derived from the diet. The ancestors did not have as many chronic diseases as we do today even if part of benefits came from the lifestyle they led. One of the problems that the modern population has is obesity. It has developed from a high intake of salty and fatty foods as well as excess carbohydrates. The ancestors took in food that was low in fat (they ate lean meat), did not take processed salt and cereals at all. The physical exercise that is involved in the hunting and gathering also contributed to low weight gain. 

In essence, the diet was healthy in many aspects. However, today it is required we take in additional supplementation from dairy products, and carbohydrates to take care of the modern man’s energy needs that are disproportionate to the Stone Age Period. So what are the benefits to eating like the cavemen. Lets analyze the Paleo diet.

The benefits of the Paleo diet

When on the Paleo diet, you eat are eating food that is natural unprocessed without any additive and preservatives. The more you take in whole foods, the lesser the body craves for sugared and salted foods.

Part of the Paleo diet involves an exercise regimen. This further enhances your health.

Inflammation is usually caused by the damaged gut lining. It causes some autoimmune diseases and allergies. The Paleo diet deals with the major causes of inflammation namely alcohol, sugar, and gluten.

The Paleo diet increases the intake of healthy fats and proteins. These foods help you stay satisfied for long. In the end, you eat less, and you do not feel deprived.

So did the cavemen have a much healthier diet than we do today. Perhaps they did. They ate from the earth which is the most wholesome and healthy way for your body to get all the nutrients that it needs. In this instance we just might need to regress and live as the cavemen did.

 It is sad that your favorite piece of clothing is going to get old and become unwearable. You might also outgrow the clothing. Rather than throw it in the garbage bin, you can give it a new lease of life by reusing and repurposing the old clothing. Most of the clothing materials retain the good qualities that make them good enough for wearing or for other purposes. Here are five ways you can upcycle, reuse and repurpose those old garments.

Make a grocery bag

 A strong shirt can make a great shopping basket.  It only needs a few snips and stitches, and you are good to go. Start by cutting off the sleeves and the collar of the t-shirt. Make a hem at the bottom and draw out the shape of your bag. Stitch around the sides and the bottom of the bag. Cut slits on the side of the bag and make a large slit at the top for the handle.

Altering your shirts to another type of the shirts

 You can transform a collared shirt into something else and keep wearing it. For example, you can cut off the collar of the beau’s shrunken polo and sew it to create a feminine shirt. You can also repurpose the shirts to make different tops and camisoles.

 Make pillows

The old clothing can be recycled as pillow fillings and repurposed to pillow casings. The wooly sweaters make good pillow casing material for your sofa pillows and even outside couches. You can embroider the pillows with buttons from other clothing and make superb cuddly pillows for daily use.   

Make beautiful rugs

Your worn-out jeans and clothing made of tough material can make great denim rugs for use in your living room. You can cut different sizes and shapes of the rugs from the materials depending on the size of the clothing and the desired shape. For the woolen materials, you can use them as mops in your corridors and the kitchen.

Make a scarf

Do you love the message and the graphics of your old t-shirt? If so, retain the message and graphics by creating a scarf.  You will cut the T-shirt on one of the seams and the cut a scarf on the entire length of the T-shirt. You can sew up more than one T-shirt to make a long repurposed scarf.

Do you have old clothes at home? Do not throw them away. Recycle them.

Most of the carbohydrate intake nowadays comes from grains such as maize, wheat, and barley. However, these cereals also contain a few problematic proteins such as gluten and Amylase Trypsin Inhibitors. The problem proteins cause a number of the gut and autoimmune conditions that affect your overall health. Here are five of such demerits.

Autoimmune reactions to gluten

The most popular problem is the autoimmune reaction that is caused by gluten intolerance. This condition is called celiac disease.  Health experts claim that 30 to 40 percent of the human population has the potential to get celiac diseases. However, only less than 3 percent develop the condition. Even for those that do not have the condition, there are a lot of other gluten sensitivities that affect your general wellbeing. The sensitivities are called non-celiac gluten sensitivities

Gut inflammation

Inflammation is the body’s response to irritation or injury. The inflammation you get in the gut is similar to the reaction of your skin when an object cuts you. The surrounding part of the area gets red, swollen, and tender.  Gluten is a gut irritant.  You get inflamed when the body reacts against the irritation causing you to feel very uncomfortable. Inflammation also causes a host of other problems.

