We're not eating enough fruits and vegetables!

By Pete Wednesday, March 21, 2007
In a new report, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) found that less than a third of adults eat the recommended serving of fruits and vegetables each day. Although the CDC has been taking steps to encourage healthier eating, Americans are still not getting what they should. You should be eating 5 to 9 serving of fruits and vegetables a day.
 
A healthy, well balanced diet is essential to preventing heart disease and high cholesterol. It may not seem like much, an apple with lunch and some carrots at dinner can make a big difference down the line.
