RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Do you like juicing, cleansing, detoxing with fruits/veggies? Do you know about GMO, "Dirty Dozen," and "Clean 15" fruits/veggies?" If you don't know about them, and you're not buying organic, you're "detoxing/cleansing" with POISON.

Chemically engineered GMO fruits/veggies are why people are getting diseases like cancer at younger ages, why people are having more reproductive issues/birth defects, and why people have digestive system issues, increased food allergies, etc.

"Dirty Dozen" or "Clean 15" terms refer to the levels of insecticides & pesticides in them. The "Dirty Dozen" are: apples, celery, sweet bell peppers, peaches, strawberries, imported nectarines, grapes, spinach, lettuce, cucumbers, domestic blueberries, potatoes, green beans, kale, collards, and leafy greens.

The "Clean 15" are: onions, sweet corn, pineapples, avocado, cabbage, sweet peas, asparagus, mangoes, eggplant, kiwi, domestic cantaloupe, sweet potatoes, grapefruit, watermelon, and mushrooms.

BUY ORGANIC! Better to spend a little more on organic meats, fruits, and veggies NOW, than later on prescription meds, doctor visit co-pays, hospital bills, insurance premiums.
