The key to staying healthy is to make sure you balance the food you eat, everybody needs protein, vegetables, and fruits. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables is proven to keep you healthy and increase your lifespan. Getting your fruits and vegetables fresh not only tastes better, but they offer more nutritional value compared to frozen or canned fruits and vegetables. Most common fruits and vegetables found in stores are packaged in cups, stand-up zipper pouches, and pillow pouches. The reason why packaged fruits and vegetables taste better and last longer is due to the protection the material provides along with proper oxygen transmission rates. This slows down the rate of oxidization which makes the product taste bad and spoil faster.
