If you follow me on social media, you probably saw this post yesterday: "I'm not promising perfection, but as of today, I'm making a conscious decision to eat totally clean. I'm sure I'll mess up, but one day I'll get it right!" Well, I fail already. I still have a lot to learn about clean eating. I don't propose to understand it or have it all right just yet--I only just started reading about it. I subscribed to both Oxygen and Clean Eating magazine, and let me tell you, I was pretty surprised to learn what you CAN eat when focusing on eating clean. The current issue has a picture of a chocolate banana pie on the cover! And it looks really good! I was so relieved to see that there's still yummy-looking foods on the menu. Here's what I do understand about clean eating, as described by both the magazine and the website, "Clean Eating": "Clean eating is all about consuming whole food in its most natural state, or ...

You have heard of organic foods, but you probably don't think about this term pertaining to cows and chickens. After all, no one has figured out how to produce these animals in a factory, so aren't all edible creatures sort of classified as organic meat ? Before you succumb to this line of thought, it is important for you to understand what nutritionists mean when they refer to organic meats. While the chicken or the cow may look the very same as its non-organic counterparts, there are some pretty big differences. For starters, most cows and chickens are raised on large farms where they are treated unfairly and subject to some pretty disgusting living conditions. Just remember, whatever they eat, you eat. Whatever they experience, you could potentially follow suit. For example, the phenomenon known as mad cow disease can occur when cows are fed the ground up remains of their own species. This is a condition of the brain that is fatal in both animals and humans, and i...

We all know the benefits we draw from eating fruits. Fruits figure well in the diet of health conscious people and because of the high fiber content many organic fruit have, it serves as a natural laxative. They are also high in antioxidants which protect our bodies from free radicals that can be detrimental to our health. Imagine then, how much more beneficial it would be if you start eating organic fruits. Fruits which are organic are those that were grown without the use of synthetic chemicals like fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides. Instead, renewable resources are used to grow these fruits. Most of the stuff used to fertilize the soil is natural garden and kitchen wastes so nutrients still present in these just find their way back into the soil. Organic fruits, unlike non-organic produce, are free from residual chemicals which may still be present even after you wash the fruit. The risk of ingesting harmful chemicals, therefore, is lower or total...
