Let’s talk about organic vs. conventional foods.  One thing we hear clients say is they don’t eat fruits and vegetables because they can’t afford or find organic and are afraid of the pesticides on conventional produce.  Remember science proves organic is better.  There is a higher percentage of good quality nutrients.  However, eating conventional fruits and vegetables is better than NO produce at all.  You can always add a high quality supplement if you fear your need to boost your mineral intake.  Use this recipe for a simple fruit and veggie wash so that you can feel better about eating and buying conventional produce for your families.   And YES, absolutely EAT more fruits and veggies.  

Fruit and Veggie Wash

• 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 Tablespoons vinegar
• 1 cup of water

Combine all ingredients in a spray bottle and spray your wash on all of your fruits and vegetables. Then, rinse it off. They are now ready to eat or use in cooking.
