Your Way to 5 A Day
There are thousands of health promoting phytochemicals found in plants. Research
is just beginning to understand how they work to improve health, so it’s
important to eat a wide variety of colorful orange/yellow, red, green, white,
and blue/purple vegetables and fruit every day. By eating vegetables and fruit
from each color group, you will benefit from the unique array of phytochemicals,
as well as essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that each color group has to
offer alone and in combination.
Eating a variety of colorful vegetables and fruits is an easy way to remember to
consume from 5 to 9 servings a day. The more color the better, whether choosing
vegetables and fruit at home, the supermarket or when eating out.

high costs, competing family demands, and lack of sensory appeal. These
obstacles are surmountable, however, and the 5 A Day for Better Health program
