How Many Servings Do You Need Every Day?

Children two to six years old as well as women who are not very active - 5 servings: 2 fruits, 3 vegetables

Older children, teen girls and men who are not very active - 7 servings: 3 fruits, 4 vegetables

Teen boys and active men and women - 9 servings: 4 fruits, 5 vegetables

People who get enough nutrition every day decrease their risk for disease, including heart disease, cancer and stroke. They also maintain memory function, eyesight, strong bones and more.

Keep in mind too little of our food is eaten raw. Cooking at temperatures over 120 degrees kills much of the nutrition in most foods. We're trying to achieve the impossible - maintain health while eating food that does not support health.

You may be thinking:

• "I don't have time to eat that many fruits and veggies every day."
  
  
• "I don't like buying, washing and cutting them up, only to see them rot in the fridge."
  
  
• "I simply don't like the taste of fruits and vegetables."

That's why there's The Pops™. They're an easy to get nine to eleven fruits and veggies every day – plus a lot more.
