I hope everyone had a very green Earth Day! Did anyone make any new green-olutions that they'd like to share? I was disappointed that I couldn't be home to watch all the great "green" shows on Discovery and HGTV, but I did get them recorded so I could watch them later and share some tips with you.
I want to start with one tip that I find helpful when trying to eat organic. It gets so overwhelming when trying to find organic food products and produce. I often feel guilty for eating something that isn't organic... or worse, feeding it to Eliana! I was watching the Earth Day episode of Get Fresh with Sara Snow "Top Earth Tips." There was a doctor on there talking about the pesticides and fertilizers in non-organic produce being linked to cancer, ADHD, and other illnesses in adults and children. His wife had cancer and started eating organically and detoxed and got better!
The doctor suggested trying to eat organic whenever possible. At the very least, he gave a top 12 list that you should always eat organic:
- Peaches
- Strawberries
- Apples
- Spinach
- Nectarines
- Celery
- Pears
- Cherries
- Potatoes
- Bell Peppers
- Raspberries
- Grapes
