Unless you buy organic produce there is a good chance that the fruits and vegetables you eat everyday are covered in pesticides and bacteria. So, how do we continue to eat plenty of fresh produce without poisoning our bodies with these chemicals (aside from going 100% organic)? According to Dr.Oz this homemade fruit and vegetable cleaner should do the trick!
1. In a spray bottle, dissolve 1 tablespoon of baking soda in 1 cup of warm water.
2. Add the juice from half of a lemon.
3. Slowly add 1 cup of white vinegar. Let the mixture sit, stirring occasionally until there are no more bubbles.
4. Put the nozzle on your spray bottle and voila!- you have your very own homemade produce cleaner.
WARNING: Do not add the vinegar until the baking soda dissolves or you will have an erupting volcano of produce cleaner on your hands. Trust me on this...
Just spray your produce with the cleaner and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then rinse thoroughly and eat! :) It doesn't get much easier (or cheaper) than that!
This blog is about living a healthy life in order to keep kicking to age 100-and by kicking I mean retaining the quality of life that I enjoy currently. Just because we age does not mean we have to get old! As a physical therapist, massage therapist, and a runner who transformed myself from a size 18 after having my son back to a size 6, I would love to share my knowledge with anyone who cares to listen...err...read. It is my hope that others will read this blog and take control of their health.
