Organic is truly the way to go!

Consuming fresh fruit and vegetables is the best way to obtain daily nutrients, but the pesticides used on our produce remain a major health concern. By choosing organic foods, you can obtain the health benefits of fruits and vegetables without exposing yourself to potentially harmful chemicals.

Be sure you purchase only organic varieties of the produce listed below. According to the Environmental Working Group (click on the link to learn more), common growing practices make these crops the most likely to contain pesticide residue:

Apples
Bell Peppers
Celery
Cherries
Imported Grapes
Nectarines
Peaches
Pears
Potatoes
Raspberries
Spinach
Strawberries

Or even better yet, grow your own produce and connect with Mother Earth!

Build a Better Body

Even if you do just some simple stretches in the morning and again in the evening, or make an effort to walk 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes after dinner. 30 minutes per day is all you need to build a better, more efficient body!

It's just like the 2008 Cadillac CTS commercial featuring Kate Walsh: "The real question is . . . when you turn your car on, does it return the favor?" I want my body to do what I want, when I want and without pain. I stay in shape so that when I am demanding performance from my body, it will return the favor!!

Get that beautiful body of yours moving!!
