How
to eat safely
From the
article 'Watch your mouth' by Lisa Petty
Staying healthy with fruits and vegetables shouldn't
leave you with a bad taste in your mouth.
Opt for
organic foods as often as possible. Although organic foods might not be
completely free of contaminants, they are a much better option than
conventionally-grown produce. To reduce over-exposure to any one
chemical, be sure to include a variety of fruits and vegetables in your
diet. Choosing foods that are locally-grown and in season also helps to
reduce your exposure to chemical cosmetics and preservatives,
particularly if you can't always find organic fare.
As you wash
your produce, remember that day in high-school science class when you
learned that oil and water don't mix: because many of the pesticides,
fertilizers and chemical additives used on fresh produce are derived
from petrochemicals (meaning oil) a quick splash under the water tap is
not going to be very effective for cleaning your food. Instead, wash
your food, including organic produce, with a specially designed
produce cleanser. As always when choosing a
product, read the label to be sure that the formula contains ingredients
that will help you with your quest for clean food.
Look for a produce wash
that uses natural
surfactants to break down and remove chemical residues. (Surfactants are
water-soluble surface-active agents that attach to oils to bring them
into solution so that they can be rinsed away.) Natural anti-bacterial
ingredients such as grapefruit seed extract are also useful for removing
germs from the surface of your foods. Some choices on the market are
proven with clinical testing to remove residues and coatings (bacterial
claims are not allowed), so you might want to start with one of those
products. Feel free to call the manufacturer of any cleansing product
that you are considering using to find out if they have proof that their
product works.
Eliminate bad odours
Air fresheners and perfumed masking agents do not
actually remove odours , just cover them up.
Using an odour eliminator will dissolve the odours and
leave air smelling fresh and clean. Our Pet Odour eliminator
neutralises even the strongest pet odours instantly. It's even strong
enough to neutralise skunk odour. |
