Proper Disposal of Waste from Gardens

In the household, the garden generates the maximum amount of organic waste. Garden waste includes grass clippings, tree and shrub trimmings, leaves, and similar organic effluvia. In many counties, it is illegal to pack garden waste for disposal in landfills. In this scenario, proper disposal of garden waste is a challenge.

Increasingly many households are turning garden waste into usable compost. Composting is viewed as an environmentally sound option that recycles huge amounts of organic waste into an invaluable resource. Alternately, there exist household waste recycling centers that accept garden waste for commercial composting which is ploughed back into agricultural land as soil reformer. This usage of garden waste by turning it into compost better organizes your household.

Compost is Green Gold

If you wish to recycle your garden waste into green gold by composting it, you can either purchase a readymade compost bin or build your own compost site. Compost bins are available at garden centers and affordable. Simply add organic waste to this bin, turn it periodically for better aeration, and your green gold will emerge in few weeks. Alternately you may choose a secluded spot in your garden to build a simple compost pile. Just dump all your organic garden waste in one spot, turn the pile frequently and you will garner good results in the form of usable compost. This household compost pile can even accept all your kitchen organic waste.

Organized Household

The proper disposal of garden waste is now a household task. Many households have undertaken this activity voluntarily to lessen the burden on landfills. Summer time is the peak time for organic waste build-up and households actively engage in constructing compost piles to break down this huge waste into compost. All garden waste is effectively better organized; it is neatly piled up in one corner. This compost pile is versatile for even accepting organic kitchen and household waste.

So organize your house better by segregating garden waste for reuse. You don’t need to lug huge plastic bags full of garden residue to the curb for collection. Simply start an elementary compost pile and watch your waste turn into green gold.

There are millions of nursing home patients in the United States. So many times when a nurse calls a physician regarding a patients cold symptoms or slightly elevated temperature, a doctor gives an order for an antibiotic to treat these symptoms, and usually a nurse is calling the physician to request a cough syrup, or to just inform the doctor of the patients condition. But why do the doctors order antibiotics so frequently over the phone, just because nurses have to inform them of changes in a patients condition? And if the nurses did not report these changes, which are common in the elderly, and a patient had a serious life threatening condition, the nurse would be neglecting the patient.

It is no wonder that in a few weeks, we are checking these patients for Clostridium Difficile Infection. Antibiotic sickness is at an all time high. If you take your infant to the pediatrician, because of cold symptoms, they will usually tell you it is a virus, and they are usually right, your child will probably fight the virus and improve. But, in the elderly, it is unusual for a physician to let the elderly patient fight off the virus on their own, this may be due to the fact that the physician is unable to see the patient, or the families are insisting on antibiotic treatment.

We need serious change here, because your child may need the antibiotic that is so frequently over prescribed by these doctors, for these common colds in the elderly population. By the time your child needs this frivolously prescribed antibiotic for an ear infection or a life threatening infection to save his or her life, the bacteria your child has may be resistant to this particular antibiotic because of overuse of this medicine. If they would order a chest x-ray or a urine culture first, or whatever testing would be indicated according to the symptoms, that would be a start in the war against over prescribing antibiotics. We already have a problem with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium Difficile Infection and Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus, what is next? Serious guidelines for prescribing antibiotics must be enforced.

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight

Often in the early hours of the morning because I don’t work I am lying on my back in bed speaking to Jesus. Sometimes I speak in my mind and sometimes I speak in a soft voice like a whisper. Sometimes I speak to my groom, the lover of my soul for over an hour like this. Most of the time it’s in bed and it’s as I wind down for the night.

Are rolling like thunder now
As I look in your eyes

Often I am looking out to the sky but sometimes Jesus comes and sits on the end of my bed in a vision and suddenly we are speaking face to face. I have another article on the eyes of Jesus, but let me say Jesus speaks always from heart to heart. When he looks at you, you feel his words in your heart and you see the words coming out of His eyes.

I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make

One time when I was particularly sad Jesus came down and laid in my bed and I rolled over and hugged my pillow and it was just like I was hugging Him.

Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake.

