STEP 1: AVOID The Dirty Dozen At ALL Costs!
If are are able to buy locally grown or organic produce that is ideal. When I was budgeting I avoided the dirty dozen and bought more of the clean 15
Step 2: WASH and Soak Your Produce
Both methods are effective. The baking soda method has been shown to remove up to 96% of pesticide residues in studies
Step 3: DAILY Detoxing To Remove INTERNAL Pesticides Safely From The Body
Many pesticides (specifically on wheat, oats & barely) are systemic meaning they are absorbed through plant tissues due to pre-harvest desiccation. Washing does NOT remove internally absorbed pesticides. This is why I choose to detox them daily using the detox pack to mitigate their harmful effects.
REMEMBER: Do what you can with what you have. All of these steps will make a difference in reducing the harmful effects of pesticides, if you are only able to do one or two steps it still MATTERS. The accumulation of toxins is generational, and you are re-writing the health and well being of yourself and future generations!
