More than once we have heard how many people in their quest to be healthier and to protect themselves from disease and obesity consume more fruits and vegetables. However, research shows that most people do not eat enough fruits and vegetables.
Instead of the five servings they need for the day, they consume only two of them. Hopefully, this article will make you rethink your diet and you will find a wider range of fruits and vegetables to eat.
For starters, you should try to think positively and believe that you will walk the path to getting the right amount of fruits and vegetables for the body.
We start with a breakfast that contains peppers, mushrooms, salsa or spinach, prepared with eggs in an omelet or wrapped in tortilla bread. Arrange breakfast with your favorite blueberries or strawberries or a slice of tomato. Be sure to add fruits such as apple, grapefruit, orange or just juice. Complement your pancakes, ready-made cereals or sandwich with bananas, blueberries or strawberries.
For lunch and dinner, consider a combination of at least two vegetables such as peas and carrots or beans and corn. Be sure to finish your sandwich with a slice of tomato, onion, cucumber or lettuce leaf. For example, take fresh and raw vegetables at the place where you eat chips between meals during the day.
Balance your satiety with a salad of fresh vegetables such as cauliflower, carrots, celery, cucumbers and red peppers, which will completely replace the crunch of chips. Eating dried fruits such as apricots, cherries, figs and dates is a great option to recharge your batteries for the whole day.
Make sure you keep enough of your favorite fruits and vegetables in your home and put them in place. This will make them easy to access, and Eastern teachings believe that the whole family is lucky. In the refrigerator they should be located at eye level, and in the living room there should be a bowl with your family's favorite fruits.
Do not leave uneaten vegetables until they spoil in the refrigerator. They are great ingredients for vegetable soup or as an addition to lasagna or meat dishes.
To complete your menus every day, eat a variety of fruits mixed in a fruit salad, such as bananas, mangoes, pineapples, apples, strawberries, coconut and more. You can also add them to your desserts - to pancakes, ice cream or yogurt.
When you're at a restaurant, order a salad or stewed vegetables first. When looking at the buffets sprinkled with a variety of foods, start by focusing on fresh vegetables or fruits.
As a last step, but not least, we will mention shakes. Combine your favorite fruits with or without ice cream or yogurt. Unleash your imagination and prepare a shake in your favorite glass to experience more pleasure from consuming it.
We hope that we have managed to increase your appetite and desire to consume more fruits and vegetables. In the summer, when you start your day positively with a thought on how to add more fresh foods to your menu, you will appreciate the huge variety of them that the warm season offers. Always add a huge dose of love, well mixed with joy and laughter for a better life.
