National Nutrition Week
Eat your greens!
Popeye the sailor man was onto something with his love for spinach. This year’s campaign focuses on the benefits of a healthy diet, especially with lots of fruit and vegetables.
A healthy diet should consist of at least five or more servings of fruit and vegetables daily. Including more vegetables and fruit into your diet is one of the most positive and easiest diet changes to make and has many health benefits.
Fruit and vegetables:
A healthy start
Veg it up
Set yourself a challenge and add five servings per day of fruits and vegetables to your diet. To get your five-a-day intake, include whole, easy to eat fruits, dried fruits, fruit bars and fruit chews to munch on throughout the day. Make yourself a delicious salad filled with yummy vegetables such as yellow and red peppers, pepperdews, marrows, brinjals, olives and whatever veggie your heart desires. Or try a mouth-watering fruit salad filled with summer fruits. A great way to meet your daily requirement is to have a fruit filled smoothie. Absolutely delicious.
Celebrate National Nutrition Week, make a healthy lifestyle choice and fill up on fruit and veggies galore.
