you need about 3-5 servings of fruit a day, the more the better. :)

Reply:I've heard at least five for an adult. At least, that's the Dole campaign and what the government food pyramid recommends. I'm a 30 years old and I get at least five a day (of both fruits and veggies), counting my daily cup of OJ, as juice is to be considered a serving. The juice is fortified which is why I drink it, but it's better to get the whole fruit as it contains more nutrients and fiber. You might receive more information if you do a search for recommended servings of fruit.



Also, carefully proofread your paper before turning it in. My fifth grade teacher was a stickler for proper punctuation, grammar, etc. and this was way before it was "slang" to use numbers for words, letters for words, etc. Just some extra help. (Actually, my sister is a fifth grade teacher and she does that with her students' papers, too.)
