Have you eaten your fruits today?
I’m certain you already know that eating at least 5 fruits a day can help give you better health. So that I don’t forget my 5 a day, I’ve tried this system out: An apple with breakfast, a banana with lunch, and the fruit bowl in the pic above with dinner. During the day I also make sure to eat as many vegetables as I can.
We’re not getting any younger so we really gotta start eating right somehow.
Note: Per Dr. Emer, the new trend is to Shoot for 9, Aim for 7. Got it! Thanks Dr. E!
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

September 8, 2005 at 10:40 am (19 years ago)I love eating fruits kaso sometimes, nakakasawa like apples but it’s the banana lacatan na kahit ilang beses kong kainin sa isang araw nde ako magsasawa 😀

jeanny: Haha! Parehas kayo ng asawa ko. Di rin siya nagsasawa sa lacatan!

September 8, 2005 at 3:17 pm (19 years ago)I agree to eating right. Kaso, I always run out of fruits sa bahay… Puede bang substitute ang eating of carrots, cucumber, tomatoes and lettuce instead of fruits? 😀

September 8, 2005 at 4:02 pm (19 years ago)hey, toni! if dennis comes, or you with him, text niyo ako. hopefully nasa davao ako by that time. make sure to bring lots of fruits pag uwi! and maybe you can try our nefarious durian. hehehe!
some trivia, one of our farm coordinators commented that we should start eating all the fruits that we can kasi baka walang produce next year dahil overabundant this year. so pahinga ang mga trees sa susunod na taon. though it won’t be much of a problem for manila kasi may mga imported fruits dito. here in davao, we’ll feel the price discrepancy when the time comes.
just had about half a kilo of lanzones minutes ago. yum.

September 8, 2005 at 4:37 pm (19 years ago)linnor: pwede yun! according to the site i linked, pwede naman ang veggies. 😉
anj:yum lanzones! i love that. thanks for the tip. gotta start eating more and more fruits with that lead!

September 8, 2005 at 9:23 pm (19 years ago)hi toni! pwede ba a spoonful of fruit salad na lang to complete the 5 fruits a day? he, he.
dexie
September 8, 2005 at 11:55 pm (19 years ago)yes Ma’am. peaches, bananas, apples and strawberries po ang favorite
Dr Emer
September 9, 2005 at 2:38 am (19 years ago)The trend now from 5 fruit servings per day is, shoot for 9, aim for 7. The more fruits we eat, the better.
And to answer Paz, no a spoonful of fruit salad does not qualify. We’re talking fresh fruits here, not the canned ones.

September 9, 2005 at 2:44 am (19 years ago)hi toni! wow, you really know your stuff. ako den i try the 5-a-day plan kasi we are being reminded of it everywhere. like fruit juice cartons (the unconcentrated kind) would have a reminder saying that a glass of fruit juice can count towards it. oh and definitely veg too
jey
September 9, 2005 at 7:45 am (19 years ago)what i do sometimes is put 4 fruits in a blender (4 seasons?) ala lush with ice and milk. sarap. but i still make sure to get my daily dose of fruits. sabi mo nga, we’re not getting any younger.:)
Toni
September 9, 2005 at 1:14 pm (19 years ago)paz : I think Dr. Emer just answered ya!
dexie : Mmmm sarap!
Dr Emer : Shoot for 9, aim for 7. Got it! Thanks for that update!
denden : Good for us that our consciousness is raised din diba!
jey : That’s a great idea! 5-a-day juice shake.
