Dear lybrate-user, the best food to consume is raw vegetables & fruits - if you worry about pesticides & other things buy from a trusted/ organic outlet and wash them thoroughly before consuming. Also what cooking does to those pesticide is not clear bu anyways destroys the good nutrients in them. So, more the raw diet more healthy your metabolism will be.
