Family influence: Eat more fruits and vegetables!

published: 08-13-2010 Journal entry icon

A recent study published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior found that  4th and 5th grade students ate more fruits and vegetables if they helped their family shop for them, and if their parent(s) ate fruits and vegetables the day before. The bottom line: eating fruits and vegetables helps us, and the children around us, be healthier.