His voice is warm and tender and I wish every Christian that is reading this could really hear Jesus speak to their spirits like I do. I found a book at our Christian bookstore that I am going to buy on speaking to God. It’s called “Hearing God: by Dallas Willard. On Amazon a reader of the book that gives it five stars says:

“Renowned author Dallas Willard explains in nine chapters and an epilogue how it is possible for us to hear God, or, more specifically, how to develop a “conversational relationship with God.” An essential element in developing that relationship is to “live in the will of God.” In other words, we WON’T hear God if we approach his guidance just to make sure we are right or to make sure we will gain personal favor.”

Having conservations with Jesus and the Father are such a highlight in my life and with experience in is easy to bring other people prophetic messages of comfort as I simply speak what is put in my heart by God.

How could your forsake a Son that speaks to you?

cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
Ill do all that I can.

Of course when you have a conversational relationship with Jesus you’ll find yourself doing things that Jesus requests of you.

I asked Jesus once, Why don’t people hear you like I do?”

He said, “They don’t want to hear me”

“Why?” I asked.

“Because they are afraid that if they hear me I might tell them to do something they don’t want to do.”

I was shocked. I was encouraging a friend at a church that I was going to every week. One day he told me that he thinks he heard God speak to him during the week. I asked him what did God say.

“He told me to stop drinking beer.”

I said, well that sounds like something He would say. But my beloved friend wasn’t sure. I wonder will he hear God again, will God speak a sentence to him again if he doesn’t give up the beer. I told him to give up for a few months and cultivate the relationship with God. I am not sure what He did as I don’t go to that church anymore.

I like doing what Jesus tells me to do. I do all that I can. Most often I can do what He asks me to do.

Lost is how I’m feeling lying in your arms
When the world outsides too
Much to take
That all ends when I’m with you

When I am in bed chatting to Jesus late at night I discuss the world outside with Him. I ask Him about the things that are making the world to hard to take and He gives me His insight and His comfort. It really is an awesome thing to speak to the Creator and the real Jesus Christ and speak candidly about your life and troubles and hopes and dreams.

Jesus makes me feel so good, I sometimes spend quite a lot of time speaking to Him and His Father. And on nights like tonight, His Holy Spirit sits on me and fills me with the words to type and the feeling of the anointing is so sweet and peaceful.

The Holy Spirit’s anointing of peace and direction is so comforting and when you have prayed enough He is with you through the day and it is just no wonderful. As a person prone to depression with Bipolar Disorder, I appreciate the counter to depression that the Holly Spirit brings.

Even though there may be times
It seems I’m far away
Never wonder where I am
cause I am always by your side.

I am happy that Jesus visits me on earth. So often He has come and walked on my right hand side. He is only ever just a whisper away, all I need to do is ask Him a question and He is always there speaking to me.

To some people Jesus is in heaven and that is where he stays yet I have met Him in visions on many occasions on earth and I am sure He visits other people also. But even figuratively speaking Jesus is always by our side.

Sometimes He seems like He is far away from us. But if we focus on Him and spend time in His presence its fast for Him to return. For people that cannot get close to the Lord fast we should have church services every night. Wouldn’t that be good?

Were heading for something
Somewhere I’ve never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I’m ready to learn
Of the power of love.

God has a purpose for my life and a direction he wants me to go in and it’s all uncharted territory. My dream is to preach full time. It seems no matter how busy I am I will always be writing articles and posting them on an online ezine also as I love doing that.

I love to do this writing and I love to preach and yet there will be many things to learn and sometimes the future scares me a little but I know God has it all planned. The power of Christ’s love will be perfected within me over time an I will do great things.

I hope this gave you insight into my love for Jesus. Take the chance and buy that book I suggested, I feel it will do you good. I first learned to hear from God from a book that I read.

Antioxidants are all over the public advertising today, TV news or paper, there’s always something about antioxidant supplements. And it is fair enough. They are due their credit from a long time. In fact, the most beneficial supplements are powerful antioxidants.
It is now appropriate to nourish your body with a powerful antioxidant supplement, it is probably the smartest thing to do.

Types of Antioxidants

Let’s take a profound look and learn how we can differentiate one antioxidant from another. This is because, not all antioxidants are the same. You can make a broad classification of weak antioxidants and strong anti oxidants.

Typical vitamins are a good example for weak antioxidants. Vitamin C and E both perform the role of an antioxidant but they are relatively weak.

