The number of Americans
who know they should eat five
or more servings of fruits and
vegetables a day has more
than quadrupled - from 8 to 34
percent - since the 5 A Day For
Better Health Program began
in 1991. But how many people
actually eat 5 servings of fruit
and vegetables a day?
For the second consecutive
year, the District Health
Department is encouraging
putting that awareness into
practice during National 5 A
Day Week, Sept. 8-14, and to
“Take The 5 A Day Challenge.”
National 5 A Day Week is a
great opportunity to reinforce
the 5 A Day message.
Supported by the North
Carolina 5 A Day Coalition in
partnership with the National
Cancer Institute and the pro
ducers for better health, con
sumers are encouraged to
taste the world of variety
available in fruits and vegeta
bles.
“The District Health
Department’s hope is that the
people in our communities
will experience how easy it is
to eat more fruits and vegeta
bles by trying it throughout
the week and continue to eat
the 5 a day way throughout
their lifetime,” said Brenda
Moore, registered dietitian
with PPC.
“Take the 5 A Day
Challenge” is a national pro
motion that relies on the
strength of communities
across the country to encour
age area residents to challenge
friends, family and coworkers
to eat the recommended five
daily servings of fruits and
vegetables during National 5 A
Day Week.
“Many people in our area
only need to add two servings
of fruits and vegetables every
day to reach the 5 a day mini
mum,” according to Moore,
“Have a 6-ounce glass of 100
percent juice and a medium
piece of fruit in the morning
and you’ve already enjoyed
two servings at the very begin
ning of your day. It’s easy, it’s
delicious, and it’s effective. AU
the varieties of fruits and veg
etables - fresh, frozen, canned,
dried, and juice - count in the
challenge. Dried, canned, and
frozen items are included
unless they have added fat. All
fruits and vegetables are pro-
motable, with the exception of
avocados, olives, coconut and
nuts.”
Research has determined
that about 35 percent of all
cancer deaths in the United
States may be related to diet.
Eating five or more servings of
fruits and vegetables daily
may significantly reduce the
risk of some types of cancer,
lower the risk of heart disease,
boost energy levels, and gener
ally improve overall health.
And it’s simple.
Even for the growing num
ber of the district’s residents
who are always on the go,
increasing fruit and vegetable
consumption is simple and
produces numerous health
benefits. Getting 5 a day is eas
ier than many people think.
For instance, contrary to some
misconceptions, a 5 a day serv
ing is not very big. One serv
ing size is defined as one medi
um fruit, 3/4 cup (6 ounces) of
100 percent fruit or vegetable
juice, 1/2 cup cooked or
canned vegetables or fruit, one
cup of raw leafy vegetables,
1/2 cup dried peas or beans, or
1/4 cup dried fruit.
During the month of
September, North Carolina’s
northeastern district’s resi
dents are encouraged to look
for apples, green beans, cab
bage, cucumbers, grapes,
greens, sweet potatoes, pump
kin, squash, and tomatoes.
When preparing these fresh
pickings, remember to rinse
with clear water before eating
and remove the outer leaves of
leafy vegetables.
