Rinsing them with water is a good start but with all the bacteria and pesticides on everything these days you may want to take up your cleaning a notch. This was is something you can whip up in bulk then transfer it to a spray bottle you keep near your sink so it is always ready for you.

Mix together some lemon juice, some distilled vinegar and some baking soda. Pour that into a big jug of water. Shake it up then pour some into your spray bottle. Now spritz that stuff on your fruits and vegetables while you wash them off with tap water.

Are There Really Negative Calorie Foods?

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain negative calorie foods. A negative calorie food is one in which the amount of calories it takes to digest the food is more than the amount of calories the food has. For example say a piece of broccoli has about 25 calories and it takes your body 80 calories of energy to digest that piece of broccoli then you have theoretically created a deficit of 55 calories. So according to this theory you are losing weight while eating certain foods. Foods that burn a lot of calories to digest tend to be healthy fruits and vegetables like: berries, celery, grapefruit, cabbage and cauliflower. Sounds a little fishy but eating more fruits and vegetables are good for you. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
