Adding more greens like kale into your diet this year? Here are a few quick tips!
*Always buy organic kale; it is sprayed with lots of chemicals making it one of the Dirty Dozen. The kale should be firm with fresh, deeply colored leaves and hardy stems.
*To store, place kale in a plastic storage bag removing as much of the air from the bag as possible. Store in the refrigerator where it will keep for 5 days. The longer it is stored, the more bitter its flavor becomes. Do not wash kale before storing because exposure to water encourages spoilage. Loss of some nutrients in kale—for example, its vitamin C content—is slowed down through refrigeration.

What Exactly is a Toxin?
A toxin is basically any substance that creates irritating or harmful effects in the body, which can sometimes even damage our tissues and organs. A lot of people are not aware of the fact that everything we breathe, eat, drink, and even touch contain toxins, in other words, we can acquire toxins from our environment by breathing them, by ingesting them, or through physical contact with them.
Toxins can be poisons, heavy metals, pesticides, fungicides, cleaning solvents, smog, and many substances that we don’t even know are leeching into our bodies via our clothing, our furniture, and even our carpets. Did you know that the worst toxins we can ingest are put into our foods as additives and preservatives?
