5 A DAY WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?

Fruit and vegetables are key to a healthier lifestyle. What's more, they taste great and add variety to any meal.

These just few points why you should eat fruit and vegetables everyday:

• Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables will give you plenty of vitamins and minerals. For example, many are naturally high in folate (folic acid), vitamin C and potassium. Fruit and vegetables are also a good source of fibre and other substances, such as antioxidants. I want you all to remember that all these nutrients are important for our heath.
• Fruits and vegetables are generally low fat, low calorie foods. so eating fruits and vegetables instead of foods that are high in fat and added sugars may help you achieve or keep to a healthy weight.
• Eating more fruits and vegetables may help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and some cancers.

Honestly, they are so many tastes, colours and textures to choose from. So give it a try and become part of the five a day family.
