There is a huge variety of fruits and vegetables to choose from.Picking the best ones is always a challenge.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.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.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.Vine ripenedFifty 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: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.Local produce contain nutrition, bacteria and minerals local to your region that your body needs 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.
