90% of adults don’t eat enough fruits and veggies.

Nutrients we get from fruits and vegetables are essential to our overall well being. Think of us as a well oiled machine that needs a certain type of fuel. Sure, we may be able to take a cheaper fuel, but we won’t be functioning at our best. It’s the same with us! To put it simply, without eating healthy foods our bodies will not be able to function at our best. There are plenty of side effects of not having a nutritious diet. If you eat junk, you’re going to feel like junk!

The most common symptoms from we experience are:

• Digestive health issues

• Fatigue

• Lower back pain

• General sadness or low mood

• Bone loss or brittleness 

• Increased hair loss

• Unexplained muscle pain (not from exercise or strain)

• Impaired wound healing

• Skin issues

• Frequent illness

Set a goal to always have a protein + vegetable/fruit every time you eat. Sometimes this can be challenging to get yourself and others to eat enough fruits/vegetables. I’m going to inspire you to eat more vegetables by sneaking them into your diet, undetected! Today, we’ll focus ramping up our veggies in main courses. This is perfect for little ones and adults who turn their nose at vegetables.
