Fresh is Best

While the value of cleaning our plates is certainly debatable, there is no question that we should eat our vegetables! However, we have shown that because of the nutrient losses in many of our foods today (including fruits and vegetables), our modern diets may be deficient. What can we do? We can plant a garden every summer and try to take the time to visit our local farmers' market. Farmers' markets can be a great source of fresh, locally grown, vine-ripened produce. These markets can also be a source of heirloom vegetables that have not been genetically selected for marketing purposes and may therefore contain more nutrients. If we are obliged to rely primarily on grocery store produce, we can strive to purchase the freshest foods possible (preferably locally grown), check expiration dates, boil vegetables the minimum amount of time in a small amount of water, save this water to use for soup stocks, keep frozen foods cold enough, and try to eliminate our dependence on processed foods. Whole foods are always the best choice because they contain a veritable cornucopia of nutrients. These are worthwhile efforts! Small increases in fruit and vegetable consumption have been shown to significantly influence health outcomes. Nevertheless, because our lifestyles dictate that we rely on many foods that have been cooked or otherwise processed, dietary supplementation makes sense for most people.
