Health Canada recommends 7 to 10 servings of vegetables and fruits per day, but over 60% of Albertans eat less than the minimum. Vegetables and fruits contain vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytochemicals that can reduce the risk of strokes, lower blood cholesterol, reduce cancer risks, and promote healthy weight. As health providers, we should encourage patients to eat more vegetables and fruits by highlighting these health benefits and recommending at least 7 servings per day.
