Not Enough Fruit

Vegetables and fruits are important components of the human diet and should be a major part of the human daily diet. Fruits are a great source of potassium, vitamin C, folic acid, and dietary fiber—all important nutrients that are often under-consumed. For 7.5% of the diet-related cardiometabolic deaths studied, the daily recommended fruit intake was skipped.

Vitamins A, C, E, and K, as well as minerals like potassium, magnesium, and calcium, are rich in fruits. They have antioxidant properties and are a good source of dietary fiber. Because it is impossible to obtain all these nutrients from a single fruit or vegetable, a variety of fruits and vegetables should be consumed. It's recommended for most adults that 2 cups of fruit every day, it's super important to get enough servings of colorful foods each day.
