Have you noticed an increase in energy since starting this detox? I’ve noticed that I feel a lot more energy and my skin is brighter and the whites of my eyes are very white and bright! This is definitely healthy signs of a successful detox program.
I wanted to share a great resource with you. Here is a nice resource that you can print off and carry with you as you do your produce shopping at the grocery store:

This list of fruits and vegetables is eye opening! The produce that have the highest level of pesticides, which they call the “Dirty Dozen” includes: peaches, apples, sweet bell peppers, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, pears, imported grapes, spinach, lettuce and potatoes. You should always try to purchase the organically grown option when it comes to these foods.
On the other hand, their “Clean 15” list is made up of conventional produce grown with the least amount of pesticides. The list include: onions, avocados, sweet corn, pineapples, mangos, sweet peas, asparagus, kiwi, cabbage, eggplant, cantaloupe, watermelon, grapefruit, sweet potato, honeydew melon.
Keep eating well! Your body is thanking you!
