Happy 2015! Start the new year off on a positive note by adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet. In fact, recent research has found those eating a least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily were five times more likely to have better mental wellbeing compared to those who only eat one serving a day. Also, it has been found that those with low intakes of fruits and vegetables had a two times greater risk of developing cancer compared to those with high intake of fruits and vegetables. If that is not enough to motivate you to eat more fruits and vegetables, studies have also found that eating more fruits and vegetables is associated with better weight management. Make eating more fruits and vegetables easy by making it convenient! Keep a bowl of fruit on your kitchen counter for a quick and nutrient-packed snack. Keep cut-up fruits and vegetables in your refrigerator for easy salad assembly or to top on yogurt or cereal. Hard to eat fresh fruits and vegetables before they spoil? Pack your freezer with plenty of fresh frozen fruits and vegetables. Microwave vegetables for an easy dinner side and blend frozen fruit with milk or yogurt for a tasty fruit smoothie.
