Do you ever think about the nutritional value of a” good” food you’re eating or about to eat? Well, you may not be getting enough of that healthy value. According to research, it all depends on how long the food has been sitting on the shelf, what it has been exposed to, or just the way it has been stored.
For example, frozen orange juice has double the vitamin C content as the regular one.
Olive oil loses 40% of its vitamin E content after direct exposure to light or sitting next to the stove.
Green tea, if not stored in air-tight container, gives up 32 % of its antioxidants.
Honey, which i thought would last for ages, loses 30-50% of its antioxidant power after 6 months.
Note: These are eye opening facts for you to consider the next time you feed yourself or family these super healthy foods. And make sure to diversify your diet.
