The natural cycle of produce is perfectly designed to support our health. Apples grow in the fall – they are the perfect transition food helping the body get rid of excess heat and cool down before winter. In the spring the abundance of leafy greens help us alkalize, detox and loose some extra pounds after a long winter of heavier foods. In the summer we need to cool down and stay hydrated by eating more fruits and veggies like the ones in this picture. Building a lifestyle around seasonal food facilitates the body’s natural healing process.
Seasonal food is also grown without too much added human assistance (such as pesticides). By allowing your food to fully develop and ripen in the sun, they will have higher antioxidant and nutritional values. So, support your seasonal needs by enjoying these fresh fruits and veggies!
