Phytonutrients are plant nutrients found in fruits, vegetables and other sources that are associated with a variety of health benefits, such as eye, bone, joint and heart health, as well as supporting the immune system and brain health.
Obstacles that could affect fruit and vegetable consumption globally:
- Busy lives
- Availability
- Geography
- Cost
- Culturally specific food
Most adults would need to at least DOUBLE their current intake of fruits and vegetables to meet the recommended minimum of five servings (or 400 grams) of fruits and vegetables per day.
Simple steps to increase the quantity and variety of phytonutrients in your diet:
- Eat at least five servings (400 g) of colourful fruits and vegetables per day.
- Power up your plate with a variety of fruits and vegetables to get a range of health benefits.
- When diet is not enough, consider plant-based supplements.
