What You Eat is Either Hurting You or Healing You<\/strong><\/p>\n

Foods to Avoid: <\/strong>Gluten, sugar, dairy, tap water, fast food, artificial or processed anything, alcohol, EWG\u2019s \u2018Dirty dozen\u2019 produce. HUH?!?\u00a0 What the hell CAN we eat??<\/p>\n

Choose organic from the Environmental Working Group\u2019s (EWG\u2019s) \u2018Dirty Dozen\u2019 list, and when organic is not an option, opt for foods from the EWG\u2019s \u2018Clean Fifteen\u2019 list of conventional fruits and vegetables that are relatively low in pesticides. In 2021, more than 90 percent of produce sampled tested positive for two or more pesticides and revealed that leafy greens are among the most contaminated produce. A single sample of conventional kale, collard greens, and mustard greens was found to contain 20 different pesticides. EWG.org<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Focus on plant-based, whole foods as much as possible.<\/li>\n
        • When eating meat, choose Grass-Fed\/Finished meat over feedlot grain-fed beef whenever possible.<\/li>\n
        • Find a powdered blend of superfoods for an easy way to get your greens. Buyer beware \u2013 most greens products contain cereal grasses and certain proteins that can cause inflammation and digestive issues. My kids\u2019 favorite brand is PaleoValley Organic Supergreens.<\/li>\n
