Eating Your Vegetables
We all know that eating fruits and vegetables will lead to a healthy lifestyle. If someone asked you, “Do you eat your recommended amount of fruits and vegetables?” You would probably say, “Well of course I eat my fruits and vegetables…well at least all my fruit.” Fruits are easy to eat because they are sweet and that is what we like as humans, sweet foods, but vegetables on the other hand can be harder to eat.
When picking a vegetable, pick one that is easy to prepare. For example, baby carrots and celery can be eaten as a snack but if you have to do a lot of work to a vegetable, chances are you end up not eating it. Just remember, keep it simple.
When coming home from the grocery store, do not hide your vegetables in drawers put them at eye level. If you want to keep your vegetables fresh, you can place them in a glass jar; that way you will be able to see them.
