Registered Dietitian Joan O’Keefe of Kansas City releases Nutrition 101 Video No. 4: why eating fruits and vegetables at breakfast is important during American Heart Month. O’Keefe says adding color to our diets can make us healthier. The antioxidants in fruits and vegetables reduce inflammation, which reduces the risk of disease. She also says people who are taking antioxidant pills are cheating themselves. For people who balk at the thought of eating nine servings of fruit and vegetables every day, she has a solution.
