(HealthNewsDigest.com) – The American Cancer Society recommends that you eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, but cost and availability, particularly at a time of year when fresh produce isn’t plentiful, can be an easy excuse for coming up short.
Dr. Jo Ann Carson, a nutrition expert at UT Southwestern Medical Center, says you can augment the fresh produce you find in season with canned or frozen fruits and vegetables. Frozen fruits and vegetables are picked at the height of freshness, and are therefore generally almost as nutritious as fresh produce. Some canned fruits and vegetables are even more nutritious than fresh. Just be sure to scan the ingredient label to be certain you’re not getting any added sugar, salt or fat.
