Beyond making fruits & veggies a vital part of your diet, make them a vital part of your life.

There's so much to gain; vitamins A, C & E, magnesium, zinc, phosphorous, folic acid used to make blood, & a lot more..

Make your stomach a fruits & vegetables basket.

For example, one of the best ways to #detox (remove toxic waste materials from the body) naturally is by eating fruits & veggies.

The easiest ways to detox is to include seasonal fruits in your diet because fruits are powerhouses of essential vitamins, minerals & antioxidants.

Some fruits like pineapple 🍍 are directly medicinal.

Pineapples contain a substance called #bromelain.

This is known to help in breaking down proteins, reducing inflammation (e.g. arthritis) & relieving symptoms of cough.

Pineapples are medicinal? Yes!

Fruits & veggies are low in fat, salt & sugar, & give you high quality dietary fibre.

Whether you're fighting;
obesity
stroke
cancer
diabetes
heart disease
high cholesterol
high blood pressure, OR
you just want to glow your skin & live healthy,

..fruits & veggies can help.

For those who measure, eat at least 5 serves of vegetables 🍀 & 2 serves of fruits 🍒 every day.

1 serve of vegetables is about 1 cup of raw salad vegetables or 1/2 cup of cooked.

While 1 serve of fruit is 1 medium piece or 2 small pieces.
