Eat a minimum of two different fruits/vegetables with every meal - Week 37
For the upcoming weekly challenge we are challenging the participants to "Eat a minimum of two different fruits/vegetables with every meal.”
“Eat your fruits and vegetables” is one of the tried and true recommendations for a healthy diet. And for good reason. Eating plenty of vegetables and fruits can help you ward off heart disease and stroke, control blood pressure, prevent some types of cancer, avoid a painful intestinal ailment called diverticulitis, and guard against cataract and macular degeneration, two common causes of vision loss. For more information and to participate in the challenge, click here.
