Fruits and vegetables are a source of foods rich in vitamins and fiber. However, two types of eating these foods alone will not be enough to warrant a person perform activities of daily optimally.

Humans can not stay healthy from fruits and vegetables alone.


In addition to fruit and vegetable consumption, the body also needscarbohydrates as a source of energy and protein, which serves toreplace damaged cells. Carbohydrate intake can be obtained fromrice, bread, corn, and noodles. While proteins are the side dishes, egg whites, fish, meat, and tofu.
