My goal through doing this blog is to support those who are going through life changes. I love to educate and share what I know. What has worked for me and what hasn't. I believe that we are in control of our health and that it is our responsibility to take care of what we are given.

We only have one body. If you were given only one car for your lifetime, you would treat it like gold. How about your body?

Toxic Veggies

Labels:

Did you know that the following are the most highly sprayed fruits and vegetables?


Strawberries
Bell peppers (green and red)
Spinach (tied with number 2)
Cherries (grown in the United States)
Peaches (grown in Chile)
Cantaloupe (grown in Mexico)
Celery
Apples
Apricots
Green beans
Grapes
Cucumbers

If you are choosing to go organic, I would start with the top of this list. Things like avocadoes, bananas and other thick skinned fruits and vegetables tend to be lower on the list. This is good to keep in mind if you are on a budget and want to get the most bang for your buck.

Bananas are thicked skinned but also very porous, making for a very toxic flesh when the pesticides are absorbed. You should buy only certified organically-grown bananas.

There are also many ethical reasons for chosing organic and fair trade bananas as with many other "fair trade" items.
