how low the prices usually are, it is easy to see how easy to reach this daily goal really is.
One great way to get the nutrients you need from fruits and vegetables every day is to take
full advantage of the variety of these foods available. Eating the same thing every day
quickly becomes boring, so why not pick a variety of fruits and vegetables, in every color of
the rainbow and in every conceivable shape, size and texture, to give yourself a varied diet
every day.
When shopping for fruits and vegetables, it is important to choose a variety of different
colors. This is for more than purely artistic reasons. Different color fruits and vegetables
have different types of nutrients, and choosing a variety of colors will help ensure you get all
the vitamins and minerals you need each and every day.
Finding new recipes is another great way to ensure you get those five to nine servings of
fruits and vegetables every day. Everyone likes to try out new recipes, and these new
recipes may just provide the impetus you need to eat all those fruits and veggies.
Many people mistakenly think that they do not need to eat five to nine servings of fruits and
vegetables every day if they just take a vitamin supplement. Actually, nothing could be
further from the truth. That is because fruits and vegetables contain far more than the
micronutrients identified by science and synthesized in vitamin pills. While these
micronutrients, such as vitamin C, vitamin A and vitamin E are important to good health, so
too are the hundreds of other elements that are contained in healthy foods like fruits and
vegetables. These elements are not available in any pill, they must be ingested through a
healthy, balanced diet that contains plenty of fruits and vegetables.
In addition, fruits and vegetables are much less costly than vitamin pills. Fruits and
vegetables are very inexpensive, especially when purchased in season and grown locally. In
the long run, getting the nutrition you need from the food you eat is much less expensive,
and much better for you, than popping those vitamin pills every day.
So don’t forget to get your five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables every day. It may
seem like a lot, but you can meet this quite reasonable goal simply by including fruits and
vegetables as snacks, as garnishes, as side dishes and as meals.
