Five servings of fruits and vegetables..

I called a friend who was working as a nutritionist one day and told her that I was trying to lose weight. I asked her for some advice. She told me right off the bat eat five serving of fruits and vegetables everyday. So my next question was what is a serving? She told me a serving is about the size of your fist, an apple could almost be two servings. She also told me to make sure I ate plenty of vegetables along with the fruits. A combination of the two give us essential vitamins and minerals. this website is usefull as an educational tool. http://www.fruitsandveggiesmorematters.org/
