Spring Time Fruits & Veggies

When I posted a delicious juicing recipe, many of you said you wanted to add more fruits & vegetables to your diet.

An easy way to do that is to go to a local farmer's market - the fruits & vegetables that are in season will be there for a decent price.

Having healthy fruits and vegetables in your diet is very important...it helps prevent: heart disease, strokes, diverticulitis, some types of cancer; and controls your blood pressure and protects you against cataract degeneration or vision loss.

Every fruit & vegetable is full of different essential vitamins and minerals - especially depending on the color. It is important to consume as many different fruits and vegetables of various colors.
