The old saying goes, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away", and this most certainly does ring true in reality. Nutritionists and doctors alike would be practically put out of business if people would be obedient to the food pyramid and eat their fruits and vegetables on a daily basis.
Experts recommend an intake of 5-9 servings of fruits and veggies daily, and to the average busy American, this may seem like a lot!
We have no problem filling our diet with carbohydrates, but today is the day to turn that around and get our fill from the garden instead. Eating 5-9 servings is actually quite easy once you allow yourself to get into the habit.
100% fruit juice is a great place to start if you have no direction when it comes to healthy eating. Many fast food restaurants now offer fruit cups and salad as an alternative to fries at no additional cost. Lastly, fresh food is CHEAPER than frozen and processed foods, saving you money at the grocery store!
Eating fruits and veggies on a daily basis reduces your risk significantly for diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. So say goodbye to the pizza and say hello to the path of healthy eating!
