1.  How much fruit should you eat every day?

That depends on the person but I would say 3 servings would be a good number to shoot for.  I recommend a variety of fresh or fresh-frozen fruits because that way you will get a broad spectrum of nutrients.  Some of my favorites include berries, apples, pineapple, and kiwi.

2.  How do you improve cardiovascular health even better?

Like I always say, if you are challenging your body there are many ways cardiovascular health can be improved.  Running, sports, strength training, swimming, biking – whatever gets your heart pumping can in fact improve cardiovascular health.  Cardiovascular health can also be improved by getting good quality sleep every night, relaxing, and eating a diet rich in whole natural foods.  Junk food does not help cardiovascular health.
