It’s well documented that many of us need to increase our daily intake of fruit and vegetables. We are the champions of the world when it comes to getting enough carbs, protein, and fat, but we’re sorely lacking when it comes to getting more micronutrients.
While the Centers For Disease Control recommend adults consume about 1 ½ to 2 cups of fruit and 2 to 3 cups of vegetables daily, an analysis of American diets between 2007 and 2010 found that 50% of the population ate less than 1 cup of fruit and less than 1 ½ cups of vegetables.
An astounding 76% of people did not eat nearly enough fruit, and 87% did not eat enough vegetables.
These and many more issues are discussed in this ebook.
