Wednesday, February 20, 2008 Page 15A FAMILY FEATURES Vegetables: The More the Merrier! ating vegetables is one of the most important things you can do for your health. In fact, a growing body of science shows a vegetable-rich diet can help you control calories and lose weight, and also may help reduce risk factors associated with heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. EYet nine out 10 U.S. adults aren’t meeting the daily recommended intake for vegetables and fruit.1 Why? Some of the most common barriers are convenience and taste. In fact, a recent survey reveals that nearly 60 percent of respondents said that if vegetables tasted better, they would likely eat more each day.2 The good news is that a little creativity can go a long way in making vegetables taste good. One of the latest innovations from the makers of V8 vegetable juice, which has been delivering vege - table nutrition for 75 years, is V8 V-Fusion — a unique blend of vegetables and fruit that delivers a light, sweet taste. Each 8-ounce glass provides a full serving of vegetables and a full serving of fruit, plus antioxidant vitamins A, C and E. That’s great news for more than half of the women surveyed who said they prefer the taste of fruit over vegetables.3 Also consider new and innovative options like a mango and avo cado salad, a refreshing granita, or sneak extra vegetables into favorites like pasta or lasagna. Vegetable guru and best-selling cookbook author Mollie Katzen says the sky’s the limit when it comes to ways to enjoy eating your vegetables. “There are hundreds of ways to make vegetables flavorful and fun. Experi - ment with all different types and combinations to find something that tanta lizes your taste buds.” Here are some tips to get you on your way to eating more veggies!
