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.

Look at the Barcode Label:

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.
