Q: How much fruit and vegetables should I eat daily?

A: According to American Heart Association, adults should consume 2 cups of fruit and 2.5 cups of vegetables daily. Remember vegetables cook down easily, so about 2.5 cups of cooked vegetables. If the vegetable is leafy greens, about 5 cups raw.
