With cooler weather on the way, people are more inclined to eat hearty, comfort foods. Soups, mashed potatoes, pies, and roasts are all great but our fresh produce intake tends to go down. Fruits and vegetables are super foods because of their high nutrient content and they aren't calorie dense. Meaning you're getting more bang for your buck when you eat fruits and vegetables.
I want to challenge all of us to try and eat more f & v's during the work day instead of reaching for the leftover Halloween treats or some vending machine snacks. The USDA recommends that adults eat about 5-9 servings of fruit per days so I hope that by getting about a third of your intake at work will help motivate you to incorporate more produce at home as well.
I'll be posting tips on tricks how to get to 9 servings without having to make a huge effort, debunk some nutrition myths, host some small snack potlucks, and help you be healthier during these holiday months.
Please send me an email if you have any questions or suggestions!
Thanks for your support :)
