Eating a wide variety of colorful fruits and vegetables provide a broad range of nutrients that keep your body strong and healthy. The easiest way to eat more fruits and vegetables is to be mindful to how you place your food on your plate. Half of your plate should be fruits and veggies. The amount of vegetables and fruits you need to eat depends on your age, gender, and level of physical activity.
