5 a day fruits and veggies. What about dried apricots?!


Question: 5 a day fruits and veggies!. What about dried apricots!?
So dried apricots, on the package it says there are 5 dried apricots in a serving and that has 90 calories!. Is this one serving of fruit that I can count toward the 5 per day!? Or is each apricot a serving toward 5 a day!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Sure, you can count the dried fruit!. For sure!. Dried fruit is a concentrated form of the nutrients in the whole fruit!. Very portable, too!.

The whole serving is composed of five apricots!. A single apricot is 1/5 of a serving!.

So five servings of apricots per day would be 25 apricots in a day!. Probably not a good idea to get so much Vitamin A to the exclusion of other nutritions!. A balance is important!.

Also, drink plenty of water with dried fruit, so you don't get constipated!.

Hope that helps!.

This serving of fruit means that you should eat 5 per day not 5 apricots a serving toward 5 days!.!.!. :]Www@Answer-Health@Com
