We learn how how important it is and really pretty easy to check out your local farmer’s markets and start eating local from Nicci Micco, Senior Editor of EatingWell magazine. She also shared a lot about eating organic food. What that means. Is it healthier and a lot more.

Did you know that eating organic berries instead of conventional ones can reduce your exposure to pesticides, and recent research suggests that it also may give you a nutrient boost.

According to Marissa Lippert’s, M.S., R.D. article in this month’s Eating Well magazine the bottom line is…“Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables in general [not necessarily organic ones] is the point,” says Alyson Mitchell, Ph.D., an associate professor of food science and technology at University of California, Davis.

If buying all organic isn’t a priority—or a financial reality for you—you might opt for organic specifically when you’re selecting foods that are most heavily contaminated with pesticide and insecticide residues. According to the Environmental Working Group (www.ewg.org), those include peaches, apples, bell peppers, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, lettuce, imported grapes and pears.
