The mention of fruit and vegetables brings back memories of parents telling us to eat them up if we’re going to get dessert.
And if you’re like me, that’s probably stuck with you, even though you might have let your intake of them fall by the wayside when you began having more control over your own food intake.
Particularly when we know the importance of energy balance and macronutrient intake, it can be very easy to forget about the fundamental importance of vegetables.
But have you ever stopped to ask yourself why fruits and vegetables might actually be important?
There are some solid reasons, and knowing these reasons might be what you need to actually start taking your intake of them seriously.
