Eventhough we should always eat our share of fruits and veggies to stay healthy, the month of June encourages this even more. Summer brings the gorwing season and Farmer’s Markets across the country offer more and more varieties each week. In honor of Fruit and Veggies Month, check out some of hilarious fruit and veggie costumes.
I would fall over laughing if I saw a giant carrot walking down the street. And what about the ever-so-popular Banana costume… remember Bananas in Pajamas?! What a great halloween costume idea… and personalizable with your choice of pajamas! And don’t forget the little one…how cute is the peas in the pod infant costume?
So make sure to get extra fresh fruits and veggies this month. Incorporate them into your everyday recipes and diet!
- People who eat more fruits and veggies—as part of a healthy diet—are likely to have reduced risk of chronic diseases. These diseases include stroke, type 2 diabetes, some types of cancer, and perhaps heart disease.
- The CDC also recommends eating a variety of colors in your fruits and vegetables. The different colors signify the important nutrients that we need to be healthy!
