Man, this is crazy, and it just goes to show that we need to be educated about what we’re eating and make better choices with food.

1. Reduce The Toxic Load: Keep Chemicals Out of the Air, Water, Soil and our Bodies
With only 0.5 percent of crop and pasture land in organic, according to USDA that leaves 99.5 percent of farm acres in the U.S. at risk of exposure to noxious agricultural chemicals.

Our bodies are the environment so supporting organic agriculture doesn’t just benefit your family, it helps all families live less toxically.

2. Reduce if Not Eliminate Off Farm Pollution
Pesticide drift affects non-farm communities with odorless and invisible poisons.

3. Protect Future Generations
Before a mother first nurses her newborn, the toxic risk from pesticides has already begun. Studies show that infants are exposed to hundreds of harmful chemicals in utero. Numerous studies show that pesticides can adversely affect the nervous system, increase the risk of cancer, and decrease fertility.

fish fry

Feed 8 Friends for Under $100 with this Green Frugal Feast: Sustainable Fish Fry

Via Planet Green:

A fish fry can be sustainable if you choose the right fish. Stay away from any fish that’s larger than about the size of a salmon and check out the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Guide to ensure that you’re making the best fish choice for the planet. This is no minor detail, in fact more and more fish are moving toward extinction. A fish fry is way easier on the planet if you plan ahead. Large, fatty and almost extinct fish like Bluefin tuna are not good for frying while many smaller and more abundant white fish like tilapia and triggerfish are often great for frying.

TOP SEVEN FOODS FOR HEALTH AND LONGEVITY

*BLACK RASPBERRIES

*STRAWBERRIES

*BLUEBERRIES

*FLAX SEEDS

*GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES

*TOMATOES

*BROCCOLI SPROUTS

 

The healthy and nutritious foods are high antioxidant foods, primarily fruits and vegetables. I selected these healthy foods because they contain the most powerful phytochemicals and anthocyanins which illustrate strong inhibition of chemocarcinogens.

Other foods with high antioxidant and high anti-cancer potential include walnuts, sunflower seeds, pomegranates, beets, cabbage, peppers, and parsley. Make your diet strongly cancer-protective and longevity-favorable by including these highly beneficial, nutritious foods.

A good way to think about nutritious food: Produce is the most important health care your money can buy.

Food also has the potential to harm, and these are effective foods for those attempting to die younger. One of my daughters calls this list the Seven Foods of Death.

WORST SEVEN FOODS FOR HEALTH AND LONGEVITY

*BUTTER

*CHEESE

*POTATO CHIPS & FRENCH FRIES

*DOUGHNUTS

*SALT

*SAUSAGE, HOT DOGS

*PICKLED, SMOKED OR BARBECUED MEET

 

Foods high in saturated fat and trans fat are consistently associated with high cancer rates. Cheese and butter typically contain over ten times as much saturated fat as fish and white meat chicken and turkey.

Salt has been consistently linked to stomach cancer and stroke, even in populations that eat diets low in saturated fat.

Add the carcinogenic potential from heated and overcooked oils (usually trans containing) delivered in doughnuts and fries with the powerful cancer inducing properties of carbohydrates cooked at high heat (acrylamide formation) and you have a great cancer potion.

Needless to say, I advise people to avoid the foods on my “worst list” entirely.

The best foods to eat are the healthy, nutritious fresh fruits and vegetables. By making these antioxidant foods the major portion of your diet, you can protect yourself against cancer and other serious diseases. As you extend your youthful vigor into later years