Damages the gut biome  

The gut contains several varieties of bacteria. The bacteria helps in digestion, regulation of the immune system, synthesis of nutrients such as the K2 and send fullness and hunger signals to the brain. Gluten leads to a lower number of gut bacteria populations. This causes inability to synthesize certain nutrients and feeding problems among the affected. Moreover, it also causes increased inflammation and predisposes you to problems like gastric gas problems, indigestion, and flatulence. 

Brain fog

Gluten does not only affect the gut, but it also affects the functioning of the brain. People who take high amounts of gluten suffer from fatigue and brain fog. It has also been found that gluten increases vulnerability to dementia and Alzheimer’s diseases. Other factors that come into play leading to the progression of the condition. 

Skin problems

Gluten is known to cause a number of skin diseases such as dermatitis herpetiformis. This skin disease is characterized by red rash, itchiness and raised blisters. The condition show symptoms to those most in the mid-20s. It is aggravated by people with celiac disease. Non-celiac gluten sensitivity leads to a skin condition that is similar to psoriasis and eczema.

Do want to live free of the above conditions? Get rid of gluten by taking grains such as quinoa, cassava flour, and gluten-free pastries and live a symptom free life.

Keeping fit does not need to be tied to the gym especially if you want the rest of your family to benefit from the exercises you are engaging in. With most people spending more time at work or school than they do at home, the focus on families today should be about investing more quality time whenever it is available. Getting actively involved in the outdoors as a family can be a great way of interacting as well as engaging in fun activities.  While the bulk of outdoor activities that double as exercises can be costly because of the planning, traveling, and training involved, there are some cheap alternatives that are just as fun;

Participate in charity races

The best lessons in life are those that only a demonstration can teach. There are many charity organizations that promote a worthy cause but need the support of the public and well-wishers to stay operational. Some of the common ways that such organizations raise funds is through walks and runs. There is no pressure to win in such events and the simple act of buying branded gear and being present is enough achievement for an event’s participant and the beneficiaries.

Grow something in the kitchen garden

As soon as they learn to move on their own, kids enjoy digging up dirt and soiling their hands. Why not harness this affinity into something useful? By teaching them how to grow food from dirt, they will grow up appreciating the value of hard work. Most importantly, gardening is a good exercise for weight training and is, therefore, a cheap way of keeping off weight-related illnesses. Apart from digging up the soil, your whole family can participate in weeding and pruning plants.

Take the dog for a walk

Do you have a dog? Dogs need to get out of the house on a regular basis to exercise their muscles as well as relieve themselves. Create a family routine around your pet’s by making sure you take your spouse and children as well as your dog out on a walk every day. Apart from it being a nice way to interact with the neighborhoods, such walks make for rewarding family memories. If you do not have a dog, your walk can be done routinely before dinner just to freshen up and stretch out.


Too often, people worry about it being too cold or too hot to go outside; luckily, there are outdoor activities such as ice skating that are fun to participate in during winter and swimming which is so irresistible during summer. Getting outdoors and exercising is a great activity for the entire family that will not only create a family bond, but will also provide long term health benefits for all. 

When was the last time you went to a festival and saw trash as far as your eyes could see. Well that trash has to go somewhere. Industrial waste, in most people’s eyes, is the major reason behind the widespread and often toxic environmental pollution.  Even though they are right in their assumption, there’s one thing that they don’t realize. They don’t realize the fact that the industrial waste comes mostly from the production of our day-to-day products and the disposal of our daily waste.

It will be too late to save our future generations from being affected by the selfish practices of the current and previous generations if we do not invest in proper mechanisms and processes to minimize the harm we are causing to the environment now through the excessive use of packaged products. Recycling can help us break down a substantial portion of our waste into their original elements. New materials can then be produced with these elements.

By doing this, we can conserve raw materials and reduce the harmful waste we discard into the environment i.e. through pollution. Besides the environmental reasons for recycling, there are also other reasons why recycling is important.

Recycling conserves resources, saves money, creates jobs, and generates revenue. As a result, it helps in contributing to the economy. Since you’re helping your country save and reduce dependence on other countries for raw materials, recycling also becomes a form of patriotism.

In addition to the patriotic reasons, recycling is important for ethical reasons as well. As previously stated, there will be no resources left for future generations if we do not conserve our resources and recycle now. Our future generations will end up paying the hefty price for the damage we cause to the environment. We therefore have the responsibility to embrace sustainability and begin developing a daily mindset to be the greatest investor of the next generations future by recycling.
