MONROE - The Green County Nutrition Program announced its support for Fruits and Veggies - More Matters Month in September.
The program promotes eating a healthy diet with plenty of vegetables and fruits that can help:
• Lower the risk for heart disease and some types of cancer
• Maintain or reach a healthy weight
• Keep bodies strong and active
The program suggests various ways to fit more fruits and vegetables into diets, including:
• Keeping a bowl of fruit handy where the whole family can see it.
• Cut up fruits and veggies ahead of time so they're ready for quick, healthy snacks.
• Trying a new veggie or fruit every week.
The Green County Nutrition Program, part of the Aging and Disability Resource Center, continues to provide access to a hot noon meal for those ages 60 and over who need it. Meals served always provide one-third of the nutritional value a person needs each day and include a fruit or veggie.
