Fruit and Veggies Pledge!

The Santa Cruz Women’s Health Center is challenging teens to take the “Fruits & Veggies Pledge.” We are launching this program, in support of the Fruits & Veggies More Matters® brand which emphasizes the health and nutritional benefits associated with increased fruit and vegetable consumption.

You can participate by joining the “The Fruits and Veggies Pledge” on Santa Cruz Women's Health Center facebook page from Fruits & Veggies More Matters Cause. Taking the pledge means that you will:

1. Post a daily status update on your Facebook page about the fruits and vegetables you ate that day
2. Take at least three additional actions over the next six months, either choosing from a list we will provide or actions that you come up with on your own. For example, you can use interactive tools online to analyze what they ate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website: http://www.fruitsandveggiesmatter.gov/activities/analyze_my_plate.html
3. Share with others taking the pledge by posting about your actions, ideas, and experience on the “The Fruits and Veggies Pledge” Cause page.
