Fruitful Weight Loss





Reaching for the fruit bowl more often could help keep your weight from creeping higher.

A recent study analyzing changes in dietary patterns over a period of time revealed that people who consumed more servings of fruit than they did 6 years prior were least likely to have gained weight among the groups studied. Keep apples, oranges, plums, and pears on hand as ready companions to your weight-maintenance efforts.

RealAge Benefit: Eating a diverse diet that includes 4 servings of fruit per day can make your RealAge as much as 4 years younger.
