I wanted to take this blog opportunity to share some helpful links that I have come across in my goal to increase my fruits & veggies intake! We all know that fruits and veggies have been linked to better health overall including improved immune system, a great source of fiber and nutrients...and the list goes on! It also can be helpful in reducing risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, high cholesterol, etc.
Although everyone knows the health benefits of fruits and veggies, it can be hard to take the next step and ensure that they are getting enough of these healthy treats in their daily diet. In my quest to learn more about the health benefits of fruits and veggies and the different ways to make them fun and exciting to eat, I have come across some helpful links to encourage me along the way!
This link is about a CDC program that strives to increase consumption of fruits & veggies:

It has great FAQ and it even has a fantastic "tips" section that gives you advice on how to incorporate fruits & veggies in your daily meals!
It has great information on healthy lifestyles including exercise and nutrition. It has a google search box in which you can type "fruits and veggies" and it will list all the articles and resources the website has regarding your search topic. I found great articles on fruits that help you lose weight and the different health benefits of specific fruits and veggies.
I hope everyone gets a chance to check out these great websites! They're a great resource for others who want to increase their fruits and veggies intake or who just want to improve their overall health!
Cheers!
These are great links Katy!
