Pesticides you do not see it but they are there and you are eating it!!! YUCK!!!!

Dangers of pesticides?

• increases estrogen levels in the body increasing cancer risks, hormone imbalance and much more.
• The chemicals/toxins are neurotoxins----so usually hide in our fat (more fat you have the more toxins you are carrying around)
• reacts with our central nervous system
• Has led to Parkinsons diseasen and prostate tumors.
• We are not getting all of our nutrients because of all the pesticides/waxes/additives our food has.

How to reduce my risks?

• Eat organicically
• choose your local farm (if can depending on location) verse supermarket food (we go through Babe farms and get a box of veggies every 2 weeks for $24 and it lasts us, some of veggies are organic/natural some are not)We also head to farmers markets to pick up some fruits and raw honey.
• wash your fruits and veggies at all times even if it says washed
• stay away from canned, processed, already made food items
• cook and eat fresh (saves money, makes you an adventurous cook, you will be more healthy and reach your goals)
• Veggies, fruits and whole grains before anything else (processed etc.)
• Try to eat organic meat and fish----or decrease consumption and choose soy products or other protein sources for consumption (also eliminates the consumption of hormones/antiobiotics/food additives/dyes, nitrates/nitrites, bht, fat etc.)

Recipes to wash?

• We now use SunSmile it was $5 you can get it online (we purchased it from the health and fitness expo in La) We mix 1 capfull of sunsmile in 1 gallon water. It is unbelievable how the veggies come out looking----as if they were blanched for 2 minutes!! What a difference and the water after we are done is dirty looking----this stuff works!!!
• You can also rinse in Vinegar (apple cider or white) Use huge salad bowl or pot fill with water, put 1/2 cup vinegar inside and let soak as many veggies/fruits you can fit in there for 10-15 minutes, rinse, lightly dry and freeze (for later use) or refrigerate (for quick use like next 1-3 days)
• In spray bottle add 1tbs white vinegar/apple cider, 1 tbs lemon juice to 1-2c spray bottle----spray on veggies leave on for minimum 5 min -15 min rinse and use!!!
• When make salads and have vinegar as base anyway ---make salad pour 1 c vinegar and 1 cup H20 let sit 10 min, rinse with H20 and add rest of homemade dressing if desired.
• Buy brush to scrub veggies/fruits when possible------ESPECIALLY strawberries
