Have you Had your Five a Day?
14/01/09
Fresh fruit and veg for a healthy diet.
Your health is important; you don’t need us to tell you that. A person’s health can affect their lifestyle, how they feel and what they can do. Likewise, a person’s lifestyle can affect their health. Health is on everyone’s lips this year as we are inundated with the dos and don’ts of health and wellbeing.
Have you had your five a day?
A shocking proportion of the population actually hasn’t, but believe in earnest that they have. The advertising for the five a day has been poor at best and the information that is most getting through is from food companies advertising their products as “One of your five a day” to cash in on this health advice. What people don’t understand is what constitutes a portion. Many believe having two or three apples, for instance, counts as three portions. This is not the case; the daily recommended amount of fruit and vegetables is based on the idea of you having five separate portions of different fruits and vegetables.
