Fairfax, VA (PRWEB) September 29, 2011
Everyone knows the saying, an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but it is important to know that a daily regimen that includes fruit and vegetables is a key to good nutrition. In our weekly "Appetite for Health" segment on NewsWatch, Registered Dietician Julie Upton and Katherine Brooking share why eating fruits are important to a healthy diet.
As Katherine and Julie explained during the segment, the MyPlate graphic says that half of our plate needs to be filled with fruits and vegetables. An easy way to fulfill a daily fruit regimen is to eat dried fruits. International Scientists of the World Nut and Dried Fruit Congress agree that dried fruits and fresh fruits have equal health benefits. Dried fruits have the added benefit of being available year round, and they are also inexpensive and delicious. Many healthy and delicious fruit choices are dried fruits, plums, figs, and raisins. Consumers can even mix them with low-fat yogurt or add a fig spread on top of whole grain toast. A raisin or craisin couscous salad is always a great choice as well.
Fruits contain carbohydrates and a small amount of protein, but very little, if any, fat. Most fruits contain less than one gram of fat per serving. Calories in fruits come mostly from simple carbohydrates; that is, sugars such as fructose, sucrose and glucose. For more information, head to AppforHealth.com
