Get Five A Day @ (NAPSA)—Byincluding a mix of fruits and vegetables in a lowfat diet, you can help maintain a healthy heart, memory function, vision health, strong bones and teeth and even lower yourrisk of some cancers. Experts suggest eating five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables each day. Serving sizes are probably smaller and easier to fit in than you think. The Alliance for Affordable Services, an associa- tion dedicated to helping members live better and save more, offers these examples of fruit and veggie serving sizes: 1 medium-size fruit % cup (6 oz.) of 100 percent fruit/vegetable juice % cup of fresh, frozen or canned fruit (in 100 percent juice) or veg- etables 1 cup of raw leafy vegetables % cup cooked dry peas or beans M% cup dried fruit. The Alliance uses its group buying power to attack soaring health care costs through wellness programs, information, legislative advocacy and incentives to control medical costs.
