3. Scented paraffin candles

Burning paraffin releases compounds such as benzene and formaldehyde, which contribute to arterial inflammation and plaque formation in blood vessels.

Healthier choice: Use beeswax or coconut wax candles and ensure good ventilation.

2. Thermal receipt paper

Many receipts contain BPA, which is easily absorbed through the skin. Higher exposure levels have been linked to high blood pressure, insulin resistance, and abdominal fat gain.

Advice: Choose digital receipts when possible and wash hands after handling paper receipts.

1. Damaged non-stick cookware

Scratched or overheated non-stick pans release “forever chemicals” that accumulate in the body for years. These substances have been linked to thyroid disorders, liver damage, and certain cancers.

Best practice: Replace damaged cookware. Stainless steel, cast iron, or ceramic are safer long-term options.
