Your mother probably told you to eat your fruits and veggies and now we are, too! Besides, June is fruit and vegetable month. It's a great time of year to eat fresh produce.
Fruits and vegetables are critical to promoting good health. Most people should double the amount they eat every day
since they are packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber and disease-fighting phytochemicals. Eat plenty to reduce your chances of heart disease, high blood pressure, Type II diabetes, and certain cancers.
Wonderful in-season fruits and vegetables may be found now in local supermarkets. And don't forget to also seek produce that is sold through local farms and farmers' markets.
