What mom knows best also makes her feel best! According to a recent press release by the Produce for Better Health Foundation (PBH), the results of an online survey of moms show that they associate eating fruits and vegetables with positive, happy emotions. Many moms said they feel like a "good mother" when feeding fruits and vegetables to their families.
Yet while over 90% of moms say it's important to include fruits and veggies in family meals, more than half say their families do not eat enough. Why not? The more common barriers to eating fruits and vegetables were:
1. Fussy eaters or varying family preferences
2. Fresh produce spoiling too quickly
3. Lack of fruits and vegetable varieties in restaurants
Moms taking the PBH survey are not alone in their low fruit and veggie consumption. Only 23% of adults and 19% of high school students in Georgia eat at least 5 servings (~2 cups) per day. The recommended daily intake of fruits and vegetables ranges from 2 to 6 cups depending on an individual's calorie needs.
To help moms and all Americans consume more fruits and vegetables, PBH and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are introducing practical strategies and tips called Get Smart! Fruits & Veggies--More Matters. The tips help moms include more fruits and veggies in snacks and meals by showing moms that it is relatively easy. The program emphasizes all forms of fruits and veggies: canned, dried, frozen, and 100% juice in addition to fresh produce.
The Get Smart! tips are being released this month, which is National Nutrition Month and the one year anniversary of Fruits & Veggies--More Matters, a national health initiative to promote fruit and veggie consumption among all Americans. Get Smart! tips and strategies can be found on the web at www.fruitsandveggiesmorematters.org. Look for specific articles including "As You Shop", "In Your Family Dinner" and "Eating on the Go". Additional tips will be posted throughout the year.
