Fresh fruits and vegetables for a healthy life
Fruit and vegetables should be an important part of your daily diet. They are naturally good and contain vitamins and minerals that can help to keep you healthy. They can also help protect against some diseases. You should eat at least 5 serves of vegetables and 2 serves of fruit each day. Choose different colors and varieties. If you are someone who doesn’t look forward to eating fruit or vegetables, start slowly with those you do like. Try serving, flavoring or cooking them in different ways. You can also disguise them in sauces, minced meals or curries.
About fruits and vegetables
Vitamins and minerals in fruit and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables contain many vitamins and minerals that are good for your health. Many of these are antioxidants, and may reduce the risk of many diseases:
-
vitamin A (beta-carotene)
-
vitamin C
-
vitamin E
-
magnesium
-
zinc
-
phosphorous
-
folic acid.
Folic acid may reduce blood levels of homocysteine, a substance that may be a risk factor for coronary heart disease. Research has shown that consuming these nutrients as food, within fruits and vegetables, is more beneficial for health than consuming them as supplements.
Fruit and vegetables for good health
Fruits and vegetables are low in fat, salt and sugar. They are a good source of dietary fibre, which can make you feel fuller for longer and prevent overconsumption of food. As part of a well-balanced, healthy diet and an active lifestyle, a high intake of fruit and vegetables can help you to:
-
reduce obesity and maintain a healthy weight
-
lower your cholesterol
-
lower your blood pressure.
