Veggie Power!


Besides their abundance of vitamins, minerals, and feel-full fiber content, here's another great reason to eat your five servings of fruits and vegetables every day: You'll cut your cancer risk in half! The reason? Antioxidants! These powerful, naturally occurring nutrients boost your immune system and fend off cell damage! The Virginia Department of Health offers the following advice for squeezing in your five a day:


  • When you get home from the market, cut up fruits and veggies into serving-size pieces. You'll be more likely to reach for them if they're ready to go!
  • Have fruit or 100 percent fruit juice with your breakfast.
  • Stock your kitchen with fresh, frozen, dried, and canned fruits and vegetables so they're always on hand!
  • Munch on a fruit or vegetable snack daily!
  • Add a side of veggies (steamed or cooked) to your plate at dinner.
