Natural Fat Blockers

Fruits and vegetables offer a spectrum of health benefits that extend far beyond their rich vitamin and mineral content. A key player in this nutrient symphony is fiber, nature's answer to managing weight and blood sugar levels. This real, natural fiber forms a protective net in your stomach that moderates glucose and insulin response, keeping you feeling satiated longer and preventing the blood sugar spikes that often lead to fat storage.

Flavor Boost

Incorporating fresh fruits and vegetables into your meals doesn't have to be tasteless and bland. You can spice up your greens with a dash of seasonings, herbs, or other flavor-enhancing condiments. Adding herbs and spices enhances the flavor of food and increases its health benefits since many contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Ovvia® does the work for you! We have more than 100 healthy recipes and meal ideas you can access online anytime!

Add Healthy Fats

Another approach is to pair your fruits and vegetables with healthy fats. Drizzle your steamed broccoli with butter, dip your artichokes in mayonnaise, or top your smoked cauliflower with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a splash of olive oil. These healthy fats enhance flavor and improve the body's absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

Visible and Accessible

A useful tip for eating more fruits and vegetables is to make them visible and easily accessible. Display them prominently to remind yourself to choose fresh foods first. Keeping fruits on your counter, in a fruit bowl, or prepared and ready in the fridge is proven to make choosing healthy snacks easier and more convenient.

Variety Is Key

As humans, we naturally crave variety. Instead of buying bulk quantities of a few types of fruits or veggies, try a mix-and-match approach. Two or three of a kind is all you need to create a diverse array of produce that adds color to your plate and ensures a broader spectrum of nutrients.

Exploring New Tastes

Expand your fruit and vegetable selection by being adventurous and trying new types. Exciting variants like donut peaches can reinvigorate your interest and make healthy eating fun! A quick online search can provide instructions on how to eat or prepare unfamiliar fruits or vegetables. Surprising friends and family with your newfound interest in a lesser-known variety is fun. My donut peaches have been a big hit this summer at my house!
