So three six to three three servings of leafy Green Street serving three servings up legumes, please servings of nuts and sees three servings of other vegetables three servings of fruits, and the other one is exercise three doses of exercise, so, That's a way to prioritize what you're eating. So leafy green vegetables fruits making sure you're getting all of those really Health promoting Foods in your diet on a daily basis.
