Every season brings with it some amazing, tasty and colorful fruits and vegetables. However, summer is the time to enjoy everything it offers. This is the time when fruits and vegetables taste their best. Everyone including kids and adults enjoy their flavors without realizing their importance and the nourishment they provide. As you read further, you will find out why you need to eat fruits and vegetables.

Why Take Fruits and Veggies
Most fruits and vegetables contain essential minerals and vitamins. Besides, they provide fiber, a component that usually lacks in our diet. It’s also a proven fact that those who take fruits and veggies in sufficient amounts will have reduced risk of various diseases as compared to those who take them in lesser amount. Apart from preventing chronic diseases, the daily consumption of fruits and veggies helps fight cancer, diabetes type 2, hypertension and other heart diseases.

The best part is that fresh vegetables and fruits have less caloric content and less fat which make them suitable for dieting. You can substitute your high caloric food with healthy fruits and veggies. They have all the essential minerals and nutrients needed for vitality. Additionally, taking raw foods is the best to keep you hydrated. If consuming them raw every time seems hectic, then you can put your home juicer to use. Make some exotic juices that can fulfill your appetite and nutrient requirement while reducing weight.

Take Every Fruit and Vegetable of the Season
The colorful fruits and vegetables all appeal to the eye. But still, there are some people who shy away from some particular food because of their own personal preference. If you have any such reservations, then the best way to consume that fruit or vegetable is to make its juice with a  juicer.
 
A Fruit/Vegetable for Every Meal
You might find corn, wheat and potatoes really fulfilling for your meal and they also have a nutritional value. Fruits such as apple, apricot, and banana are healthy too but they also have more calories. Intake of too much calories is not healthy at all. Besides, such fulfilling meals also lack phytonutrient protection. Hence, if you like snacks, take raw vegetables or their juices. And when it’s dessert time, take fruits rather than those creamy and fattening desserts. Include more fresh and leafy vegetables in your diet.
