Fruit and vegetables contain fibre, together with a wide range of minerals and vitamins. They are low in calories and so are a healthy addition to your diet.

How much should you eat: Your aim is to eat your ‘5 a day’ which means 5 portions of fruit and veg a day. One portion is one piece of fruit, a glass of fruit/vegetable juice, a side salad or a serving of vegetables. A portion can also include the vegetables served in a lasagne, casserole or vegetable curry etc. This will help to reduce the risk of illness.
