We know that commercially-grown fruits and vegetables are sprayed with pesticides and other chemicals. This is not something that we can avoid, as not all of us are blessed with easy access to organic or pesticide-free produce.
One very effective way I've found to remove these toxins from fruits and vegetables is to soak them in clean water with a mixture of a small capful of apple cider vinegar.
Vegetables tend to catch more of the pesticides. When preparing them, tear (not cut) them up from their bunch and soak them in this solution. In place of apple cider vinegar, you may use normal cooking vinegar and add some salt.
Soak it for about 10 minutes and you will start to notice the water smell. This means the pesticide has come off. Rinse the vegetables a couple more times and it's ready for juicing. Do the same thing for fruits.
Fruits and vegetables are already fully equipped with antioxidants and are super blood cleansers. Should the little toxins somehow find their way into your body, the amount of goodness from the juices will easily cancel out the toxins that are consumed at the same time.

Nice Info Squeeshie! I am going to try the vinegar trick, thanks!
ReplyDeleteDo you wash ALL your fruits and veggies at one time when you get home from the store and before you store them?
Why no Juicin' Jones. Should I wash my fruits and veggies before I store them in my fridge ?
ReplyDeleteNot sure, maybe we should find out.
ReplyDeleteFound out ! It's easier on your constitution if you go ahead and wash your veggies before you put them in the fridge. That way you can just grab your veggies and throw them in the juicer.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found out. I'm spending most of the morning cleaning my veggies.
