❖Therapeutic Self Care ❖Holistic Health Tips ❖Celebrity Health & Wellness Edition Juicing is a great way to receive adequate nutrients into the body system to boost immunity health. Single-ingredient juices are the best option for the digestive system. Multiple ingredient juices are healthy just as well, but I’d like to make a point towards simplicity for a healthy lifestyle instead. The letter "A" is for apple and has been around for so long that it's well known as the first fruit on earth. Hieroglyphic writings found inside tombs and pyramids from the ancient Kemet/Egyptian people show apples as food and medicine. Apple(s) have been the center of folklore for thousands of years with the most recent Adam/Eve story and popularized in today's tech advances with Apple products.

Did You Know That
“When the effects of chemicals appear, they are misdiagnosed as the flu, infection, venereal disease, allergies, headaches, tension, stress, depression, fatigue and, more.”- Dr. Llaila O. Afrika.
Not only arepesticides an issue, as mentioned before in The Most Contaminated Fruits and Vegetable article, but a concern for genetically modified foods (GMO) as well. In the United States and Canada, industrialists are not required to label genetically modified foods. Without this requirement, the public may assume that they're consuming foods that are naturally safe to eat.
|
The commercial fast foods that aren’t naturally processed are genetically altered and highly toxic. There are no commercial foods safe to eat. These toxins and synthetic chemicals destroy and deteriorate the human body and are addicting.
We may be... 1) using refined white sugar that has been demineralized- (almost everything contains a form of sugar today). 2) we don’t get the purest, most natural foods anymore, because manufacturers add dyes, acids, artificial flavors, texturizes, preservatives, synthetic chemicals, hormones, antibiotics, and steroids. |

Foods can be our medicine, but not unless they are natural foods. You can change your food choices, but you can only change them for the better by creating new habits and teaching yourself to use natural foods.
If you had an organic pomegranate in one hand and a pickle in the other to eat, you have to decide which one is best: natural or processed? You know that your body needs natural/organic foods for balance.

Contaminated Fruits and Vegetables
Pesticides can enter the body through inhalation, skin contact from contaminated soil, water, and foods. Over a period of time, pesticides can contaminate the body with toxins, free radicals, and waste products that stress the filtering systems of the body and reduce the body’s ability to fight diseases.
    |
Since the Environmental Protection Agency was founded in 1970, 134 pesticides have stopped being used in the United States, and 37 have been outlawed. The systemic spraying of pesticides introduces harmful chemicals to be absorbed by a plant when applied to its seeds, soil, or leaves. The chemicals then circulate through the plant's tissues, killing the insects that feed on them. Some pesticides are dangerous to human health. Pesticides are linked to a list of long-term illnesses such as prostate, lung, thyroid, and bone cancer; diabetes; Parkinson's disease, asthma, and macular degeneration. See the source information linked below. |
Dr. Akua Gray, “The Most Contaminated Fruits and Vegetables Chart”
|
Vegetables
1. Celery 2. Spinach 3. Potatoes 4. Sweet red bell pepper 5. Lettuce 6. Carrots 7. Green beans 8. Hot peppers 9. Cucumbers |
|
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines pesticides as any chemical substance used to regulate, prevent, or destroy plants or pests. Pesticides are used throughout the world as mixtures called formulations, such as Roundup, a glyphosate-based weed killer tested as the most toxic herbicide and insecticide with carcinogenic properties.
SHOP ORGANIC PRODUCE
Reduce contamination by shopping at local food markets where organic produce is sold, buy organic fruits and vegetables, or grow your produce at home. Eating organic fruits and vegetables from the produce section or grown at home means that you are ingesting high amounts of vitamins, minerals, and fiber needed for balance.
Natural, whole, or organic food's connection to health and wellness can be easy for us to relate. As with all organic foods, none are grown or handled using genetically modified organisms prohibited by USDA organic standards.

How to Shop for Natural, Organic Foods
    |
Eating healthier is what we all strive to do consistently to feel better on the inside and to maintain homeostasis in our body. Therefore, your natural, organic shopping experience begins in the produce section of the grocery store for natural, organic foods. Shopping in the produce section is where eating healthy becomes a lifestyle. If the first go-to meal in the morning is at a local coffee shop for java and a pastry, and the last meal of the day is a fast-food drive-thru, then you're consuming artificial colors, flavoring, processed, and denatured foods at significantly high levels. Especially true for people with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and hyperactive irregularities, such as ADHD. |

9**** is Organic Produce
8**** is Genetically Modified Produce 4**** and 3**** are Conventional Produce grown with approved pesticides |
Eating organic fruits and vegetables from the produce section or grown at home means that you are ingesting high amounts of vitamins, minerals, and fiber needed for the homeostasis of the body.
The more fruits and vegetables you eat, the more important it is to buy organically grown produce. The difference between organic and conventional produce is the number of pesticides used to defend against insects while the plant is in the growing stage.

Remember how the old saying goes, that once we know better, we can do better for ourselves? Well, hopefully, the next time that someone kindly suggests that you buy natural, organic foods, you’ll have the essential tools given here to understand why that might be.
Natural, whole, or organic food's connection to health and wellness can be easy for us to relate. As with all organic foods, none are grown or handled using genetically modified organisms, which are prohibited in USDA organic standards. GMO is the engineering of a microorganism to synthesize its properties, altering its natural process and sustainability- otherwise, grown in lab space.

USDA organic regulations are grown and processed foods according to federal guidelines: soil quality, pesticide and weed control, animal raising practices, and use of additives. USDA ORGANIC PRODUCE: Before harvest season, organic produce entails that there are no prohibited substances grown on soil for three years. The difference between organic and conventional produce is the number of pesticides used to defend against insects while the plant is in the growing stage. |
  |
USDA ORGANIC MEAT:
USDA organic regulations for meat require that animals are raised in living conditions accommodating their natural behaviors, like the ability to graze on pastures, fed 100% organic feed/forage, and are not subjected to antibiotics or hormones. |
  |
USDA ORGANIC PROCESSED, MULTI-INGREDIENT FOODS:
These items follow USDA Organic regulations with minor exceptions that may contain some approved non-agriculture ingredients: enzymes in yogurt, pectin in fruit jams, or baking soda in baked goods. |
USDA Organic foods do not consist of added trans-fat, artificial colors, dyes, artificial flavoring and growth hormones, antibiotics, vegetable oils, chemical fertilizers, chemical food additives, genetically modified organisms, high-fructose corn syrup, preservatives like sodium nitrate and sodium nitrates, or toxic pesticides.
While packaged foods are popular today, Dr. LLaila O. Afrika states that “contemporary junk food and fast food diet is based upon denatured, highly refined, processed, genetically altered and synthetically chemicalized, non-foods.” It has zero nutritional value.
