Eat your Fruits and Veggies

  You hear it all the time. Eat your fruits and vegetables. At least 5 to 7 servings daily. Do you know why? When your body digests food it needs enzymes to help break down the food. Fruits, and vegetables already have enzymes in them naturally, so your body does not have to make an enzyme to digest fruits and vegetables. Heating or chemical changes in food can destroy or change enzymes, which is why it is typically best to eat fruit and vegetables raw.

  Doctors recommend eating 5 to 7 servings fruit and vegetables to prevent and help fight cancer, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity and the list goes on. The easier the food is to digest , the sooner your body can begin to use the vitamins and nutrients to feed your body more quickly. When you eat over processed food, your body has to work hard to break it down and there is not as much nutrional value. Eating 5 to 7 servings of fruits and vegetables is an easy way to a healthier you.