Conversely, there are nutrients that are used in quality antioxidant supplements. These are powerful, relatively very expensive and cannot be found in typical multivitamin formulae. Some of these are factually hundreds of times more dominant antioxidant supplements than the vitamins.

Below are some of such examples:

Green tea

Green tea extract is a concentrate made from green tea itself. This is available in some antioxidants. Asians, especially the Japanese, usually drink a lot of green tea daily. It is believed that this is the reason that makes them strong and enables them to enjoy longevity and less disease.

Alpha Lipoic Acid

Alpha lipoic acid is regarded as a very special and powerful antioxidant.

Resveratrol

Resveratrol is the substance found in red wine. This received major news coverage, a couple of years ago in the New York Times.

Turmeric

Turmeric is a persistent native to India, and has a long history of use in India’s Ayurvedic medicine. Turmeric root extract is made into a strong compound called curcumin. Curcumin is used for flavoring and in spices, in preparing many Indian dishes. Apart from good taste, it also offers a lot of health benefits.

The product we personally use called Total Balance - http://www.health-product-we-use.com is the most natural and effective supplement we have come across. We have been using this product for over 3 years with excellent health results.

We highly recommend you learn more about our best natural nutritional supplement if you are interested in improving your overall health.

Seeing our children trying to learn or understand certain notions, reminds us the times we were in school, facing the same problems, and it’s a little frustrating. Back then, we only had the classic books, and that’s about all.

Luckily, now we have a few extra options when dealing with our children’s education: the computers, the Internet, and the educational computer games. It’s a pleasant way to study while playing. Besides, when you learn from pleasure, you can store information more easily, and then retrieve it even after a long period of time. What a relief! To see a child learning in a more facile manner, and enjoying it!

From the children point of view, it’s encouraging to see that it was actually easy to learn something; that motivates them and make them feel confident that they could learn even more and more new things. Our duty as parents is to encourage them towards personal development, by learning new and useful things. We have to lead them to the right path, motivate them and encourage them to feel more self confident.

And it’s so easy to do that by making it all seems like a game. Children love games, they love to play! Don’t take this little pleasure away from them! Since nowadays we have so many educational games on the market, learning becomes easier. Besides, educational games are especially made to be very stimulating and challenging for the learning process. They can encourage the children in becoming winners. There are games with special steps that need to be followed in order to accede to a next level. And what can be more stimulating for a child in becoming creative, responsible and organized, than an educational computer game!

There are specific games for different age groups. For example, for preschool children, there are games that create a school atmosphere and allow the kids to become more familiar with the next step of their life: going to school.

For the school children or high scholars, the games are more advanced, integrating new fantastic things, stimulating logical thinking, creativity and imagination. For example, such games are backgammon, or chess. And with the Internet revolution, it’s impossible not to find the suitable game for your child, among hundreds of free online games!

I think it’s better to encourage your child in learning computer skills and playing educational games, than learn the “street code”. You can encourage your child to form a small study group, with other children, where they can learn by playing together educational games, interacting. You just have to know how to lead them properly, help them when needed and congratulate them for every little success they have. After all, it’s well known that you become the average of the 10 people surrounding you! And believe me, you don’t want your child to rise with a street gang and become one of them.

Think that a good on line educational game and your leading hand can make you a good parent, and your child can become a good citizen. And it all starts with a game!

There is so many information on muscle gain that it’s easy to get confused. I want to share with you my tested and proven muscle gain tips that will help you to build lean muscles as quick as possible.

1. Choose the right exercises. The most effective in all means are compound exercises. They involve many muscles across more than one joint (squats for example). With compound exercises you can grow more muscle weight in the shorter period of time.

2. Follow the right diet to grow muscles. Your muscles need a lot of energy during the training time and also during the recovery period. Carbohydrates and fat are the main energy sources. Choose poly carbohydrates over mono sugars, and choose unsaturated fat over saturated animal fat. Consume at least 1 gram of the protein per one pound of your bodyweight per day. This is the minimum amount needed for the appropriate muscle growth.

3. Give your body the good rest and sleep. Your muscles need time to recover from the training overloads. Muscles need to “heal” themselves after the micro traumas created during the work out. The minimum recovery time is 48 hours after the workout.

