Hey welcome back, I'm Dr Joe of TheDrJoe.com What's this video about? It's about how
to reduce pesticides in your food
how to reduce pesticides in your food. You're not gonna get rid of all the pesticides in your fruits and veg
Because it's impossible. What you can do though, is reduce the level of pesticides in your food produce.
Now, how do you do that? Well that's what this video is about. It's a very short demonstration and I'm gonna
It's a very simple one as well, and I'm gonna demonstrate it very shortly
But before that why do you have to reduce the level of pesticides in your food? Well for two reasons. One is, pesticides have been
Demonstrated to be harmful to human health so you need to bring their levels down
Secondly, in actual fact, when you use this technique that I'm gonna demonstrate for you. You actually increase the shelf life of your food produce
So you know your food stay fresher. Without wasting much time, let's go ahead and show you
What you need to do to reduce the level of pesticides in your fruits and veggies. I've got some fruits
I haven't got any veg in this video, but the same principle applies, okay
So let's go. This video is about the steps
You can take to reduce the level of pesticides in your fruits and veg. I haven't got any veggies here but, I've got some fruits. I've got
Some grapes here that you can see. I've got some
raspberries
Blueberries,.I've got some blueberries. So,
It's very simple method you can use to reduce the level of pesticides in your food is to just wash them
so essentially I'm just gonna demonstrate that with the blueberries. All you need to do is put them in a strainer and
you put them in a sink and
you wash them
The pesticides you've got on the skin
will eventually
Fade away as you wash them. So, this is very easy. Anybody can do this. People always ask me...
Why don't you eat fruits directly after you've bought them. Well, I won't...because?
as you know the methods of farming that we use these days a lot of pesticides are used and
You just need to do this and you wash them off. So, this will remove most of the pesticides
But it's not effective enough. Using water alone is not effective enough. So, what can you do next?
What you can do next is using?
this magic
ingredient here. Apple cider vinegar, apple cider vinegar
You can also use white vinegar. It doesn't matter apple cider vinegar is what I use. What you just need to do is
Step 1: You put the
the fruits that you want to wash, I'm going to demonstrate with these grapes. Put them in the bowl and then
you add
water
You add water to cover the whole of the fruits and
Then you add
Vinegar. Usually the distribution is; one part of vinegar to four parts of water
So this is what I've got here for this amount of food or fruits and water here
Is all in there you just add it on shake it up
Make sure all the fruits are completely covered and
you just cover it up and leave it for about 20 minutes. Leave it for about 20 minutes and
so we've just got to do that. We're gonna leave it for about 20 minutes, and I will come back and
I'll show you the next step. Right, so you've left the fruits to soak in the mixture of water and vinegar
For about 20 minutes, you can leave it for 30 minutes or longer if you like
So you come back the fruits are completely submerged
In the mixture of the apple cider vinegar and the water and so what you just need to do next it's very easy
essentially you just need to rinse off the
mixture of the apple cider vinegar and
Water from the vegetables, so you just pour the fruits in a strainer
as you can see me doing there
It's up to you. You can actually eat it the way it is
But I think the best thing to do if you really want to get rid of the pesticides. It makes sense for you to actually
Just rinse off the fruits. Okay, so you run water over them again?
Thoroughly
Mix them up just to make sure that you get all of the pesticides off
Run the water some more
Allow it to  drain
Drain
That's it. You know your fruits are ready for you to eat. Here I am
So, I have washed these grapes. So, I'm just going to munch some.
