Sweet Tooth? Fruit Tooth?

Tune Into Your Body

If you have good food cravings (don’t worry, we all have the bad ones too), it’s a sign that you are in tune with your body. In fact, listening to the healthy cravings your body has can be a great way to step up your fruit and vegetable intake on a daily basis.

For example, you might crave fresh-squeezed orange juice (or chocolate-covered orange peels) in the winter months. It makes sense that your body would want to boost its vitamin C stores during cold and flu season - so when you crave something healthy, obey your body.

Here are some vitamin C-rich foods that are in season right now:

• Broccoli
• Artichokes
• Avocado
• Cabbage
• Cauliflower,
• Sweet potatoes
• Celery
• Carrots
• Brussels sprouts
• Winter squash
• Beets

And don’t forget to load up on seasonal fruits like these:

• Oranges
• Grapefruits
• Apples
• Pears
• Pomegranates
• Persimmons
• Berries

Be sure to hit the next farmers market and fill up that reusable bag!
