The importance of fruits and vegetables


 

Experts agree: fruits and vegetables are an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Almost every day, another piece of research or another news story touts the risk-reducing power of our dietary choices – especially the healthful benefits of eating more fruits and vegetables.

Whether it’s a new vitamin, an antioxidant, or some other phytonutrient not yet “discovered” by science, fruits and vegetables contain an unparalleled array of nutritional elements that offer protection for our bodies – nutrition that we simply can’t get from vitamin pills. The thousands of nutrients found in fruits and vegetables work together in ways that science is just beginning to explore.

The message is clear: we need more of the healthful whole food nutrition of fruits and vegetables in our diets, every day. It’s the one thing almost everyone agrees we can do to improve our health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Unfortunately, most people don’t eat nearly enough fruits and vegetables, especially not every day. Those we do eat tend to be over processed, overcooked, or too far removed from the field.

We recommend supplements to help fill the gap between what we should eat and what we actually eat.
