How to Add More Fruits & Vegetables to Your Diet

Fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that may help protect you from chronic diseases.  Do you wish you were eating more fruits and vegetables but aren't sure how to work them into your daily routine?  Here are some easy tips from www.fruitsandveggiesmatter.gov:

• Add fruit to your breakfast cereal or oatmeal (not just bananas, but also try apples, grapes, berries, peaches, or mandarin oranges).
• Snack on mini-carrots or dried fruit at work instead of candy.
• Add to your take-out dinner with fruits and vegetables from home.
• Microwave a vegetable to add to your dinner or eat some fruit for dessert.
