Environmental Working Group Shopper's Guide and Snap Fitness Newsletter

I just wanted to share a few things with you Patch readers.  

The first is a shopper's guide from the Environmental Working Group; it warns against pesticides in our produce:

"Eat your fruits and vegetables! The health benefits of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables outweigh the risks of pesticide exposure. Use EWG's Shopper's Guide to Pesticides to reduce your exposures as much as possible, but eating conventionally-grown produce is far better than not eating fruits and vegetables at all. The Shopper's Guide to Pesticide in Produce will help you determine which fruits and vegetables have the most pesticide residues and are the most important to buy organic. You can lower your pesticide intake substantially by avoiding the 12 most contaminated fruits and vegetables and eating the least contaminated produce."

The next thing is the monthly newsletter from . It contains a few fitness and health-related tips, including the bi-weekly personal trainer tips from Lia and Teresa. It is also attached in a .pdf file.
