Eating raw fruits and vegetables are a core foundation for holistic weight loss and living a healthy lifestyle. When choosing your fruit or vegetable look for these three things:
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.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.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.Local produce contain nutrition, bacteria and minerals local to your region that your body needs 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.
