"Head to the farmers' market or a grocery store that specialises in fresh produce and pick up what is fresh and season-appropriate. Buying in-season ensures your body is getting its nutrients from fresh, healthy sources," Alexon says.
You're more likely to eat healthier if you eat in season, according to the American Heart Association, because fruits and veggies tend to be more flavourful, since they haven't had to undergo preservation of any kind. That means things like squash in the Fall, tomatoes and green beans in the Summer, and fresh greens all year. "Buy in bulk and meal prep, and you can save a lot of money and calories," Alexon says.
