Sometimes it can seem like following healthy nutrition guidelines is hopelessly complicated. Super foods come and go. Recommendation change every year. We all know we should be including fruits and vegetables in our diets. But which ones? And how many?
Relax. Research shows that as few as five servings a day of produce is enough to promote good health. Two servings should be fruits. Three servings vegetables. Starchy vegetables like corn, peas and potatoes should be eaten occasionally not every day. Don't lose any sleep over the sugar in two servings of fruit.
Sure you can make it more complicated than that. For better or worse, and despite what some people will tell you, nutrition is complicated. But if you follow the two/three rule every day and include a variety of different fruits and vegetables every week, you'll be doing fine. And much better than most people are doing.
KISS
