Dietary resolution for the New Year
The H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute in Tampa, Florida recommends eating more fruit and veggies to help you be healthier and shed extra pounds.
Here are some highlights.
- Carry packets of dried fruit or an apple to help you eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day.
- Increase the portion size or number of fruits and vegetables on your plate and decreasing meat portions.
- Bring your lunch to work at least 3 times a week, and include a single-serve microwavable vegetable and a piece of fruit.
- Make a fruit salad to serve as a side dish or dessert.
The bottom line?
Be a leader! Co-workers, children, and others around you are more likely to consider trying different fruits and vegetables by watching or tasting some of the colorful foods you bring to the table.
