In yet another article I read they spoke about buying and eating locally. Not just fruits and veggies but honey, fish, herbs, etc.
They explain that the life force of the foods (and flavor) die out and mix with the odors and poisons (carbon monoxide) of the trucks hauling it.
If u shop at farmers markets or grow your own you not only connect with nature but you can eat the foods that were meant for us to eat seasonally.
Fresh fruits during the summer are abundant and hearty soups and homemade bread during the winter. Canning, freezing, pickling, drying, etc. to help preserve foods for the winter.
Also with more natural foods you feel better, cutting out the preservatives and high sodium packed into our everyday grocery buys brings our bodies down.
This is a lesson that I am learning slowly. Now to get my kids to eat a vegetable...
