Everyone knows that they should be eating plenty of fruits and vegetables but so many of us don’t. The recommended amounts are 3 to 4 servings of fruit and at least 4 to 5 servings of vegetables each day.

Let’s take a look at some of the benefits from eating enough fruits and vegetables. The first thing you’ll notice is the large amount of fiber you’ll be getting from your fruits and veggies. In addition to keeping you regular, fiber can also help you feel full more quickly so you will feel the desire to eat less. This is a great way to lose some weight without drugs or pills.

Another benefit of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is the sheer amount of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients you’ll be getting. Your body needs these things to work properly and getting them in their natural state (i.e., non-processed) is fantastic. Fruits and vegetables are also rich in antioxidants which can help prevent and ward off cancer.

Your body is also able to digest and process whole foods such as fruits and vegetables more easily than it can junk food. Having your body spend less energy on digestion means you’ll feel more alert and have more energy.

If you have a craving for a sweet snack but don’t like the crash you feel afterward, fruit is your answer. Since fruit contains natural, non-processed sugars, your body handles it differently and doesn’t dump a huge amount of sugar right into your bloodstream. Instead you feel a constant surge of energy that lasts for hours with no crash when it’s gone.

There are a whole host of problems that are caused by lack of fruit and vegetables in the diet. Constipation, hemorrhoids and irritable bowel syndrome can all be helped by eating more fruits and vegetables.
