    How much is a serving of vegetables? 5 servings seems like a lot unless you are doubling up at each meal. I do the rest.

    I meet them all - guess I'm part of the 3%. But I'll bet I am not even in the upper 50% for overall health.

    "According to a new study, just 3% of Americans have optimal heart health. Even if you think you’re doing everything right, check out the list of nine heart-healthy items and see where you rank."

    Nine criteria:
    – No high blood pressure

    – No high cholesterol

    – No diabetes

    – Not overweight

    – Not underweight

    – Not obese

    – Don’t smoke

    – Do at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity a week

    – Eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day


    How many on the list do you meet? Just curious.

    8/9. I don't eat enough fruits and veggies.

    I think the vegetables and fruits. I might not get all 5 every day...otherwise, I am close to the 3%. The charts say I am not overweight, even though I want to lose 7 more pounds.

    A great list to strive to be 100%!

    Good question!

    Not yet, 6 out of 9 would be 7, but until nerve root surgery I am bed/couch surfing.

    6/9. I smoke pipes (but as Bill Clinton said I didn't inhale) and don't get 5 servings of fruits and veggies every single day. I am still a bit over weight but getting closer to not.
