What To Buy When The Store Doesn't Carry Organic Produce

Sometimes my local grocery store doesn't have organic produce, or what is there looks bad. I picked up a list of fruits and vegetables that are most contaminated and some that are the least contaminated. I got the list from the Stanford Cancer Center.

Most Commonly Contaminated With Pesticides:
Peaches, Strawberries, Apples, Nectarines, Spinach, Celery, Potatoes, Bell Peppers, Pears, Cherries, Raspberries, imported grapes

Least Contaminated:
Avocados, Corn, Onions, Asparagus, Cauliflower, Peas(sweet), Bananas, Kiwi, Mango, Papaya, Pineapple, Broccoli

Following are the recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables:
5-9 servings per day = goal
1/2 cup fruit or vegetable
1 cup raw leafy greens
1/4 cup dried fruit or vegetable
6 fluid ounces of fruit or vegetable juice

Another subject: Find out about the Bodylastics exercise system. They have 140 of the best exercises to produce fast results. No fancy equipment or gym memberships are required. For less than $40 you can get a compact gym and watch on their video how to do the exercises for a whole year. You can even travel with your own gym. Find out more at the following link:
