Eat More Produce In 2025!

30 seconds

Whether you’re in top physical shape or struggling with a health concern, anyone can reap the benefits of fresh produce. Vegetables and fruits are rich in flavonoids and carotenoids with both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, both promote healthy digestion, filling you up with few calories and little to no fat, and are among the healthiest snack options when on-the-go.

Dark leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables are especially good choices, as are berries and other low-glycemic fruits to satisfy a bit of a sweet craving. Aim for 4-5 servings of vegetables and 3-4 servings of fruit per day – go for a wide range of colors, choose fruit and vegetables that are fresh in season or frozen, and buy organic whenever possible especially for the items on the Environmental Working Group’s Dirty Dozen list.
