#### Fruits and Veggies: More Matters

#### Eating fruits and vegetables has many health benefits.

People who eat a healthy, balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables can help lower their risk for:

- Heart disease
- Type 2 diabetes
- Some types of cancer
- Obesity
- High blood pressure

Communities, health professionals, businesses, and families can work together to encourage people to eat more fruits and vegetables.

Make a difference: Spread the word about tips for healthy eating and encourage communities, organizations, families, and individuals to get involved.

#### How can Fruits and Vegetables – More Matters Month make a difference?

We can use this month to raise awareness about the importance of getting enough fruits and vegetables.

#### Here are just a few ideas:

- Spread the word about programs that support local Houston agriculture.
- Encourage families and coworkers to make small changes, like keeping fresh fruit or carrot sticks within easy reach.
- Motivate local restaurants, stores, and other businesses to provide quality foods made with fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Eat more fruits and vegetables when you are on a budget.
