Answer 3

Raw, local, unpasteurized honey(has natural antibiotics,supplied by the bees, to keep the honey from rotting in the hive),

loose green tea (go to an oriental store, ask for frozen,loose green tea-it may come from Japan, Korea (both have the finest teas)),

buy foods (veggies,fruit, beans,ect.) from a local farmer's market,

buy extra-virgin olive oil or fish oil pills (health food stores),

buy unsweetened grape juice.

The brands for these foods really don't matter; just try to find foods that are natural and the freshest.

All the best to you.

Well I know everyone else is going to say fresh organic fruits and veges, but my biggest recommendation after those is my Organic Himilayan Krystal Salt. The stuff is amazing and has more minerals and benefits than I could list. Regular table salt is horrible for you. Its just highly refined sodium chloride leading to all of the well known undesirable side effects. Table salt causes the body to retain water, causing swelling, edema, and cellulite. In my opinion the best salt to use is a natural mineral salt. I have tried many, but the one I have come to like the most is Himalayan Salt. It has almost all of the essential minerals that your body needs and they occur naturally, no added c**p. Here is a link to the website where I get mine. I hope this helps you. I know it has helped me. Many Blessings.

Answer 6

Organic peanut butter is really, really yummy. I bought chunky organic, and it is super easy to spread, doesn't tear up the bread the way normal chunky peanut butter does. Organic apples are really good, too. Honestly, most of the items I've tried organic have been better than non-organic. Trader Joe's has an organic iced tea lemonade drink that is awesome. Organic cheese is really good, too. I look for sales at the grocery stores because sometimes, with the sales, the organic stuff is the same price, or less, than the non-organic items. Remember to look for items with a USDA Organic seal.
