If you have thought in the past you would love to eat organic and you find it is not in your budget, here is some help.

There has been a list created called The Dirty Dozen and now a new list comprised called The Clean Fifteen. This list was comprised and is updated regularly as things change by the EWA Environmental Working Group.

The Shopper’s Guide will help you determine which fruits and vegetables have the most pesticide residues and so are the most important to buy organic. You can lower your pesticide consumption by nearly four-fifths by avoiding the 12 most contaminated fruits and vegetables and instead eating the least contaminated produce, according to EWG calculations.

I have attached this list below if you would like a download and printable version click here

So the next time you shop for fruits and vegetables and you are not in the head space or budget to buy organic, do yourself a favour and buy from the 15 clean and avoid the Dirty Dozen. When you click on the link to download there is also an app you can add to your phone so you never have to forget what is on the list.

Happy Shopping!!

Namaste:)

Our food is missing the amount of nutrition our body needs and therefore its natural to crave, but we are so out of touch that we don’t even know what it really is. We are also surrounded by fast food outlets that make it even more difficult to get our nutrition and the added chemicals for flavouring,  and for increasing the addictive qualities compound the issues, weight gain, and more cravings. Its a vicious cycle.

If you want to break the cycle and start to get some clarity around what your body really wants and lose some unwanted pounds and inches in a really healthy way, then nutritional cleansing may be the kick start you need as it supports the body’s natural cleansing process by feeding it with all the nutrition the body needs to support both Phase 1 and Phase 2 detoxification. Simply put, Phase 1 with the help of enzymatic function changes non water soluble chemicals into water soluble chemicals and Phase 2 then elminates the toxins. To get an over view of this and the impact of toxicity on our health and weight gain and weight loss get the scoop on Nutritional Cleansing. One of the really cool things about this is, you don’t have to wait for 3 months to burn fat, build muscle or feel and see change.

Give it 4 days is the new line on a brochure and if you do the program and follow it and it does not make a difference, return the product within 30 days and get your money back. Whats there to lose but the cravings, inches and some unwanted weight.

Buffets and social functions whose tables are laden with tempting treats can be trying unless you have a well-planned strategy to help you make wise choices. Whether you are on holiday, or at a work function, you probably shouldn’t just view your time as out of the ordinary experience and thus overindulge.  

Buffets really are survivable if you follow just a few simple tricks, like the following:

• Drink only water and unsweetened juices
• Stay away from the breads, deep fried breaded items, and starchy foods
• Eat lots and lots of raw or steamed veggies and fruits before going near any other foods
• Stay away from the dressings and dipping sauces
• Try to stay far far away from the desserts table(s)
• Plan to eat a bit anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour before you have to face the buffet – better than going when you’re starving and thus will find it harder to make smart choices
• Plan for 1 treat a day and make sure that you eat it – you will feel you’ve been deliciously bad and that will help to keep you true to your other menu choices

For many of you, unless it truly is a once or twice yearly experience, the buffet is something to be avoided completely as the wide variety of offerings and the lure of ensuring you ‘get your money’s worth’ is just too strong of a temptation!

Tables loaded down with food remain a central part of too many social gatherings yet as long as you don’t use them as an excuse to go wild, you’ll be fine. If there are some foods that you just can’t do without, then ensure that you balance them by choosing wisely with the rest of your meal. If your greatest desire is to eat healthier but need that extra help or coaching to discover how, try contacting a really good health and wellness practitioner who will be able to help you in gaining back your energetic and healthier lifestyle. Healthy choices and nutrition are a conscious decision that you can easily learn and follow until it becomes second nature.

Kate, at You Potentiality reminds that there are many things, medication, like caffeine, smoking, heavy food and carbs, and even alcohol consumed too close to bedtime that can affect your sleep and therefore your health. Ironically, even medication for insomnia can have adverse health effects and cause you to lose sleep. Follow the quick tips below and check out the recommended general relaxation and rebalancing techniques combined with a personalized cleansing and nutrition system to help you in gaining a healthier sleep pattern.

Quick tips to aide your sleep:

1. Don’t eat carbs after 6pm This one is admittedly the hardest tip to follow but staying away from the chips and cookies while watching the evening news will bring about the quickest and most beneficial health benefit. Your sleep will be easier.
2. Ensure a dark and quiet sleeping environment. Turn off the TV, lower your blinds or wear a night-shade over your eyes. If your room is too bright or too noisy, you are losing the health benefits of a deep sleep
3. Put a quiet time into effect in the hour or two before bedtime. Just like when you were a child, that quite time is beneficial in helping to put the stresses and stimulus of the day behind you.
4. Count sheep. Don’t laugh! Keeping your mind engaged in a boring activity can numb your brain into a boredom induced and relaxing sleep.
5. Progressive muscle relaxation Quite easy to do, while lying down for bed, this technique involves every muscle group in your body. Starting at your toes, you tense all their muscles as tightly as you can, count to 10 and then completely relax them again. Do this for every separate muscle group in your body, working your way up from one by one to the top of your head.

You Potentiality can help you relax and calm your nervous and digestive system to bring about a very natural state of well being that will help to enable a natural and healing sleep.