4. Train your mind to train your muscles. The connection between mind and body is widely discussed nowadays. The studies have proved that you can even heal your body just using the power of your mind. Use visualizations during the workouts. Muscles during the visualization increase their metabolism and work more effectively. Sounds ridiculous, but somehow it is true.

5. The consistency is the key to success. If you have chosen to create a beautiful, healthy body then you should understand that it has to become your life style. Constant trainings give constant improvement. You cannot build your muscles in a couple of months and then forget about them. After you have grown your muscles, take care of them by regular workouts.

I hope these muscle gain tips will help you to achieve your goal!

As inviting and innocuous-looking as your Jacuzzi or hot tub may seem, using it for therapeutic purposes will require more precaution than you probably expect. The first rule is: if there are potentially bothersome health issues, talk to your doctor. There are bodily conditions that warrant some amount of prudence.

Pregnancy

Most doctors will probably agree that it isn’t advisable for pregnant women to take too hot a bath. Who knows what injury the unborn baby may sustain if the mother’s body has gotten too warm? Pathogens in the water pose an added danger. Forgoing the delights of a hot tub until after giving birth and healing is a wise option many pregnant women take.

Heart Diseases

Be careful if you are taking anticoagulants. These blood-thinning drugs can make you vulnerable under extreme temperature. They may combine with the heat of the tub to cause fainting, dizziness or nausea. If the doctor gave you the go-signal to immerse yourself in the water, follow the prescribed duration and temperature, and if you feel anything undesirable or out of the ordinary, get out of the tub as soon as you can. Do it slowly, carefully. Take a cool shower, taking care that the water you shower with is not cold, and drink some more water.

High Blood Pressure

The relaxation brought about by a hot tub bath will be quite beneficial if you are suffering from high blood pressure. But beware of unwanted reactions if you are taking hypertensive mediations. Again, check with your physician first before taking that dip.

Substance Use

Imbibing alcohol while in the hot tub is like driving under the influence. When combined with the heat of the water, the dehydrating and blood-thinning effect of the alcohol may cause you to become weak or dizzy. You may also get sleepy and doze off until you slip under the water. Avoid taking over-the-counter drugs known to have the side effect of drowsiness. These would include cold, sinus and cough medications. Needless to say, you are in even greater danger if you are using illicit chemicals.

Exceeding Time Limits

There’s a limit to how long you, or anyone for that matter, should stay in a steaming tub. No more than twenty minutes inside is a good guideline. Conversing can make some people stay in the water more than is necessary. Getting overheated or dehydrated can be the result.

Water-Borne Diseases

Beware of the following conditions that may result from a poorly sanitized tub water, already made conducive to bacterial growth by the warm temperature in the first place:

• “Hot tub” folliculitis, or pseudomonas folliculitis, an infection characterized by reddening and pus-filled blisters, and requiring medical attention.
• The even more serious and potentially fatal Legionnaires’ disease, a form of pneumonia that is transmitted through water spray when breathed in.
• Infections of the upper respiratory tract and the middle ear caused by bobbing of the head in and out of water.

Besides being a great way to relax, hot tubs offer therapeutic effects, when done the proper way, which is, with safety in mind. There are times when it should be altogether avoided, even under professional supervision. Otherwise certain precautions should be put into place. Hot tub or spa owners, take heed!

Sub-grade:

As with many home improvement construction projects, what you don’t see is more important to the finished project than what you do see. The preparation of the sub-grade when pouring a concrete driveway is critical, without it, the life of the driveway will be decreased dramatically.

The first phase is to clear the area to be concreted of all grass, tree roots, and topsoil. If you are putting a driveway in a new area of your property or if your property has been recently graded the underlying earth must be compacted. Once the earth is compacted, you can add the layer of sub-grade material, crushed rock. A standard sub-grade thickness for a driveway is 4 inches (consult a soil engineer in your area to obtain the optimum thickness) and it is key that the sub-grade maintains an even thickness throughout the width and length. A sub-grade that varies from 3.5 to 4.5 inches will create long-term problems. Do not use the sub-grade material as filler for any low spots.

If you have a 4-inch sub-grade of crushed stone and a 4-inch concrete slab, and you want the driveway to be level with the surrounding ground then you must dig-out 8-inches of soil and earth.

