It's a simple strategy! By including 5 servings of vegetables or fruit in your daily diet you can automatically improve your diet and your health!
Fruits and Vegetables are naturally good for you. They have:
--Very little Fat
--Low Calories
--Zero Cholesterol
--Lots of Fiber
--Plenty of Vitamins and Minerals
and when you are eating five servings of fruits or vegetables each day, you have less room for other foods that might be less nutritious.
People on the go often reach for quick fixes for their hunger...candy bars, fast food, and snack foods. Incorporating more fruit and vegetables into your diet might seem like a big effort... but it doesn't have to be...
Here are some tips on how to incorporate more vegetables into your diet...easily!
1. Start your day with a fruit or vegetable. Try fresh fruit on your cereal or in your oatmeal. Or, add some slices of tomato to your cream cheese bagel. Even a glass of orange juice with your egg counts!
2. Pack a vegetable snack. Instead of reaching for pretzels when you get hungry in the afternoon, reach for an apple or carrot instead.
3. Shop with fruits and vegetables in mind. Keep healthy choices around so that your quick hunger fix is easy to grab!
