Getting the Maximum Nutrient Benefits From Fruits and Veggies

Getting the Maximum Nutrient Benefits From Fruits and Veggies 1. Do not refrigerate vegetables and fruits (raw and uncut) for more than two days. Fresh produce is the most nutrient dense.


2. Do not go by the advertisements that show refrigeration slows down loss of nutrients from fruit. It can't stop the process altogether,  and fruits certainly do not get any fresher by refrigerating them for a long time.


3. Eat your fruits whole rather than cutting them into pieces. When exposed to air (oxygen), l vitamins leech out. It also follows that  raw fruits are better for you than commercial juices, canned fruits, and fruit desserts.
