Phyto what??? The Importance of Consuming Local Produce

I didn't know that (IDKT) .... Phytonutrient content is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing quality food. You must eat good quality foods as your body won’t be able to digest food and give you back great energy, great metabolism and hence great health without it. Phytonutrients are nutrients that are derived from plants, shown to be necessary for sustaining human life. Without adequate nutrients, your body will demand more food until it gets what it needs. If you think you will get enough nutrients from processed foods, forget about it. Food begins to lose nutrients the moment it is harvested and continues the loss through storage, processing and transportation. This is one of the main reasons it is advised to get as much produce as you can from local sources, organic when possible.

Some resources for finding farms and local markets in your area are:     localharvest.org, farmfresh.org, farmland.org, ams.usda.gov.

Now you know (NYK)!

Pass it along and be A VOICE FOR CHANGE.

Namaste (I bow to you), Donna
