Please hold the Pesticides

I have been trying to eliminate a lot of toxins in my life. I am hoping that by doing that I will increase my fertility and improve my health. I would love to eat nothing but organic food. Unfortunately it can cost quite a bit of money to eat only organic. I have been wanting to sign up with a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). Basicly it is a subscription program where you pay to receive a portion of the crops that farm grows for that week. I am hoping to save up some money to sign ip for it next year. It is a wonderful way to get organic fruits and vegetables and help a local farm. You can find local farms or famers markets in your area at a really cool website called Local Harvest

I had read about how fertility is affected by toxins like pesticides. They found in farming communities that use certain pesticides the risk are higher for miscarriage, there is an increased chance of autoimmune responses where the body attacks the sperm or egg, and lower sperm count. You can find more info on this at Fertility Factor. I am going to do my best to decrease my intake of pesticides by buying produce that is lower in the amount of pesticides it absorbs. They say if you eat the skin you should buy it organic. For a list of foods that you should buy organic check out WebMD. Happy Healthy Eating!!
