Study Shows Americans Are Not Consuming Enough Fruits and Vegetables

As the gap between the recommended and actual amounts of fruit and vegetables Americans consume increases, there may be more room for ingredients made from the powder or extract versions of these foods.

The US Department of Agriculture recently boosted its recommendations for fruit and vegetable consumption in its newest guidelines. A new study published in this month's issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association simultaneously found most of the population hasn't even been able to keep up with the previous, less stringent guidelines.

The odds of consumers meeting the newer guidelines for nutrient intake through eating fresh vegetables alone consequently look even bleaker and more unlikely. The study conducted by researchers at the USDA and the National Cancer Institute found in 1999 to 2000, just 40 percent of the American population met the then-current recommendations to eat an average of five or more servings of fruits and vegetables per day. The figures were as low as ten percent among girls age four to eight, and still have a failing grade at the highest range of 60 percent among men ages 51 to 70.

The researchers conclude their report with a call to action:

"Nutrition and other healthcare professionals must help consumers realize that for everyone over the age of 3 years, the new recommendations for fruit and vegetable intake are greater, and in many cases much greater, than the familiar five servings per day."

Best Wishes for Ultimate Health and Majestic Dreams !!!!

Tips to Keep Your Business Hot!

Here is an idea to help build and inspire your team: Hold your own Monday morning conference call with your leaders. Use this time to discuss at least three things you intend to focus on or accomplish during the week. I think you will find that when you share what you intend to accomplish with others, plus what you're committing to do, both you and your team will be more inspired to take action. If you are new, try gathering fellow distributors together who are interested in using the power of group focus to grow their business. Using a conference-type call is time-efficient and cost-effective for team-building activities.
