As moms, taking care of others is what we do best. But taking care of ourselves is important, too. This Mother’s Day, put well-being at the top of your to-do list. There are umpteen ways to improve health, but number one for me is eating enough fruits and veggies. You may constantly remind your kids to finish theirs, but do you hold yourself to the same rule?
Most women need about 2 ½ cups of vegetables and 2 cups of fruit each and every day. That may sound daunting, but it’s not hard to work these recommended amounts into your diet. Slice a banana over breakfast cereal, enjoy a cup of berries for a mid-morning snack, munch on a cup of baby carrots at lunch, have a green salad and a cup of broccoli at dinner, and you’ve met your goal. Here are some tips on how to count veggies and fruits in your diet.
Produce is generally low in fat and calories, and research also shows that eating an overall nutritious diet rich in fruits and vegetables may help promote good health. So slice, dice, chop, shred, grab canned or frozen varieties, or buy them fresh in ready-to-use packages. However you do it, just eat more fruits and veggies!
