Not Getting Enough Fruits In Daily?

So we all are aware of the amount of servings of fruit that we are supposed to have daily. Although on average, over 90 percent of children and adults don't get the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables everyday. Most of us don't get the recommended amounts due to our busy and eat on the go lifestyle. Especially when fruit and vegetables usually require some preparation when making. Here are a couple of suggestions that should help out. First purchase some fruits such as apples, oranges, pears, and etc. so you can grab them easily. Another tip is to try adding some dried fruit and some fruit and vegetable juice into your routine. Fruit is fruit, and veggies are veggies, therefore frozen wont hurt. You don't always have to have them fresh as frozen ones actually preserves longer. Don't be afraid or hesitate to add veggies to your sandwich or other food! More will not hurt you. Lastly don't be afraid to try those fruit smoothies and juices. Some of them can also be high in sugar, but as long as your reading the label and you get a good balanced amount of vegetable or fruit serving your good to go!
