Hello everyone. The benefits of seasonal vegetables and fruits to our health are endless. We all now know that each vegetable and fruit has its own benefits for our body and that they are stores of vitamins and minerals that our body needs. So, what kind of harm do the foods we consume out of season cause to our body? Let's examine it together.
Nowadays, with the increasing technology, we can find all vegetables and fruits in greengrocers, on market shelves, in short, wherever we want. Unfortunately, hormone supplements, chemicals used, pesticides, candles, etc. in the consumption of untimely grown vegetables and fruits. It is very dangerous for our body. For this reason, the nutritional value of vegetables and fruits consumed out of season is quite low. In addition, since it is grown out of season, it is also costly. For all these reasons, consuming seasonal vegetables and fruits is both healthier and more economical for our body. You can consume canned or frozen foods that are not available fresh.
In fact, the characteristics of fruits and vegetables change according to the characteristics of each season. For this reason alone, it is very important to consume foods according to the season. For example, our immunity generally decreases in winter, and if we are not careful, it is a season when diseases do not leave us alone due to cold weather. When we look at the general characteristics of winter vegetables and fruits, we see that they are immune boosters and have high vitamin C content. Autumn and winter vegetables, which need a long growth and development process, provide more calories and heat. Summer vegetables, which are in a fast-growing period, are cooler and provide fewer calories. In other words, we need to cool down in summer and warm up in winter, to adapt and resist environmental conditions in this way. We can meet this need by consuming seasonal vegetables and fruits.
