what does this mean? Have at least 5 fruit and vegetable servings daily.?

Not five of each. Just total. You could have 2 vegetables and 3 fruits and that's good.

Although the reccomended for vegetarians/vegans is 3-5 fruits and 5-8 vegetables. So I would aim for 8 or more total.

It means the bare minimum you should have is a total of five servings of fruits/veggies. For example a peach, banana, spinach salad with tomatoes and a carrot is five servings of fruits and vegetables. Really you should have more (2 to 5 fruits, 3 to 8 veggies) but 75% of Americans don't even get the 5.

Most adults should have 3 cups of vegetables and 2 cups of fruit per day. So it is 5 cups total.

it just means at least 5 portions of EITHER fruit OR vegetables, so you could eat 2 pieces of fruit and 3 vegetable portions and that would be your 5-a-day. this is the least you should have though, i aim for around 5 to 7 portions, simples! :)

It means a serving of each. So if you look on the back of a bag of lettuce, it tells you that one serving is two cups of it. That is a serving. Or carrots, 3 ounces, etc. That is if you want to be exact, but really as long as you are eating a good amount of them each day. Like if you have carrots, have a small bowl, etc. then you should be good.

I think it is good to eat fruit and vegetable but in general,I really wouldn't depend on the food pyramid for information on what to eat. Too many people with vested interests are involved in drawing them up.

It means, have 5 servings of fruit a day and 5 servings of veggies a day. A serving is 1/2-1 cup.

that's a good question! i actual had to think of for a minute earlier being waiting to respond to! you're amazing in that not each and every breastfed toddler is fit than each and every bottlefed toddler. kin history, genetics, different parenting practices, etc. additionally play a think approximately somewhat one's wellbeing. yet statistically, breastfed babies are fit. I do have faith breastfeeding is diverse than a lot of those issues because of the fact some large reward of breastfeeding are so diverse. Use a carseat so which you don't get injured or killed in a automobile accident, floss your enamel so which you don't get cavities, use sunscreen so which you don't get epidermis cancer. there is commonly in basic terms one or 2 reward to each and each of those suggestions, even regardless of the incontrovertible fact that those reward are very mandatory! With breastfeeding, there are infinite reward for mom and toddler. because of the fact the toddler is the only we are commonly doing it for, i will basically call a number of those reward: much less probably to be obese, much less picky eating, much less bronchial asthma and allergic reactions, much less threat of celiac ailment, much less ear infections, respiratory infections, and different ailments. larger IQ, much less gastro-intestinal themes including diarrheal ailment (it is actual the selection a million reason for death in toddlers in stepped forward and non-stepped forward coutries), greater self-maintain and socially adjusted, greater advantageous outcomes for untimely toddlers, decrease threat of diabetes, decrease threat of breast cancer as an person, the checklist is going on. If somebody gave me the choice to breastfeed or to apply a carseat, i might use a carseat over breastfeeding because of the fact the negative aspects are easily greater destructive. fortuitously, I won't ought to make that selection in actual existence :-) the reason breastfeeding is promoted a lot and is the source of a lot-heated debates, is by using the fact it does help get the toddler off to a stable, nicely-rounded start up that incorporates on throughout the time of the the remainder of the toddler's existence.

Just how many of these fruits or vegetable questions will we see immediately?

it doesn't mean of each-- ex. apple, carrot, berries, broccoli and lettuce would be 5 servings in one day
