Collapse ▲Do you get the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet? Probably not because the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that only about 1 in every 10 Americans eats enough fruits and vegetables. Just 13% of the US consumer 1 ½ – 2 cups of fruit as recommended by federal dietary guidelines and less than 9% eat 2-3 cups of vegetables every day. There is a perception that fruits and vegetables are more expensive than other foods and it’s not accurate and your local Extension Office can give you information showing otherwise. We just need to get into the habit of replacing some of those foods we normally eat with fruits and vegetables. Eating a good amount of colorful fruits and vegetables is important because they help lower a person’s risk of chronic illnesses such as obesity, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. They are generally low in fat, high in fiber and help control blood sugar as well. With careful meal planning, smart shopping and a few changes in your storage and preparation techniques, you can make the most out of your family budget by always including fruits and vegetables in your meals.
