A simple way to reduce pesticide intake
in your fruits & veggies

by Diana

Time to read: 1.5 minutes. How would you like to lower your family’s pesticide consumption by nearly four-fifths?  Did you know you can?  Just by buying the 12 most contaminated fruits and vegetables as organic.  When you eat “The Dirty Dozen” (most contaminated fruits and vegetables) non-organically you’ll be exposed to an average of 10 pesticides a day. When you choose non-organic produce from the 15 least-contaminated fruits and vegetables, you’ll consume fewer than 2 pesticides per day.

You do not have to buy exclusively  organic.  Get smart and apply what I’m sharing with you below — tomorrow.  Next time you go to the store or local farmer’s market. Click to continue…

Teleseminar Announcement!

February 24, 2010 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT
with Diana Raleva and
Dr. Rob Streisfeld, author of A Healthier Ever After

I’m excited to announce our February teleseminar with Dr. Rob Streisfeld, author of A Healthier Ever After. Read on for details but Doc Rob (as he’s known) is helping families create better health through an improved “mindset of health” through his books and speaking. His fairy tale approach to health tips for kids is fun, engaging and effective for children and caregivers alike.

We can’t reform your way out of chronic disease by changing who pays for it. And you can’t solve obesity, asthma, arthritis, diabetes or any disease by insuring all the uninsured. Join us as we learn how to take care of ourselves and our children using a totally new belief system… a new, holistic, affordable, easily implemented and FUN “natural religion.”

Why are most of us so obsessed with the smell, taste and look of chocolate? Because our body NEEDS it.

Here’s how to tell

by Diana

Fact:

80 Percent of Americans Have No Idea Which Foods Contain Trans Fats

Read time: 2 minutes. As reported in NaturalNews, most people in the United States now know that they should avoid trans fats but few actually know which foods contain the dangerous ingredients.  Example: food companies selling things like potato chips and fried snack goods stop frying and slap “baked” on the label — they take frying totally out of the equation.  Bingo — their product becomes health food.  Right? Wrong! Consider the actual ingredients — not just what may be added during the cooking process. Read on and I’ll show you who to easily, quickly decide what a healthy snack looks like in the shopping isle.  Here’s how to read the label AND know what to look for. Click to continue…
