cancer
prevention starts with produce
Eating
5 to 10 servings a day of vegetables and fruits can reduce
your cancer risk by at least 20%. Making produce a large part
of your diet also reduces your risk of heart attacks, strokes,
diabetes and obesity. Yet, the average adult is eating only
3 to 4 servings a day.
To
increase your consumption here are a few ideas.
Each is equal to 1 serving:
- 1
cup chopped tomatoes and peppers scrambled with 1 egg
- 1/2
cup freshly squeezed orange, grapefruit or pineapple juice
- 1
cup mango, strawberry and kiwi fruit salad
- 1
baked potato topped with broccoli and a sprinkle of cheese
