What Do I Look For In Fruits And Vegetables?

By Robert | June 7, 2009

There is a huge variety of fruits and vegetables to choose from.Which ones are the best?The answer is simple.I’ve come up with 3 easy to follow steps to ensure that the best fruit or vegetable has been picked.Side note: people have a tendency to eat 2 or 3 different vegetables and fruits all the time. Make sure that you are always eating a variety and trying new things.Your body will thank you 1000 times over. 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:Fifty percent of the nutrients from the plant go into the fruit or vegetable when it is completely vine ripened.Most are picked green and then sprayed so that they ripen when transported.
2. Organic:Research shows that organic fruits and vegetables have thirteen times more vitamins and minerals than conventional produce.Plus since organic isn’t sprayed with pesticides and herbicides, the left over residue doesn’t leach into the flesh of the fruit or vegetable.
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.For a great example of why you should eat local produce, go to a foreign country. What happens if you are not used to their food or water? You end up catching a “bug” that gives you diarrhea or a stomach ache.

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.
