Weekly Nutrition Tip - The Organic Debate
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.

Going for a purely organic diet was never a problem for me because I know that I could eat anything in moderation. Keeping a balance among the food groups is key. However, I didn’t know that 2 servings of fruit and 3 for veggies was the minimum daily requirement. Thank you so much for the tip.
