Research shows that eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day plays an important role in preventing diseases and conditions of ill health. Whole food fruits and vegetables contain essential nutrients, especially antioxidants, that improve our resistance to disease, protect our cells from damaging effects of free radicals, and boost our immune system. Good nutrition is vital to optimal health and especially important for children and adolescents for health, growth and development.
According to the USDA Food Guide Pyramid, Americans should consume three to five servings of fruits and two to four servings of vegetables daily. The Harvard School of Public Health stated that the average American consumes only three servings of fruits and vegetables a day. What is even more alarming is that the USDA reported that over half of all elementary students eat no fruit on any given day, and three out of ten students eat less than one serving of vegetables a day. Along with its incredible taste and ORAC value Fruit and Veggie Plus contains 24 raw fruits and vegetables.
Fruit and Veggie Plus is very cost-effective when considering that purchasing enough fruits and vegetables each day to provide six daily servings costs an average of $80 per month! (Depending on where you live and variety of fruits and vegetables chosen.)
