Fruits and Vegetables: Get Your Recommended Daily Intake

Keeping your body fueled with the proper amount of vital life giving nutrients is key to healthy living. "The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends that adults consume nine 1/2-cup servings of fruits and vegetables daily within a 2,000 calorie daily diet.

Which means 2 cups of fruit and 2 ½ cups of vegetables daily.  These amounts of fruits and vegetables have enough diet nutrients for individuals who get less than 30 minutes of physical activity each day. Much more fruits and vegetables may be consumed by those who exercise 30 minutes per day or more. Keep healthy and watch your diet nutrition.
