Think about a typical day for you. Do you sometimes get to the end of a day and have included few, if any, fruits or vegetables in your diet? When I realize that is happening to me, I have to re-evaluate my eating habits. Adding at least 5 servings is a healthy thing to do and it fills me up&#8230;so hopefully I won&#8217;t eat so many of the empty calorie snacks.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some great reasons to start eating more fruits and vegetables:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul class=\"_kYe\">\n<li class=\"_AXc\">Most vegetables and fruits are naturally low in fat and calories<\/li>\n<li class=\"_AXc\">Vegetables and fruits are important sources of many nutrients, including potassium, dietary fiber, folic acid, vitamin A, and vitamin C.<\/li>\n<li>They are fiber-rich<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here is a great soup that my family loves. It makes a big pot so you have plenty. Serve it for a great lunch. Have a cup before a meal or even as a snack. Vary the vegetables according to your personal taste.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ultalife.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/soup1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2194 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ultalife.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/soup1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ultalife.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/soup1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ultalife.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/soup1-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/ultalife.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/soup1.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Great Vegetable Soup<\/p>\n<p>2 Tablespoon olive oil<br \/>\n2 cups chopped onion<br \/>\n1 cup chopped celery<br \/>\n2 teaspoons Italian seasoning<br \/>\nSalt and Pepper to taste<br \/>\n3 14 1\/2 oz cans chicken broth<br \/>\n1 28 oz can chopped tomatoes<br \/>\n1 Tablespoon tomato paste<br \/>\n3 Cups water<br \/>\n8 cups vegetables (pick your favorites&#8211;carrots, potatoes, corn, green beans, zucchini, peas, cabbage&#8230;)<br \/>\nOptional&#8211;I add 3 or 4 bouillon cubes and about 1 Tablespoon sugar)<\/p>\n<p>Saute olive oil, onion, celery, and seasonings for 5-10 minutes.
