Mom Was Right – Eat Your Fruits and Veggies

American Heart Association serves up fruits and veggies on National Eating Healthy Day

Robbinsville, NJ, October 30, 2014 – National Eating Healthy Day is Wednesday, November 5, and the American Heart Association wants people to listen to the advice of generations of mothers (and fathers): eat your fruits and vegetables.

Americans typically only consume about half their recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables. The American Heart Association recommends eating eight or more fruit and vegetable servings every day. For an average adult consuming 2,000 calories daily, that means about 4 ½ cups of fruits and vegetables a day.
