Statistics about the Standard American Diet from the book How Not To Die by Michael Greger, M.D.:
- “Three out of four Americans are not eating one piece of fruit every single day.”
- “Nine out of ten do not meet the minimum daily intake of vegetables.”
- “96% are not eating the minimum of beans or greens for the week (3 servings).”
- “98% are not eating orange vegetables (2 servings per week – squash, bell peppers, carrots).”
- “99% do not reach the minimum of whole grains per week which is 3-4 ounces per day.”
I was shocked by these statistics, but this is the reality for some people. When you’re picking a meal, ask yourself, how can I make this healthier? What is one ingredient I could add? For example:
- add hemp seeds to this salad
- include an additional vegetable to your meal, like a carrot, or sweet potato or greens (really any!)
How to not feel overwhelmed?
- Pick one area to work on at a time! Fertility Smoothies are easy and nutrient packed. You do not have to cook anything!
- Try to eat as many fruits and vegetables as possible. We need fiber. Fiber gets rid of excess hormones and cleanses the blood. Fruits and veggies give us many vitamins, minerals and antioxidants (think egg health).
- Make a game out of it. Choose whatever is the healthiest choice in the moment. If you only have frozen vegetables on hand, that is better than no veggies at all.
