Health Hint #3 Eat at Least 3 Servings of Vegetables a Day

Most people do not eat enough vegetables. Vegetables are an important source of vitamins and fiber that our bodies need. Here are some easy ways to include vegetables into your daily diet. Eat a salad a day, add lettuce and tomato to your sandwich, take carrots sticks for a snack, or have a vegetable omelet for breakfast. It takes a little daily planning to ensure your diet is vegetable rich. Fresh veggies are always the best choice, followed by frozen. Avoid canned vegetables as their nutrients are lost through the canning process. Be sure to vary the type of vegetables you consume so you are getting the various vitamins you need.
