From Five-a-Day to Today: How Produce Shapes Health
Manage episode 505082504 series 3261912
In this week's historic episode, we’re going back to September 8th, 2001. Cut! It’s a triple celebration — September is National Mushroom Month, National Organic Harvest Month, and, back then, it was even National Five-a-Day Week. Remember that?
While Guido is off soaking up the Hawaiian sunshine, Dan the Produce Man flies solo and welcomes Barbara Berry, Vice President of the Produce for Better Health Foundation. Barbara shares practical tips for getting more fruits and veggies into your daily diet, consumer trends from the early 2000s, and creative ways to make produce a bigger part of everyday life.
Plus, hear about studies linking produce consumption to better memory, motor skills, and overall health — and see how these health trends from 24 years ago stack up against what we know today.
