    Who here gets there 5 fruit and vegetable servings a day?

    I am about to enjoy a bowl of pineapple, mandarin oranges, cantaloupe, grapes, and bananas before i smoke a bowl after spending from like 2-4:30 am cleaning out my bloody refrigerator.

    this is an interesting excerpt from an article:
    "Yet studies show that by eating four to five servings of fruit each day, you can improve your chances of staying healthy and vibrant as you age. That's because fruit is loaded with phytochemicals, which are natural compounds that may help slow the aging process and reduce the risk of many diseases.

    Phytochemicals fight to protect your overall health by providing antioxidant effects, stimulating your immune system, modulating the metabolism of your hormones, and acting as antibacterial and antiviral agents. Get too few of these marvelous compounds and you set yourself up for premature aging, as well as placing yourself at risk for some cancers, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, cataracts, osteoporosis and urinary tract infections. But if you eat the recommended amount of fruit each day, you improve your odds for a healthier life."

    Dont eat the cantaloupe!!!!! I did and I got salmonella poisoning and have felt like shit for 5 days. fever, chills, joint pain, nausea.. mine is only mild. be careful. I think it knows im trying to kill it, and its giving me hell. the rest sounds really good though. I get more vegetables than fruit, though not 5 a day. maybe 3..

    haha no need to be dickie man. i want to eat healthly but imo i dont like the taste of most veggies. i like corn on the cob, thats good, but i normally end up drowning that in butter and pepper. i do like fruit though, but i have none and could get no real food yesterday as my parents were in the hospital.
