Weekly Nutrition Tip #6
Tip #6
The Organic Debate
by Dr. John Berardi
The average person should consume two pieces of fruit and three servings of vegetables per day as a minimum. Athletes probably need even more - I recommend 10-15 servings per day for each of my athletes. Expert often spend too much time arguing about organic vs. regular fruits and veggies. I agree that raw, organic fruits and vegetables are best since they have a higher micronutrient count, but any fruits and veggies are better than none! Get sufficient fruits and vegetables in your diet before worrying about whether they’re organic or not. Once you’ve done that, worry on.

I have no problem getting the RDA for veges as I love most all of em…but I hate fruit of all kinds…I can stomach an apple if it’s smothered in Peanut Butter….which is a little higher in fat than is necessary…LOL

Thanks for the comment, Tommy.
I typically have problems getting the recommended amount of vegetables, and I’m not really the biggest fan of fruit. It seems to upset my stomach or cause my insulin to spike too high. I am working on the vegetables, though.
