Fruits and vegetables for Better Health.

Fruits and vegetables are essential food items for good health. But these days, for earning fast money some farmers are injecting vegetables, watering vegetables and fruits with waste water of metro cities which is having many harmful chemicals and is not good for watering plants. Fruits are plucked from the plants before they are properly rotten, and are sold in the market. Fruits such as apple are polished so that they look like rotten and bananas are rotten by spreading some medicine on them.

Then use only organic food or grow your own garden. Even in flats nowadays fruits are grown.

 

Injecting vegetables and polishing fruits is more practiced in metro cities where consumption of fruits and vegetables is more. Demand is more than supply, so people use these shortcuts to meet their supply and get more profit.

Unscrupulous traders go to any length to sell their product. Health of the people is the last word in their trade.

 

Unless one is able to grow ones own vegetables there is little choice left since we are totally dependent on either super markets or green grocers.In my town we have Christian ladies who we call baima  bringing vegetables and fruits like papayas, guavas and local fruits like cashew and star fruit from nearby villages , using only organic manure ...But it is a limited quantity and unless yo are there on time you will not get anything, such is the demand !

till in village fairs quality fruits and veggies are available. But one has to undertake a painful journey to reach them. But they are worth.

 

If we go to buy fruits and vegetables from villages, not only we can buy fresh things but also at a cheaper rate than the market rate. It also helps the farmers to get good rates of their vegetables and fruits, as the mediators who buy vegetables from farmers at very low rates and then sell to shopkeepers in the market with some profit, then the shopkeepers sell those items to us at increased rate.

The added advantage is farmers use natural compost as their fertilizers. Hence they are free from chemicals and pesticides.

Undoubtedly, fvegetables and fruits are main diet of humans. So these are essential for human health. 

Fruits and vegetables have become a Regular in my diet chart. Though I'm a non-vegetarian, I prefer fruits and vegetables for a sound health.

Even non vegetarians eat lots of vegetables and fruits and in most households meat is eaten only during weekends...Fish and sea food too has become very expensive now, so even regular eaters now eat it sparingly..In fact including lots of greens and pulses in our meals is an even more healthier option rather than eating just vegetables and fruits

I'm a non-vegetarian. But I give all importance to a Diet consisting of Pulses, veggies, fruits and vegetables. I eat raw food too. I occasionally eat chicken. More fish and never meat. I'm hale and healthy. Work 12 hours a day without any signs of tiredness and fatigue.
