Non-Organic Fruits and Vegetables

We all know that Organic Fruits and Organic vegetables can be very costly. Just about everyone is living on a limited budget and grocery shopping can be a chore for some. I know for me. When grocery shopping for fresh produce, I always strive to buy Organic or I will do without a certain fruit or vegetable if it not Organic. Recently I did some research and found out that there are fruits and vegetables that contain high amounts of pesticides and some that have less. The thin skinned type can easily absorb pesticides. Among them are peaches, nectarines, potatoes,celery, peas, apples, grapes, spinach, all lettuces, peppers, tomatoes, and cherries. If it posses a thin skin, you can say that it have a higher concentration of pesticides. I also did some research and found out you can reduce some residue and bacteria. Mix one half water and one half vinegar(preferably organic) in a bowl and soak the fruit or vegetable for a minute or so and rinse.
Thick skin fruit and vegetables have the least amount of pesticides. Bananas, pineapples, avocados, broccoli, cauliflower, kiwi, onions, garlic, melons, mangoes, corn, citrus fruits, and papayas which to name a few. All of these have a stronger protective barrier that allow less pesticides to penetrate. When removing pesticides from this type of produce, mix the vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution on the produce. Rub in and rinse. This rinse is also great to remove wax like on apples.

For me Organic Living is like taking baby steps. It is a choice that I have made for my health and well being. I will continue to research and take in account of what others have to say. Always remember you are never too young or too old to change for the best!

Organic Baby

Last month I became the proud grandmother of twin girls. If you are a grandmother you can't help but to run out and fill your beloved grandchildren closet with the cutest clothes. With so many outfits from the practical onesies to the fanciest attire your baby could be doing the run way in Organic wear. Organic Baby clothes are made from 100% cotton that have not been genetically altered and pesticide free. Always look for a certified organic clothing label if your serious about Organic wear for your baby.
When it comes time to nightie night or nap time your baby can rest assure with Organic Bedding. Crib sheets, mattresses, blankets are just to name a few of what you may find when considering these Organic. A baby's touch is gentle why not surround it with gentleness.

We all know that breast feeding is the best choice to feed our babies. If this is not an option for you consider an Organic Formula supplement. A wonderful healthy choice that is made without artificial colors, pesticides, or hormones. Make a healthy decision by giving your baby the best.
Why not start your baby off in this world with Organic Living? You will be investing in a future that will give your child a healthier living and one that will appreciate what Organic Living means.
