1:02

to the Nutrition Diva podcast I'm

1:05

your host Monica right? and today

1:07

show was prompted by an email

1:09

from Larry who asks. While.

1:11

Most produce is available year round,

1:13

these days might there be a

1:16

health advantage to eating produce seasonally

1:18

as our ancestors. Eating.

1:21

Seasonally can add fun and

1:23

variety to our menus. In

1:25

the spring we saber those

1:27

early spring greens, radishes, scallions

1:29

and peas. And. Then in

1:32

the early summer we enjoy beats

1:34

and strawberries and asparagus. A

1:36

summer goes on, we gorge on

1:38

cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, zucchini, corn, and

1:41

peaches. and then in the fall

1:43

we turn to the cool weather

1:45

Crops, apples, carrots, broccoli, and pumpkins.

1:48

But. For. Those of us who

1:51

live in cooler climates. There's. Not

1:53

a whole lot to harvest between

1:55

the last fall pumpkins and the

1:57

early spring piece. Does. That mean

1:59

we shouldn't. Eat vegetables in the winter. What

2:01

about the string beans and the tomatoes that

2:03

we may have canned over the summer? Would

2:06

getting them out in January break the rules?

2:08

And there are lots of nutritious fruits

2:11

and vegetables that are never in season

2:13

where I live things like or caught

2:15

us and oranges and all is so.

2:17

Can I only enjoy these when I

2:20

visit California or Mexico? or. Greece.

2:23

My. Point is that for most of

2:25

us, it would be impractical to eat

2:27

only seasonal fruits and vegetables all year

2:30

round. Moreover, I'm

2:32

not at all sure that eating

2:34

strictly with the seasons necessarily ensures

2:36

the best nutrition. Now,

2:39

eating seasonally may also imply eating

2:41

locally, choosing foods that are currently

2:43

being harvested in your area. And

2:46

because you may be eating these

2:48

foods closer to when they were

2:51

harvested, they may offer superior. Nutrition

2:53

texture and flavor. And

2:56

eating locally also promises to decrease

2:58

greenhouse gas emissions because the food

3:00

requires less transport and storage and

3:03

it's a boost for local farmers

3:05

and economies. Are

3:07

you might think that eating and season

3:10

would also be cheaper seeing as you

3:12

would reduce the overhead costs associated with.

3:14

Storage. And transport of the produce. However,

3:17

This is not always the case. Small.

3:20

Farms don't have anywhere near

3:22

the economy of scale that

3:24

big operations do, so that

3:26

local fresh picked peach may

3:28

well cost you more than

3:30

the frozen teaches at the

3:32

grocery store. Know. That

3:34

it wouldn't be worth every penny. I'm

3:36

just saying that the idea that buying

3:38

only local seasonal produce is gonna save

3:41

you tons of money is kind of

3:43

a romantic notion. And.

3:46

You know, the growth of hydroponic

3:48

farming has also really changed what

3:50

foods might be grown in your

3:52

local area and when because they

3:55

can artificially control the length of

3:57

the day and the air temperature

3:59

hydra. Hundred farmers are also

4:01

effectively freed from the constraints

4:04

of traditional growing seasons. They.

4:06

Can grow local tomatoes in January

4:08

and spinach in July if they

4:10

want to. And for

systems such as I Are or

often recommend specific seasonal foods such

as the bitter greens that grow

6:39

it might seem that foods that

6:41

make you p more are cleansing

6:43

your kidneys in actuality these foods

6:45

or simply increasing the amount of

6:47

sodium and water that's being excluded

6:49

in the urine. Your

6:51

body's the trucks, the case

6:53

and pathways and organs work

6:55

year round to break down

6:57

and remove toxins and impurities

6:59

and your blood and your

7:01

tissues. And eating a

7:04

lot of fresh vegetables. As. Well

7:06

as cutting back on sugar,

7:08

alcohol and other junk food

7:10

is good for your whole

7:12

body and supports all your

7:14

organs. but in my opinion

7:17

your organs don't need or

7:19

benefit from seasonal cleansing. Something.

7:22

Else I want to say about the potential

7:25

nutritional benefits of seasonal eating. Even

7:27

if we are eating seasonally and

7:29

locally, some amount of nutrient loss

7:32

is inevitable. But this is not

7:34

as big a deal as you

7:36

might think. Even. If

7:38

fresh veggies lose some of their

7:40

nutritional content on their journey from

7:42

the farm to your table, rest

7:44

assured they are so highly. Nutritious

7:47

foods. Freezing and

7:49

canning vegetables also allows us to

7:51

enjoy foods out of season or

7:53

very far from where they're grown

7:55

and again, although some nutrients may

7:58

be lost along the way, you

8:00

are still getting plenty of good

8:02

nutrition from them. In. That

8:04

freezing foods shortly after their harvested

8:06

may actually preserve more of the

8:09

nutritional value and shipping them off

8:11

to the local farmer's market? But

8:14

this isn't something that we need

8:16

to worry too much about. In

8:19

fact, the recommendations for how many

8:21

fruits and vegetables he should try

8:23

to eat assumes that some of

8:25

that produce may be canned or

8:27

frozen or cooked or stored. The.

8:30

Inevitable nutrient losses have already been

8:32

factored in. So focused on getting

8:34

this five servings a day, and

8:36

you really don't need to worry

8:38

that much about the rest. So.

8:41

Here's my bottom line: Unseasonal eating.

8:43

I think it's a great idea

8:46

to buy as much local seasonal

8:48

produce as you can find and

8:50

can afford. And. It

8:52

is fun to enjoy the different

8:54

fruits and vegetables as they come

8:56

in and out of season, but

8:58

I certainly wouldn't hesitate to round

9:00

your choices out as needed. It's

9:02

with frozen or can't produce or

9:05

any fresh produce that looks appealing

9:07

and is a good value regardless

9:09

of where or when it was

9:11

grown. And. Finally, I wouldn't

9:13

avoid a fruit or vegetable simply for

9:15

the sake of eating with the seasons.