Complete the sub-grade by compacting. Make sure you allow for proper drainage as outlined further on in this article.

Forms:

Wet concrete is enormously heavy! If you are using wood forms, they should be a minimum of 2-inch thick lumber. Drive stakes into the ground at least every 2-feet on the outside perimeter of the form. It is wise to use an easy form release coating on the inside of the form, otherwise you are likely to break away pieces of the concrete when removing the forms.

Steel forms are now available, which maintain their shape. Most construction rental facilities have these forms available.

Concrete Mix:

A standard concrete mix is 2,500-psi. For a driveway, you will want a much stronger mix of 4,000-psi, with a 0.5 water to cement ratio, which provides a denser concrete and hence increases the wear ability. Because concrete is permeable it will draw moisture from the ground that it rests on. By using a 0.5 water to concrete mixture, you will reduce the amount of moisture drawn up which in turn will reduce any efflorescence action on the surface of the concrete.

If you live in a cold climate, order your concrete with air entrainment. Air entrainment provides microscopic air pockets within the concrete which is a place for moisture to freeze without applying undo pressure on the concrete.

Joint Location and Depth:

Joints should be put into the concrete driveway slab after the pouring is complete. In other words, the slab should be one complete pour. If you pour multiple slabs, they will shift and heave independent of one another.

The proper depth of a joint is 0.25 of the thickness of the concrete. If you have a 4-inch thick driveway slab the joint should be a minimum of 1 inch. Place the joints 2 to 3 times, in feet, based on the thickness of the concrete slab. Hence, a 4-inch thick slab would have joints spaced 8 to 12 feet apart. Proper depth and placement of joints will help to prevent cracking.

Drainage:

Providing adequate drainage is fundamental to the overall driveway design. The driveway, when complete, should have a minimum of a 0.25-inch per foot slope. The drainage should be considered when first preparing the sub-grade. If an adequate drainage slope cannot be provided because of surrounding buildings, you may have to consider the installation of a drain to collect water.

Use a laser level to set the slope of the forms.

Reinforcement:

Reinforcement does not prevent cracking. What reinforcement does is to reduce cracking and hold the slab together in the event of cracking.

For reinforcement, you can use wire mesh or steel bars (rebar) placed in a grid pattern. If rebar is used you must tie the joints together where individual bars meet. The reinforcing wire or bars must end up in the middle of the concrete slab and not rest on the surface of the sub-grade. To accomplish this you can rest the mesh or bars on stones or pieces of brick and then after the pour pull the wire mesh up and into the poured concrete.

Finishing:

To finish the slab you must use a bull-float. It is important that you allow the water on top of the concrete to evaporate before you start the finishing operation. Failure to do so can result in a weak surface area because of trapped surface water.

Are you already taking antioxidant multivitamin capsules? If not, it’s time you consider doing so. Recent studies show that no matter how healthy your lifestyle is, you cannot escape free radicals which cause diseases and aging. You need to boost your body’s antioxidants to fight these free radicals. And while there is no substitute for an exercise program and healthy meals, you may still need supplementation in order to win the battle.

How antioxidant multivitamin capsules can help

Antioxidant multivitamin capsules reportedly slow down the aging process and protect against certain diseases. The medical community has not fully embraced this diagnosis yet, but it is gaining momentum (and fast). The best way to get antioxidants is still through a balanced diet, but in cases when this is impossible, supplements may be second best.

Should you take an antioxidant multivitamin capsule?

If you are part of the majority of Americans who are not getting enough antioxidants because of unplanned meals and irregular work schedules, then you should ask your doctor about supplementation. Antioxidant multivitamin capsules (especially high-quality ones from GMP-compliant manufacturers) can augment your daily diet by letting you meet your requirements for natural vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, carotenoids (such as beta-carotene), and selenium. Together, these antioxidants destroy harmful free radicals to help protect you from stroke, cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses linked to aging.

If I do not want to take antioxidant multivitamin capsules, what are my other choices?

If your current medical condition (example: pregnancy) prohibits you from taking antioxidant supplements, you can fill your diet with antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables instead. Plan your meals ahead to make sure you are getting 100% of the recommended daily intake of antioxidants.

