Despite mom's good advice, most of us aren't eating our fruits and vegetables, at least not enough of them, according to a large government study released Thursday.
Only about 27% of adults in the USA ate vegetables three or more times a day in 2005, and 33% ate fruit two or more times a day that year.
A higher percentage of women than men ate this much, according to interviews with more than 305,000 people conducted for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Research shows that diets high in these foods decrease the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and help with weight control.
For years, the government's dietary guidelines have recommended that people eat at least two servings of fruits and at least three servings of vegetables daily. Now the guidelines are more specific, suggesting consumption of at least 2 cups of fruit and 2 1/2 cups of vegetables a day for someone eating about 2,000 calories.
The CDC's Larry Cohen says people may not be eating these nutrient-rich foods because of cost, lack of time for preparation or lack of easy access to them.
To get people to eat more of these nutrient-rich foods, the CDC, the Produce for Better Health Foundation and other leading health groups are launching a new initiative Monday called "Fruits & Veggies — More Matters." This will replace the "5 A Day" campaign.
This will be a "rallying cry" to get people to eat more fruits and vegetables, says Elizabeth Pivonka, president of the Produce for Better Health Foundation.
She says the group's research with moms shows that they know their families should be consuming more fruits and veggies, but they don't know how to work more into their diets.
"They told us that they didn't want to be lectured to or made to feel guilty or scared into eating more fruits and vegetables. They wanted help and ideas on how to do what they already know that they should do."
In an effort to do that, her group is offering a new website www.fruitsandveggiesmorematters.org.

建议人们每天至少喝两杯果汁及2种蔬菜汁,每种蔬菜汁1/2杯,(因为我觉得蔬菜用的是复数,可能应该是两个种类吧.)

“她们告诉我们，她们不想被督促或产生心虚的感觉或害怕吃更多的水果和蔬菜。他们需要帮助和建议来告诉她们应该如何做她们已经知道应该做的那些事情。 谢谢“花香肆意”的指正，已修订。
只是对于“2 1/2 cups of vegetables ” 个人认为还是2又1/2 （2.5杯的意思）
“vegetables”以复数形式存在，我认为它是指多种蔬菜。文中其他部分也皆为复数 谢谢“花香肆意”的指正，已修订。
