You don't have to spend a fortune to eat healthy. Some people give up the Holyistic Life because they think that buying healthy organic food will break the bank.
Let me say: Get your priorities straight.
All kidding aside, the reality is we have budgets and some of us are living a little be more paycheck to paycheck than others. And at this point, organic foods would be a luxury.
Fear not, here is a financial yoga that will get your dollars stretching.
When buying fruit a good rule of thumb is that the stuff with thicker skins don't have to be organic. why, because the it takes longer for the pesticides to move through the thickness and into the fruit. So things like: bananas, cantalope, watermelons etc... buy "regular" if you have to.
The thin skinned fruits are a "must" buy organic. The pesticides are permeating that skin real quick.
And of course if you cannot buy organic, then be sure to really wash and rinse your food before eating it.
And if all else fails...plant a small garden for yourself. This will get you back in touch with nature, and you will have ultimate control over what pesticides you put on your plants.
