Fruits and vegetables are an excellent source of essential vitamins and minerals. Eating more of them can help keep you healthy and prevent certain diseases. They're naturally low in fat and calories, and high in fiber - making them the perfect choice for a nutritious, balanced diet!
By consuming more fruits and vegetables, you reduce your dependence on processed foods which require a great deal of energy and resources to produce. Plus, when you buy locally grown produce, you support small farmers who use sustainable farming practices that protect the environment.
Eating more fruits and vegetables doesn't have to break the bank. Many fruits and vegetables are inexpensive, especially when purchased in season or bought from bulk stores. You can also freeze or store them at home so they last longer - resulting in even bigger savings!
