For nearly a century, fruits and
vegetables have been recognized as a good source
of certain nutrients. The USDA and National
Institutes of Health recommend five to nine
servings of fruits and vegetables per day.
Unfortunately, about 70 % of Americans do not
get the recommended amounts of fruits and
vegetables daily. The beneficial nutrients in
fruits and vegetables are made up of "phyto
nutrients" and these nutrients have complex
functions.
flavonoids - Plant Chemicals that
act like antioxidants
saponins -
Complex plant nutrients
phenols -
Organic compounds in fruits and vegetables
carotenoids - Vitamin A like
compounds
isothiocyanates - Sulphur -
containing compounds
dietary fiber
glucosinolates - found exclusively in
cruciferous vegetables
phytoestrogens
- natural estrogens that help maintain normal
hormone levels.
"The average person suffers from an
annual fruit and vegetable deficit ranging from
a low of 219 servings to a high of 1,679
servings."
