I knew fruits and vegetables were good for you but I didn't know that they had such a important role in helping prevent cancers and cardiac diseases. Some types of cancer run in my family and to know that 30-40% of all cancers could be prevented by changing how we eat and incorporating an exercise routine is definitely motivational!

If you start eating healthy young then you will continue it on throughout your adult hood. I feel like this is very true. I have recently started eating healthy and I have noticed just in the past half a year what a difference it has made. I have been eating a lot more grapes as well!

It has taken me a long time, but I eat far more fruits and vegetables now than I did growing up. Fortunately, as I have gotten older, I have developed a taste for new and different foods.

I wish they were cheaper. And is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable? It is so easy to talk about adopting a healthy lifestyle but our society really does not do a great job to make that type of lifestyle more accessible.
