You have heard it - probably since you were 5 - eat your fruits and vegetables! And they weren't wrong. You should eat your fruits and vegetables. A lot of them - eight to ten servings, in fact - and from every colour of the rainbow!

Why are Veggies so important?
Vegetables provide the broadest range of nutrients and phytochemicals of any kind of food. They are loaded with vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein and fiber and have been shown to help in the prevention of many diseases including heart disease, cancer, diabetes and arthritis.
