4 Tricks to Incorporate Fruits and Veggies to Your DietThe obesity rate in America today is at an all-time high—and it continues to rise. The threat of ailments such as cancer and diabetes has become more and more imminent. This is why the government continues to persuade us to eat more vegetables and fruits. The problem is this is easier said than done.
I have written this article to provide readers with healthy nutrition tips on how to easily add fruits and veggies to your diets. These are easy, quick, and delicious ways to up your daily intake of plant foods.
Sugar-free and all-natural smoothies are an excellent way to add some fruits into your diet. For breakfast, try blending a bunch of strawberries, some grapes, two bananas, and two kiwis with 250 ml of pure pressed orange or apple juice. This is already a full meal and it will provide your body with loads of nutrients for the day ahead
This suggestion is excellent for those who have cereals for breakfast. Instead of settling for plain old cereals with milk, add some flavor to your meal by mixing in some fruits. Blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries will taste excellent with almost any cereal while chopped bananas are always a great addition to any breakfast meal.
Instead of snacking on a brownie or a chocolate bar, why not opt for fresh vegetables. Aside from having significantly less calories, fresh veggies are just as filling. A chocolate chip muffin will contain around 700 calories (around 1/3 of the prescribed daily caloric intake), while a carrot will have as little as 32 calories.
Try this simple and handy trick. The next time you put some veggies on your plate for lunch or dinner, try to double the serving. Aside from leaving less room for other foods on your plate such as potatoes or meat, more veggies also means you are stuffing your body with more vitamins and nutrients. GP
