As per the FDA also people have to take at least 5-9 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables daily. The food guidelines issued by USA recently recommend this.

The daily recommended amount is equivalent to almost 2 cups of fruits and 2 and 1/2 cups of vegetables each day. When you think of it this way does it look that difficult to get your daily recommended dosage of fruits and vegetables?

The grocery store shelves in USA and throughout the world are bursting with fresh fruits and vegetables and they are usually very very less expensive than other and more nutritious than other foods in the supermarket. Considering how less expensive they are and how nutritious they are, having daily dosage should not be such a big problem.

In order to get the maximum benefit, you should eat different varieties of fruits and vegetables. Eating the same foods day after day is not so exciting. So if you eat try out different fruits and vegetables everyday it can be so much fun and also you can get all the different nutrients present in each.

Pick different colors and varieties as each color fruit or vegetable has different types of nutrients, so choosing a variety of different colors can ensure that you get all the vitamins and minerals present in them.

Another good method of enjoying your daily intake is to try out new recipes. Most people love to experiment and try out new recipes so why not do the same and enjoy all those veggies and fruits in different tastes.

An alternative would be to make juices out of the fruits or vegetables. Juices can be very good for the health, but they should be your second option - the first being to consume the foods directly as that can be more nutritious.
