One of my goals is to eat four (yes just four) fruits and vegetables every day. Having this goal has made a difference. Also being able to check it off on my 'Joe's Goals' scorecard is very satisfying. Now four fruit and veg is actually not enough - I checked the Canada Food Guide recently and women in my age group are to eat 7 - 8 servings daily. Sigh.
However, four is a whole lot better than two say I. Baby steps, baby steps. I'll never get there if I have to aim for eight all at once. Wednesday last week was a red letter day though because I ate six servings of the dreaded veg and fruits. I am so delightfully goal oriented!
In related news, the New York Times Health section reports that the adjectives we add to our veggies influence how willing we are to eat them. See Would you like your veggies plain or succulent?.
I'll have some burnished blueberries, blissful bannanas and charming cabbage thank you very much!
