Celebrated in September, 5-A-Day Month was developed in 1991 as a national nutrition education program. It was created by the Produce for Better Health Foundation and the National Cancer Institute. The purpose of the program is to encourage people to eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day to improve their health. Deeply hued fruits and vegetables provide the wide range of vitamins, minerals, fibers and phytochemicals your body needs to stay healthy and energetic. Eating a variety of fruits and veggies also protects against the effects of aging and reduces the risk of cancer and heart disease.
Only one in four Americans eats five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day. That is certainly not enough, especially if the three out of four who are not getting enough nutrients are your friends, family, employees, or co-workers. Look out for the health of the people you care about, and increase awareness about 5-A-Day Month. ePromos has a variety of promotional stress balls in the shape of broccoli, carrots, peppers, grapes, and many other fruits and vegetables. When recipients get stressed out, they can just give one of these stress balls a squeeze for a healthy reminder to eat fruits and veggies. We also have many items in the shape of apples, the quintessential fruit eaten once a day to "keep the doctor away"! It's a good time to get together with friends, family and co-workers to pledge to eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. With some support, it's not that hard and you will be improving your health while feeling better with each successive day!
