Fruit and veggie advice: Just eat more
Posted on Sep 4th 2008 7:30AM by Jacki DonaldsonConfused about how many fruits and veggies to eat in a day? You should be, because the number keeps changing. First, it was five a day. Then, five to nine. Now the message has changed again. This time, though, it's a little easier to understand.
Just eat more.
If you're currently getting only one serving of produce a day, go for two. If you can make it three, even better. Don't count. Just eat.
Scientists say fruits and vegetables promote good health. In more exact terms, they reduce hypertension and coronary heart disease, lower the risk of diabetes and several types of cancer, ward off macular degeneration, and assist in weight loss. I, for one, don't need any more evidence to support what I should be doing -- eating more! How about you?
