others dont like fruits and vegetables...they usually eat meat and other meat related foods...i just visited my mom yesterday and the sad news is my mom is very sick, she had these heart enlargement and liver problems and my mom will grasp for air even of a little walk to the comfort room and i really so worried about her..my mom is not fond of eating fruits and vegis and maybe this is the reason for this condition because her doctor advise her to eat more of fruits now...i think you try eating now of these foods....how about you do you eat fruits regularly?

yes of course!!! fruits and vegetables are good for the health. when i was still a child, my mother discipline us to eat all kinds of vegetables. i have experienced begging my mom to consider because i can't finish a plate with vegetables as my viand. but good thing she raised us that way. now, we eat vegetables but there are just really some kind that i don't eat. i have no problem with eating fruits because i love fruits ever since. it's really, really good.

actually from my own experience kids who loves to eat fruits and vegis are more resistant to some sickness, and what i did observe lately my niece who is very fond of eating fruits and vegis do good in school actually she ranks 2nd out of the best section in her grade 1 elementary while my kids and other nephews are somehow goes the other way around for being choosy of their food.

Sorry to hear about your mom, if I may ask how old is she??? How does someone get an enlarged heart???? I hope it can be treated with fruits and vegs. I myself love fruits and alot of vegs. Im just not sure how I would be able to convince someone else (ecspecially my mother)to eat them!! :o) I hope she gets better. God bless

shes 73 at present..maybe she got this thing from her diet and some emotional stress lately...actually my mom is naturally hyper active but lately being old she cant do the same thing she was usually doing years before..and being only at home and feeling sleepy all the time and seeing my sister problem all day long makes my mom health to deteriorate, maybe the food she is fond of eating like pork and meat products and the lack of fruits and vegis had added in to her health condition right now...thanks anyway for this kind words from you friend and i really appreciate your concern toward my mom....

YES I do. That's all I eat. I eat no meat or by products of animals. And I am as healthy as ever. I'm proud to announce that I AM A VEGAN. Help your Mom get the best of the fruit and veggie world lots of them have more proteins than meat. Like peanuts, almonds they have more proteins than meat. Do some rearch and help her out. Best of Health to your mom.

I'm fond of eating vegetables and fruits even on my younger days.But still I have relatively the same illness as your mother.I get tired easily and can't do the same activities like I used to do.It's not only the food that we eat that affects our body.Too much stress is also one of the reasons.The surroundings that we have also affects our health.No matter how much we eat fruits and vegetables we are still prone to this sickness.

yes to what you have said, having this kind of sickness is sometimes due to some emotional factors,lifestyles,environment and hygiene...emotional factors are something that really affect our health so much, specially when we have problem,stress and other worries and anxieties that aggravates our health...and the food we are eating have nothing of help when overwhelmed with this kind of emotional stress...i think my mom was one of this cases..for she worries much of my sister present marital status...

i'm sorry for your mom arnoldream... maybe you could help encourage your mother to eat fruits and veggies.... it will really help her recover fast I am fond of eating veggies and fruits, actually i could live without a pork or chicken in a week... i really love eating vegetables and fruits not only because they are healthy to eat but also i like the taste of veggies and fruits. i believe that if you really want to live long, everyone of us should always include vegetables or fruits in our meals.

thanks for that kind words from you friend...i really feel sorry about my mom...and since she is not with me, i cant even look and take care of her in this kind of situation...it will make me at least to visit her often and bring her fruits specially grapes which i believe will do much good for her recovery from these ailments...

I do eat vegetables but not all of it. My mom is making sure that we are getting proper nutritions so she make sure that we have vegetables every other day or thrice in a week. Not all of us likes vegetables but we do eat vegetables because we need it, our body needs it and as for fruits, if I can't have it everyday, I am making sure I have it every week.
