Reading PLU codes of fruit and vegetables to find gmos


  Next time you your shopping and buy some fruit, make sure to check the PLU code for it can tell you a great deal of information to help be a healthier being. Iv done allot of reading on this because I personally believe gmos and unnecessary pesticides are a bad thing and are detrimental to the vessels health. For those who also believe this or are interested in it then those little code stickers on fruit you buy are called PLU codes. They can inform you if its organic, Genetically Modified, or even conveniently grown which is fancy for what they call the standard form of growing which can involve pesticides, forms of herbicieds, fungicieds, hormones, and more.
   I was on the International federation For Produce (IFPS) and in its 20 or so page document on PLU codes it has allot of the information you will need to start reading these labels correctly. Acordding to what I have read in that and other sources, codes starting in 3 or 4 can indicate it was grown conveniently, 8 indicates its a Genetically Modified Organism, and 9 indicates its was grown organically. So for those interested keep an eye out for eating  healthy is one of many parts to a healthier being. Avoid codes on fruit and veggies starting with 8 and even 3 and 4 if you can, if not, take the peal of what ever it is and throw it away and wash the fruit or veggie thoroughly before eating.
Lets keep this temple healthy.
Peace.

Eggs for the Soul

If any of you are like me and absolutely love eggs in the morning, or even in general. I have some tips Iv learned that is beneficial to know for a healthier being. First, you should avoid frying eggs in anyway from scrambled to suny side up, because when you fry an egg it's exposed to a lot more air and direct heat then you want. By exposing it to the air and heat like that you can easily oxidize the fat and cholesterol which is detrimental to a Healthy being. Study's have shown oxidized cholesterol and fat Have been linked to diabetes and Heart disease by confusing your body to think its bacteria and also entering your blood stream, ending with a lot of inflammation, which a lot of people confuse for all Cholesterol. When in fact cholesterol has been shown to be very important to our systems building blocks and to help become a healthier vessel. So next time you go to have eggs try boiling them or poaching them, because when it's poached or boiled it's not introduced to all that air and direct heat ruining everything good in the egg you need. Doing this you can save the cholesterol from oxidizing and making it extremely lower in  fat and calories, as well helping stimulate different function of your brain. Eggs prepared correctly have also shown to contain antioxidants that help protect your eyes and memory, so try avoiding fried eggs, but if you can't resist then try lowering the temperature a little as well as using real butter and try avoiding the spread easy or most oil when frying an egg. Keep up that healthy vessel.
Peace.
