It seems like you can’t read a magazine or newspaper, listen to the news or a talk show, that someone isn’t talking about making sure you eat your fruits and veggies.
Of course, I’ve said my fair share of that as well on this blog. As a Naturopath and Health Coach it is my #1 recommendation to people: EAT MORE VEGETABLES AND FRUITS. Basically, I don’t believe you can get enough. Nature was kind enough to leave us with an abundance of colors, tastes and textures, all with their own unique healing power.
Unfortunately, as I’ve mentioned before, the produce you buy at the store often has had significant travel time, been exposed to various toxins and poisons on the way to you, and has therefore, lost nutritional value.
But what if you can pick your own? I’m not talking about growing your own fruits and vegetables (that would be ideal of course, but few us have the space nor the time!). But what if you could visit a local farm and pick your own from them? Turns out, there are numerous farms throughout the United States that offer this service. Visit www.PickYourOwn.org to find a farm near you where you can visit and pick your own. Also, this helps support a local farmer in your community and best of all, your fruits and vegetables will be FRESH which will help them to be best absorbed and utilized by your body.
