June is National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month
Fruits and vegetables provide a variety of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and fiber — while remaining naturally low in calories, fat, and sodium. Not only do they lower your risk of developing some chronic diseases, but they also help you maintain a healthy weight. June is the start of fresh fruits and vegetable season here in Michigan. Celebrate the month by visiting a local farmers’ market. Make sure to apply for the Senior Project Fresh program to receive coupons to use when buying produce at the market. Contact your local CSFP agency for more information. Here are some fresh fruit and vegetable facts: • Watermelons can keep you hydrated. They are thick skinned and 92% water. • Brussel sprouts may be the healthiest vegetable. They are packed with vitamins, minerals, and have almost zero calories, fat, or cholesterol. • Broccoli has a lot of protein. Plus, it has no fat or cholesterol. • Apples give you energy.
