Summer brings an abundance of fresh fruit and
vegetables to stores and markets. That means
more opportunities to add tasty and heart
healthy foods to your meals. Strawberries,
tomatoes, cantaloupe and other seasonal produce
taste good and can help reduce the risk of heart
disease and stroke.
About 1 in 3 American kids and teens are
overweight or obese, which can lead to health
problems. You can help your child develop
healthy habits that will bring lifelong benefits.
Here are some tips to incorporate more fruits
and vegetables in your diet.
1. Keep it colorful.
Make it a daily challenge to try different fruits
and vegetables of different colors. Make it a
red/green/orange day. Or try a rainbow of
fruits and vegetables for the week.
