Eat Healthy
Fruit and vegetables help set you up for a healthier lifestyle. Best of all, there is so much variety to choose from, all year long, there's enough to keep even the fussiest eaters happy.
To get the best health benefits, your 5 A DAY portions should include a combination of a variety of fruit and vegetables. That's 5 portions altogether, not 5 portions of fruit and 5 portions of veg. Confused to what a portion is? It is around 80g which as a rough guide is a handful, if you can fill your hand with the fruit or veg, then that counts as one portion.
