After our first child started eating ‘adult’ food, we became much more conscious about what we put into our bodies.  The terms ‘organic’ and ‘clean’ are often used and recommended, but what exactly does that mean?  After researching the topic for several weeks, one of my favorite articles comes from Live Life Active.  She states ‘if it came from the ground or its momma, its probably clean.’

Staples in our household include LOTS of water & daily vitamins including multivitamins, probiotics, fiber supplements and when pregnant/nursing, a good pre-natal.

The Dirty Dozen and the Clean Fifteen.

 

So go stock your fridge with fruits and vegetables!
