If you eat beef, know how to read the labels. Grass-fed cows do not eat high-energy grain, so they're leaner than grain-fed cows. They also contain more omega-3 fats, vitamin A, and vitamin E. However, the grass might have pesticides and they might get antibiotics. Organic beef comes from cows that eat 100 percent organic grain or grass. These cows don't get antibiotics or hormones, and are free to roam. Do you care about both? Buy grass-fed organic beef.

Apart from the great taste, coconut oil provides a number of health benefits when consumed in food. Antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, and antimicrobial effects of coconut oil boosts immunity. It is easily digestible, as the healthy fat in it increases good cholesterol. Coconut oil stabilizes blood sugar by encouraging efficient secretion of insulin. Also, it fights inflammation, balances hormones, boosts metabolism, and treats Alzheimer's. Because of its high smoke point, you can use coconut oil for cooking at high heat, baking to replace unhealthy fats, sauteing, heating and serving, and adding to your coffee.

Dark meat fish (tuna, mackerel, sardines, salmon) tend to have high levels of less-harmful organic arsenic. Mushrooms and rice absorb high levels of inorganic arsenic from contaminated soil. Groundwater gets contaminated when it flows through arsenic rocks. Cook rice in more water and drain the water, avoid tobacco and contaminated foods, and spread the lethal alert!
