Living a busy lifestyle and working in an office can make it difficult to find lunches that don’t need to be reheated. Unfortunately microwaves not only deplete nutrition from your food (Supported by Dr. Mercola) but they can also change the makeup of your blood (Supported by Dr. Mercola)

Eating fresh ingredients is important for sport performance. The fresher the fruit and vegetables the higher the nutrient density will be. This is important because food has been modified over the years to withstand transportation and your body won’t absorb all of the nutrients that you are eating.
