Purity in Food

Eat Only Organic Food:

To begin our journey on Saucha we must examine the "pure" foods we feed our bodies. The Yoga Girl Diet says its important to consume as many fruit and vegetables as possible. Yet the challenge isn't just about the quantity of produce you take in, but also the quality, you want safe, wholesome fruits and vegetables whenever possible. The problem is that produce and other food are contaminated with residues of pesticides that can be unhealthy for our bodies. Research shows us that pesticides might damage nervous systems, and chronic low level exposure to environmental toxins might increase the risk of cancer and degenerative neurological disorders such as Parkinson's and ALS.
