I have a theory...

So I have this new theory. It involves food and all started with a weeklong fruit and vegetable juice fast. For one week we whipped up nothing but raw fruits and veggies in our Ninja. And I'll have to say that I've never felt better. My husband and I both did it and had tons of energy. I took some pretty gross looking (and tasting) sludge to work with me and my revelation came when I went to rinse the plastic containers out. They were so clean because there was nothing but good stuff in them that I had no need to even wash them. Made me think about how they did much the same inside my body. Think about the heavy, oily residue that our leftover dinner for lunch often leaves on the inside of our plastic containers. That's what it's going to leave on the inside of you too. Believe me I'm not saying this from a preachy place. We all have to splurge sometimes and indulge a little. But I just thought it was an interesting way to gauge the 'damage' the things we put in our body could be doing.

Below is a picture of the container I took some homemade chicken tortilla soup in. Minimal oil. Check out the recipe at saucyitalian.blogspot.com
