Improve Your Diet With Fruits and Veggies
The cornerstone of any diet should be several servings of fruits and vegetables everyday. In fact you should be eating at least five servings and nine is much better. The FDA officially recommends 3 to 4 servings of fruit and 4 to 5 servings of veggies. There are more benefits to eating more fruits and vegetables than we can easily discuss in one article, but let's take a look at some of them.
There are many benefits to eating enough fruits and vegetables. One of them is that fruits and vegetables contain high amounts of fiber. Fiber does many things for your body. It keeps you regular and it can help you feel full faster. Eating fruits and vegetables at every meal can cut the amount of calories it takes to satisfy your hunger and lead to natural weight loss.
Fruits and vegetables are also full of nutrients. They contain vitamins and minerals that your body needs to run properly. They also contain a ton of antioxidants that can prevent cancer and some can even halt cancer cell growth. Vegetables such as broccoli and fruits like pomegranate have been shown to shrink and kill tumor cells.
Your body is also able to digest and process whole foods such as fruits and vegetables more easily than it can junk food. Having your body spend less energy on digestion means you'll feel more alert and have more energy.
If you have a craving for a sweet snack but don't like the crash you feel afterward, fruit is your answer. Since fruit contains natural, non-processed sugars, your body handles it differently and doesn't dump a huge amount of sugar right into your bloodstream. Instead you feel a constant surge of energy that lasts for hours with no crash when it's gone.
Eating more fruits and vegetables is not only a great way to feel more energetic, it can also help with many digestive system maladies. If something doesn't feel right with your tummy, try eating a better diet and you'll be glad you did. - 17273
