How to eat and live clean:




I found these health tips in a magazine called Clean Eating and I wanted to share a few of them with you:
1- Drink at least 2 liters of water a day.

2-Get label savvy: Clean foods contain just one or two ingredients. Any product with a long ingredient list is human-made and not considered clean!

3-Drink water with a lemon wedge.

4-Slow down and savor: Never rush through a meal. Food tastes best when savored. Enjoy every bite.

More Random tips:
Did you know that any vegetable that is darker on the outside than from the inside has all the vitamins in the skin? Like cucumbers and eggplants...so make sure to eat the skin also:)


Did you know to help your green produce ripen a little more quickly, store it a perforated plastic bag? The air circilating in the bag retains ethylene gas which can ripen the produce faster.
On the other hand Mama Carmi always stores her avacado's in the uncooked rice basket to help ripen them faster...so try them both, see what works for you!
Enjoy!
