Do u know "5 a Day"?


Here are some great reasons to eat 5 portions of fruit and vegetables A DAY:

  1. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Virginia. Eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of heart disease by 20-40%. Fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants and phytochemicals, which may play a protective role against cardiovascular disease.
