Nutritional Tips:
Focus on whole foods like fruits and vegetables. Prioritze homemade snacks and treats.
Limit "supermarket foods" to minimally processed and single ingredients as much as possible. This page includes "minimally processed" processed foods I occasionally use.
Organic produce is ideal but eating MORE fruits and vegetables is most important! So eat as much as you can, organic or non-organic!
Store-bought produce washes don’t remove all pesticides. Instead soak produce in:
2 teaspoons baking soda per 4 cups water for 10-15 minutes. Rinse well + pat dry.
