Why You Should Include Fruit & Veg In Your Diet

      Fruit and Vegetables are always being talked about as important foods that we must eat every day. I’m sure you all have someone that says to you “Have you had your 5 a day?” But do you know what the reasoning is behind it? Do you know how eating fruit and vegetables can improve your lifestyle? No? Well here are some reasons why you should include fruit and vegetables in your diet: 

1) They are rich in vitamins
It is recommended by nutritionists that we should all be taking in 3-4 servings of fruit and 5 servings of vegetables every day. Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin C and Vitamin D are some of the vitamins that fruit and vegetables include. Remember, our bodies need these vitamins to maintain a healthy lifestyle. 

2) They are Natural 
Fruit and vegetables, especially if they are organic, are 100% natural and are a great source for nutrition intake. As long as they are grown properly and contain no preservatives means that they are completely natural. 

3) Helps to control body weight 
All year round, especially when leading up to holidays, everyone becomes obsessed with the way that they look and try to control the amount of weight they are putting on/losing. One of the most effective ways to do this is by having the recommended servings of fruit and vegetables a day and reduce the amount of fatty products you are eating. By replacing snacks such as chocolate bars and sweets with fruit or veg will help to ensure you lose the pounds quickly and see fabulous results. As well as looking good, it is also a much healthier diet and will decrease your chances of becoming ill. Head down to your local supermarket where there are a variety of fun healthy foods available such as carrot sticks or fruit bags. 

4) Helps to save you money
Most people are trying to save money and one way you can do this is by buying more fruit and vegetables. Most fatty foods such as burgers, crisps and chocolates come at a high price and are often the reason why your food shopping bills can be so expensive. Fruit and vegetables are a lot cheaper than other foods, so cutting out fatty foods and buying more fruit and veg can help you save money!
