Nutritional Benefits of Fresh Fruit
So often today we read or hear of the alarming statistics about obesity and the unhealty food choices that we as a nation make every day. Often we skimp on nutrient-dense, low-calorie fruits and vegetables which science tells us we need to keep our bodies working at their optimum level.
According to the NZ Heart Foundation, "fruits and vegetables contain a range of nutrients and other beneficial substances, such as fiber, antioxidants and minerals, that are good for general and cardiovascular health". In New Zealand, Dole is proud to support the 5+ A Day® programme that focuses on encouraging children to eat a healthy diet rich in fruit and vegetables.
