Thanks to advancement in technologies and methods of food processing, most fruits are available all through the year. But studies conducted across the world suggest that fruits and vegetables picked in season are higher in nutrition value than those that have a longer shelf life, which use abundant amount of chemicals and other methods of food preservation. Says fitness professional Neeraj Mehta, Director and Technical head of GFFI Fitness Academy, Andheri, “Fruits that have been imported lack in nutritional value, as they have been preserved for a long time, before they reach us. On the other hand, fruits which reach us within a few days of getting plucked, have a higher content of vitamins and minerals.” Mehta says they often suggest colour therapy to their clients, which includes helpings of three-four fruits and threefour vegetables of different colours. “But they have to be in season,” he adds.
