Your Turn: How many servings of Fruit and Veggies do you get a day?
Posted on Feb 22nd 2008 10:26AM by Martha EdwardsFiled Under: Your Turn
Once upon a time, someone tried to sell me some supplements that promised to give me the vitamins and nutrients that fruits and vegetables give me, all in a once-a-day pill form. 'But I already eat plenty of fruits and vegetables,' was my reply. They countered with, 'Are you getting 10 servings a day? Because if you're not, you should be taking these.' I assured them that I was and therefore really didn't need what they were selling.
Since then, though, I've been really careful to make sure I'm getting my fruits and veggies every day. I don't always get 10, but I try to get at least five, in order to stay true to my word, and true to my health.
I'm curious, do you always get the recommended daily amount of fruits and veggies?

| 7 to 10 -- I can't get enough of them! | |
|---|---|
| 5 to 7 -- I eat a lot of produce | |
| 3 to 5 -- I try to get a serving with every meal and some snacks too | |
| 1 to 3 -- I eat some veggies with dinner and that's about it | |
| None. Veggies are yucky. |
