Fruits and Veggies Can Save you Money!

Did you know fruits and veggies can save you money?! In a 25-year study of 1,070 men, ages 40-55 years old and free of heart disease, researchers measured healthcare costs. When divided into groups based on fruit and vegitable intake those that consumed less than 14 cups per MONTH spent $14,700 per year in medical costs. Those that consumed 12-42 cups per month spent almost 15% less ($12,600 annually). But those that ate 42 cups (3 or more 1/2 cup servings per day) had the most significat savings! These men saved about 23% on their annual medical costs ($11,400). (Source: American Heart Association)
