How to Be a Conscious Eater

THE BEST PRODUCE

IS THE KIND YOU EAT

O

f all the things you could possibly do for your health, eat-

ing more fruits and vegetables is far and away one of the

best. It’s that simple.

You’ll want to aim for at least five servings a day and a deli-

cious diversity. Eating enough veggies is especially important.

Fortunately, a serving is not as big as you may think—you can

easily have two or three in one sitting. If they can be organic,

great. If they can be seasonal and regional, great. The primary

thing is to eat them.
