Fruits and vegetables are clearly an important part of a good diet. Almost everyone can benefit from eating more of them, but variety is as important as quantity. No single fruit or vegetable provides all of the nutrients you need to be healthy. The key lies in the variety of different fruits and vegetables that you eat.
Some basic fruit and vegetable tips:
• Try to eat more fruits and vegetables. If you need 2,000 calories a day to maintain your weight and health, aim for at least nine servings (4½ cups) a day.
• Choose a variety of different fruits and vegetables. It's easy to get into a rut when it comes to the food you eat. Break out and try a wider variety - include dark-green, leafy vegetables; yellow, orange, and red fruits and vegetables; cooked tomatoes; and citrus fruits.

As the first poster said, all fruits and veggies are good. I've heard and/or read that a rainbow of them a day is good. I've also heard and/or read (likely read, as I read "Experience Life", "Body and Soul", "Energy Times" and other health/fitness magazines) that the darker the color, the better.
I prefer frozen over fresh, unless I'm buying from the farmer's market. (At the farmer's market at which I shop, the produce
might be picked as late as this morning, but no earlier than yesterday afternoon; I'll be going there at 10.) Frozen produce is frozen just a few hours after harvest, and avoids the processing and sodium additions of canned. "Fresh" store produce travels miles and gets manhandeled many times before I even touch it.
In addition to the fruits and veggies, I also eat plenty of whole grains, soy, beans and veggie "meat", but only on occasion, a they are expensive. (Though I'm happy that my meat eating husband has shown interest in trying them. He wasn't too keen on the veggie chick'n nuggets, but said that maybe it's like beer, to which I also introduced him too and he is now more of a beer aficionado than me. I digress.)
As for drinks, I drink mostly soy milk (usually with my breakfast cereal), and water and orange juice. I'll have the occasional diet natural ginger ale when my heartburn kicks in and/or I have an unhappy tummy. (I've found out that Diet Sierra Mist works, too, but with my pregnancy, I'll go the natural route first.)
I also agree with reading the labels and knowing what's in them. I stay away from things that are unnatural-- corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oils, hydrogenated oils, artificial colors and flavors, anything else that looks as though it was created in a chemistry lab.
I hope this helps.

Try low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein, and exercise. The foods are low caloried, and yet filling and healthy. Brisk walking is great for burning body fats.
It is my lifestyle now. I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and a hour brisk walk 5 times a week, and I have lost 31lbs/14kg and gained better health. I am now maintaining my 108lbs/49kg for more than a year, with more fruits and complex carbs.
Details such as my experience, meals, snacks, recipes, foods to buy, reading labels, walking as an exercise and to shape the body etc etc, are in my blog

All of them are good.Apple Cider vinegar in water,tea spoon only in one glass will help a lot. But watch your diet.Whatever you buy read what is in it. Learn what all the numbers mean.and shy from all toxins use only garden fresh produce and cook all yourself. Aloe Vera and garlic are the top herbs in your life. Have a good day.
