Fruit, Vegetables, Fiber: A Recipe For Good Health

The old adage "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" may have worked in the past. But today we know that it takes more than one piece of fruit each day to stay healthy.

Health experts agree eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day is a great recipe for good health.

Eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables give us important vitamins and minerals. Plus, produce is packed with fiber. Keep the skin on produce to get even more fiber.

Eating fiber-rich foods may help keep you from overeating by making you eat slower and filling you up quicker. Fiber also aids in digestion.

Try consuming more fiber in your diet by eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. They're low in calories but will satisfy you at every meal.
