Healthy Living

The amount of vegetables you need to eat depends on your age, gender, and level of physical activity. The amount each person needs can vary between 1 and 3 cups each day. Those who are very physically active may need more. Federal guidelines recommend that adults eat at least 1½ to 2 cups per day of fruit and 2 to 3 cups per day of vegetables as part of a healthy eating pattern.

Talk to your healthcare team if you have a chronic health condition in which your diet plays a huge role.