When choosing vegetables, remember this simple formula: the greener, the better. Dark green vegetables contain the most antioxidants, especially when not cooked (just make sure to wash them before putting them in your salad). Heat destroys some of the vegetables’ vitamins, so avoid cooking them as much as you can. Adding olive oil and dressing do not hurt, though.

The key to getting all of the antioxidants you need without taking antioxidant multivitamin capsules is to be conscious of the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) of the food you are taking. ORAC determines the antioxidant potential of a certain food. The higher its ORAC, the better it is for your body.

Foods that have high ORAC include prunes, beets, berries, bell peppers, raisins, oranges, yellow corn, grapes, cherries, eggplants, spinach, onions, Brussels sprouts, and broccoli, among others. Find a way to incorporate these foods into your diet and you should get enough antioxidants even without supplementation.

Benefits of Antioxidants

Let us briefly look into the benefits of antioxidants before we address antioxidant foods.

First, what are antioxidants?

Antioxidants neutralize free radicals and stop them from impairing our cells. Free radicals are highly reactive chemical substances that can cause cellular damage if left unchecked, leading to premature aging and disease.

In fact, many health experts believe that one of the most prominent causes of destructive diseases is the damage of free radicals. Deadly diseases like the cardiovascular disease which can grow about to cause heart attacks and cancer and even are killing people in the western world, are a pert of this effect. More surprisingly, some experts have hypothesized the aging process as a result of the free radical damage.

Antioxidants are powerful substances that are capable of diminishing the free radicals before they damage your cells.

This forms the base for the recent hype in the publicity of antioxidants. Antioxidants have been discussed vigorously in the media and health professionals are advising their patients to include in their diet, foods that are rich in antioxidants.

Antioxidant foods

Which foods high in antioxidants?

Vegetables are high in antioxidants content and this probably is not a surprise. Tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers etc are all excellent sources.

The spotlight is on eating fruits and vegetables that have rich color tones. The reason is that, such foods are rich in what are known as phytonutrients.

Phytonutrients are often mistaken to be vitamins and/or minerals. But the truth is that they are in a broader sense Pigments, or more precisely, they are a pigment’s biologically active constituents. The skin of vegetables and fruits contain this concentrated nutrient. This nutrient is responsible for their color, hue, scent, and flavor. Phytonutrients are the best antioxidant foods that exist in nature.

Recent clinical trials have revealed that this nutrient can boost the strength of your immune system, and also may assist in preventing certain types of cancer.

So, next time you’re walking through the produce aisle, remember the thumb rule; the deeper and richer the color of the fruit or vegetable, the more is the phytonutrient content. Therefore, if you are choosing between white and red onions, get the red ones. If you are choosing between green grapes and red grapes, go for the red ones. Same with the peppers, instead of green peppers, try yellow, orange, purple, or red.

Blueberries and bilberries are very rich in phytonutrients and so are the best antioxidant foods.

Organic Fruits and Vegetables are Better

On the contrary, we also have a problem with the mass commercialized fruits and veggies. They are produced using chemical pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers.
Organically produced fruits and vegetables are proven to have higher quantities of antioxidants in them. They even have a higher concentration, compared to their commercialized counterparts.

One of such studies was published in the 2003 Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. This study resulted in proving that the plants grown organically had hugely additional polyphenol content than those grown conventionally, while, polyphenols are naturally occurring antioxidants.

The results of an analysis of a range of antioxidant foods in Canada, was quite shocking. This study included foods like potatoes, tomatoes, bananas, apples, onion, broccoli etc, and was commissioned by

The Globe and Mail and CTV news.

Consider potatoes as an example. This is what the analysis concluded: Over the last 50 years the potato has lost 100% of its Vitamin A, 57% of its Vitamin C and iron, 28% of its Calcium, 50% of its riboflavin and 18% of its thiamine. At the end, is any nutrient still present in the potatoes today?
Of the seven nutrients analyzed only the nutrient niacin’s levels had increased. The results were similar for all the 25 fruits and vegetables tested. One of the worst results was from broccoli in which ALL nutrients had declined significantly including niacin with Calcium down by 63%.

Bottom line? The nutrients and vitamins (which are themselves antioxidants) are declining sharply in commercialized fruits and veggies.

So, in order to ensure that you and your family get the best antioxidant foods, make sure you buy only organic fruits and vegetables! Your local farmer’s market would be a great place.
