Get Your Fruits and Veggies
Eating 2 to 6 ½ cups of colorful fruits and vegetables a day is important for good health. Visit MyPyramid.gov to find out how many cups you need. Deeply-colored fruits and vegetables provide the wide range of vitamins and minerals that your body needs. Fruits and vegetables also contain fiber and phytochemicals, which protect against the effects of aging, and reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease.
