Over the last several years, the U.S. Department of
Health has recommended eating at least five portions of fruits and
vegetables a day. Yet, only one in seven achieve this quota. In fact,
one-third of American adults eat only two servings of fruits and vegetables
a day and are four times more likely to choose a processed snack instead. On
any given day, about half the population eats no fruit at all.
A bushel of reasons
There is a rainbow of reasons to eat a variety of colors from the produce
aisle. Fruits and vegetables are virtually fat free, low in salt and an
excellent source of fiber. Some fruits and vegetables, such as carrots and
cantaloupe, provide Vitamin A, which maintains eye health and immunity.
Other fruits and vegetables, such as bananas and spinach, contain potassium,
which is necessary for proper nerve and muscle functioning. Green
vegetables, such as broccoli and asparagus, provide B Vitamins, which are
necessary for converting food into energy. But all fruits and vegetables
contain phytonutrients, the health-promoting components of plants.
Scientific studies show that phytonutrients can help protect seven key
organs, including the eyes, heart, liver and skin and they may also serve as
antioxidants.
Antioxidant protection
Current research has measured the total antioxidant power of various foods,
citing fruits and vegetables at the top of the list. Antioxidants protect
our bodies from free radicals that can cause damage to cellular membranes.
Antioxidants also boost our immunity, help make our muscles stronger and
support bone and skin health. Since eating the recommended daily servings of
antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables is not always realistic, try
supplementing your diet with appropriate products. Herbalife’s Garden 7®
dietary supplement protects your health with the powerful phytonutrient and
antioxidant benefits found in seven servings of colorful fruits and
vegetables. It also supports your body’s vital organs by providing them with
key nutrients. So try to get in the habit of eating plenty of produce each day. It’s one of
the biggest favors you can do for your body.
