In the world that we live in, there are vast amounts of fruits and veggies.Which ones are the best?It’s actually not that complicated.I’ve come up with 3 easy to follow steps to ensure that the best fruit or vegetable has been picked.On another note, be sure that you get a variety. People always have their favorite two or three that they always eat.This will ensure that you can obtain the widest variety of vitamins and minerals. Eating raw fruits and vegetables are a core foundation for holistic weight loss and living a healthy lifestyle. If you are wanting to find the best fruits and vegetables, look for these 3 factors:
1.Left on the vine until it is ripe:50% of the vitamins and minerals go into the fruit or vegetable when it ripens on the vine or tree.Fruits and Vegetables are picked early when they are still green. They then get sprayed with chemicals so that they will ripen as they are shipped.
2. Organic:Studies have shown that an organic fruit or vegetable has 13x more nutrition than an inorganic one.In addition, organic produce isn’t sprayed with dangerous insecticides and herbicides. Studies actually show that these chemicals leach into the skin and flesh of conventional fruits and vegetables.
3. Local:Fruits & vegetables that are farmed locally is the most beneficial to your body and your health.This is because there are local bacteria, nutrients, and other micro-organisms that you need to have tolerance to.If you go to Mexico and wind up with “Montezuma’s revenge” then you understand what I’m talking about. Your body isn’t used to the local bacteria.
By understanding these three key points, you can get the most nutrition out of your produce which directly helps you in your anti-aging process and indirectly helps with your holistic weight loss efforts.
