Be honest -- How many servings of veg do you get a day?

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Celebs & Entertainment, Nutrition & Supplements

By now, we should all be aware that we're supposed to be getting our five to 10 servings of fruit and veggies a day. But how many of us are actually eating that amount? No enough, according to this article from the Daily Mail. Only one in eight people in Britain are getting five servings a day. The average was 2.5 servings, and 12% of participants didn't get any produce during the day.

If you're not getting enough fruit and veggies in your diet, you're only hurting yourself, so if you want to look and feel your best, take steps to work fresh produce into your eating habits. It's not hard -- order a salad on the side instead of fries, have a vegetable cocktail like V8 instead of a coke, or choose to snack on an apple instead of chips. You owe it to yourself.
