Fruits and vegetables are an essential part of your diet. They provide vitamins, minerals and fiber. For children it is especially important that they get an adequate amount of fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately, as families cut back on purchases they are also cutting back on fresh produce.
An annual survey conducted by the Produce for Better Health Foundation (PBH) has found that although 60% of Moms continue to believe that their families eat too few fruits and vegetables, they are including less of them in meals and snacks. Even though everyone knows the importance of healthy eating many families are choosing budget over health, which could create more monetary and health issues later down the line.
“It is important to continue to eat healthy, even in tough economic times,” says Elizabeth Pivonka, Ph.D., R.D., PBH President and CEO. “Fruits and vegetables are an inexpensive part of a healthy lifestyle. Fruits & Veggies-More Matters can show how to include more (produce) both at home and on the go.”
