Health Tip of the Day.

Eat Your Fruit and Vegetables

Buying fresh fruits and vegetables are your best source of nutrients but sometimes can get expensive because they can go bad quickly and you end you throwing some away. But fruits and vegetables are also available canned or frozen. Since they are canned or frozen soon after they are harvested, many of their nutrients are maintained and some ways of processing (i.e., heat processing used for sweet corn) boost antioxidant activity. Look for brands made from organically grown produce. Choose canned fruit that is packed in its own natural juices or water, rather than in syrups that add sugar and increase empty calories.
