Today’s fast-paced lifestyle can make eating five servings of fruit and vegetables a day a seemingly insurmountable task. Life is lived in a harried pace which unknowingly has bombarded the body with stressors, weakening the immune system and making persons prone to diseases. Many studies have been able to establish a strong link between diet and disease.
In the guise of busyness it’s easier to access fast foods which are fat-laden and highly Carbohydrate-based. When one forgoes a plant-rich diet, he has undermined the physical, emotional and physiological benefits of one---a better energy source for the day and a good source of essential vitamins and minerals for the body.
Making a lifestyle overhaul can do miracles to your overall health. Planning your meals will enable you to include the recommended five servings of fruit and vegetables daily as well as lessen your dependence on readymade meals and fast-food.
