Dying to Live is really all about "living"

I started this blog to help others die to the things that are keeping them from truly living. I talk about everything from taking every thought captive to making healthy choices when eating. I have been on this journey for over 15 years now and finally decided it's time to share it with others. Come join me and learn why we must die in order to truly LIVE!

Helpful Hints about buying organic

I do not always buy organic fruits and veggies.  The most important thing is to eat your fruits and veggies...even if they are not organic!!

Fruits and vegetables with the highest pesticide exposure are peaches, apples, strawberries, nectarines, pears, cherries, red raspberries, imported grapes, spinach, bell peppers, celery, potatoes, and hot peppers.  I recommend that you either carefully wash and peel these fruits and vegetable before eating or that you consider buying organically grown varieties.

Organic or Not...Eat your greens!!

what do you think about washing these higher leveled pesticide fruits in FIT?

I think that is a great idea. If they have a peeling and are in this higher level...then I would peel them, too. I think it is more important to eat the fruits and veggies than to buy organic.

that's so contrary to what you're taught all your life... eat the peelings-- they have such good vitamins and minerals in them. but now due to pesticides, we are saying it is better to peel an apple than to eat the "nutritious" peels? just want to make sure i repeat your wisdom properly ;) UNLESS i am buying organic of course... right?
