EAT THOSE FRUITS + VEGGIES

Nutrient Dense - foods have a high vitamin and mineral content in relation to their caloric value.

Fruits and vegetables are the powerhouse of the food world, full of nutrients and antioxidants to keep your body healthy.

We eat to fuel our bodies. While we find pleasure in eating as well, we need to focus on the fact that food is fuel. Produce - fruits & vegetables - are the most nutrient-dense foods available and what we should consume first. The majority of your food intake every day should be produce.

Vegetables are the leaves, stems, and other parts of a plant.

Most fruits are low in calories while high in nutrients and fiber, which can increase & lengthen the feeling of being full.
