  1. Eat a wide variety of foods

  2. Include plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables on a daily basis.

  3. The nutrient value of fruit and vegetables starts to deteriorate as soon as it harvested so, the fresher the produce, the higher the vitamin and mineral content.

  4. Choose local produce of known origin. Food supply is a truly international business today. It is quite possible for 'fresh' produce to have traveled halfway around the globe from grower, to processor, to packager, to wholesaler and to retailer, losing nutrient value all along the route before it finally gets to you.

  5. Frozen vegetables often retain a higher nutrient content than fresh ones because of the speed with which they are frozen and packaged immediately after being picked.

  6. Store foods correctly. Many foods are degraded by heat and sunlight and require a cool dark place.

  7. Cooking destroys vitamin and mineral content, Eating fruit and vegetables in the raw state overcomes this problem, although this is not always advisable or palatable.

  8. Choose a cooking method such as steaming rather than boiling. Boiling leaches much of the nutrient content from the vegetables

  9. Choose whole and unprocessed foods rather than very refined foods that have lost much of their nutrient content during manufacture.
