Greetings!
Would you like some help with losing weight, eating
more healthfully, or encouraging loved ones to do the
same?
Losing weight and/or changing eating habits may
seem hopeless, or at the very least a daunting
challenge. But what if you have helpful information
that gives you inspiration and encouragement? You
can count on us! Look for each issue of the Fruit
Connection, full of tips and more delicious recipes
using fresh fruits and vegetables. And new this year:
free brochures. See below for this month's offer!

The Produce for Better Health Foundation created
helpful brochures that you can get for free from
Fruition.
Here are 2 offered for the month of January:
"Fruits & Vegetables: Leading the Way to Weight
Control", and "GR84U".
"GR84U" is geared towards teens, encouraging them
to eat more fruits and veggies during this vital growth
period.
How can you request these brochures?
Send an email to
fruit@fruitiongifts.com with
"brochures" as the subject.
Include your name, mailing address, and which
brochure(s) you'd like.
When we mail your brochures, we'll also include a
coupon for an additional 5% off a home delivery

yourself, or to save on an edible gift for someone
who doesn't need any more "stuff"!
