Hello!

I want to get the most nutrients from the food I eat. I know a lot
about nutrition, but one thing I've always been confused about is
STORAGE TIME.

I wonder about how (and if) the nutrients decrease when the food is
stored for days or weeks.

for example:

-Apples, cabbage, yams, carrots etc - They last for weeks (sometimes
months) in the fridge.  Are they gradually losing their nutrients? Is an
apple eaten the day I buy it, healthier than eating it a few weeks later?

-Green Tea - all those great nutrients - I usually make it, then store it
in fridge and drink it cold, over the following few days.
Do all those nutrients decline because of the storage, a day later?

Any thoughts on this would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

-Mike
