You’ve grown up hearing that you should eat your fruits and vegetables. Your Mom probably repeated it a zillion times. Then your teachers, at school. And of course you know you should eat your fruits and veggies.

But question is: are you? Have you been listening to that gold-plated advice?

Before you just wave this post away, I urge you to spend a minute to read WHY fruits and veg are crucial for your health. I am saying this especially because these days, lifestyles are hectic and people are super-busy chasing their to-do lists.

On top of that, they wonder why they’re not feeling energetic.
