June is National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month!
Fruits and vegetables provide a variety of nutrients, vitamins, minerals and fiber. According to new research, a diet filled with colorful fruits and vegetables can help fight off cancer and boost our mood. Whether we eat them as a snack, on a salad or in smoothie, it’s important to have five servings of fruit and vegetables per day. To help encourage eating more fresh fruit and vegetables, the Health and Wellness Committee is conducting a contest for an opportunity to win a gift card.
