You might be wondering, why one more?

You might be wondering, why Just One More? How does one more fruit or vegetable impact a person's overall health? One more fruit or vegetable can't make a positive difference, can it? Well, eating one more fruit or vegetable per day can be very beneficial to a student's health. Every student should aim for 3 to 5+ servings of fruits and vegetables a day, because doing so can help reduce their chance of chronic disease. Chronic diseases are very common, but can be prevented through consuming a healthy diet. Instead of replacing other parts of our diet, we encourage adding fruits and vegetables to make healthier, nutrient rich, and balanced meals. Eating just one more fruit or vegetable per day (whether it is frozen, canned, or fresh) can and will make a difference in student overall health and well being. If we improve the overall health of students, they will perform better and most importantly feel better. We named our campaign Just One More because we know the positive difference we can make for students and families throughout the Jeffco community.
