Today s Article Broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, etc., these are just some of the fruits and vegetables kids struggle to eat. Adults, especially parents, know that kids should be bribed first before they eat some greens. However, in reality, even adults need a little bit of bribing just to eat healthy food. Grownups might think that there is no dire need to eat fruits and veggies every day. What they don t know is there are benefits in eating the right amount of these foods, especially as our bodies grow older.

2 According to experts, eating between 5-10 servings of fruits and veggies a day is already a challenge for some adults. So, how should we deal with the problem? An 80g per serving of fruits and veggies should be consumed in a day, for beginners. But, this alone won t get you to your goal. Knowing the right consumption and how it s connected to the benefits are more important. There are lots of unique qualities that fruits and vegetables can offer, and to help you eat them easily, I suggest you focus on their colors; Red fruits and veggies have fiber, vitamins A & C. Fiber keeps your bowel movements regular and cleans your gut. Orange have vitamin A, fiber, potassium, iron, and zinc. Potassium controls the hydration levels and straightens muscles Yellow have vitamins A & C, folic acid which prevents balding quickly and is good for pregnant mothers, and fiber.
