We all know about the health benefits of eating fresh fruit and vegetables.<\/span><\/p>\n

But probably you are not getting the most out of your diet \u2013 because you don\u2019t wash the produce properly.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Because, using standard tap water is not enough; you need to soak your tomatoes and strawberries in high alkaline water with a pH of around 11.5 instead.<\/p>\n

Doing this leads to a chemical reaction that helps to strip away harmful pesticides left on the skin.<\/p>\n

It works because many of the commonly-used pesticides are oil-based, which requires the alkaline effect to break them down.<\/p>\n

The chemicals are used by farmers and food producers around the globe to ward off insects and weeds.<\/p>\n

Research has found that fruit such as apples, peaches and nectarines \u2013 plus vegetables including cucumbers, peppers, spinach and potatoes \u2013 are among the worst culprits for high pesticide residue.<\/p>\n

While the chemicals do a good job of eliminating bugs and diseases, they have been linked to conditions such as skin irritation, eye issues and even anxiety and ADHD if ingested by humans.<\/p>\n\t\n \n
