(HealthCastle.com) You've probably had the 5-a-day slogan for fruits and vegetables drilled into your brain since you were a little kid. Most people don't want to spend time measuring their fruits and vegetables, so we'll let you in on a secret. While you should definitely try to incorporate more fruits and veggies into your diet, it's actually more important to get a good variety of different colors of produce. Each color group has different phytochemicals, so mixing and matching gets you the most bang for your produce buck. That's why we say 5-a-day is out, and 3-a-day is in: 3 different color groups of fruit and veggies, that is!
Choose at least one item from three different produce color groups daily to maximize the benefits of the fruit and veggies you eat. Stop counting 5-a-day and focus on 3-a-day instead!
So how much fruit and veggies should you be eating? An adult female should eat 2.5-3 servings of veggies and 1.5-2 servings of fruits, while an adult male should eat 3-4 servings of veggies and 2-2.5 servings of fruit. A serving amounts to one cup of raw fruit, one cup of cooked veggies, or two cups of raw veggies - so it's not as simple as it may seem.
