Staying Healthy with Fruits and Vegetables

Eating a low-fat diet rich in fruits and vegetables helps reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancers - and can also help maintain a healthy weight.

Tips for Eating More Fruits and Veggies at Work

• Stock your desk with a variety of bite-sized munchies for on-the-go snacks. Try boxes of raisins, dried fruit trail mix, individual cans or boxes of 100% juice, canned fruits such as applesauce, pineapple rings, pears slices, or peach halves. Don't forget your can opener!
• Pack a breakfast to go - add fresh or frozen berries to a low-fat yogurt.
• Use leftover veggies for tomorrow's salad, or add them to a favorite can of soup.
• Pack one or two fresh fruit or veggie snacks for the day. Try cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks, broccoli, an apple, grapes or berries.
• No time to fix lunch? Make a salad at the grocery store salad bar.
