So this is Eat Your Fruits and Veggies month! You may ask why eating fruits and vegetables is so important. Both are very important. Vegetables have disease and cancer fighting nutrients, depending on how you prepare them. Eating both raw and cooked vegetables is very important because raw vegetables are packed with vitamins and minerals that fight disease and sickness. Cooking vegetables does kill some of the vitamins, but it wakes up cancer fighting agents, especially in tomatoes. Fruits are also packed with vitamins and minerals that keep you healthier and stronger. For more information on super-packed fruits and veggies, click here.
