We think it’s safe to say that we’ve all gone through a phase in life where we weren't into eating fruits and vegetables. Looking back, we can definitely remember a time when broccoli and asparagus had a pretty bitter, and slimy feel to them. It wasn’t uncommon to just push them off of our plate and onto the floor so that the family dog could wolf them down. And we’d be able to get ice cream as a reward for completely finishing dinner! But here’s the thing, what would happen if you just STUCK with that gut instinct? And NEVER ate your fruits and vegetables? Sure, we’ve heard an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but, why is this? Does it really keep the doctor away? What are the side effects of a diet without you fruits and veggies? Are there really that many pluses if you DO eat them? And what do specific fruits and vegetables help with anyways? Does a banana help in the same way a piece of broccoli does? Well, today we are finding out, Brainiacs. We are talking all there is to know about everyone’s favorite healthy snack. From the science behind it, to some rather terrifying statistics if you DON’T eat your fruits and veggies. It’s time to get healthy, and eat a fully balanced diet, because today we are tackling one of the larger groups of the food pyramid, fruits and vegetables, and why they are so important to eat on a daily basis.
