The health benefits of eating 5 A DAY

Eating a variety of fruit and vegetables will give you plenty of vitamins and minerals, as many of them are naturally high in folic acid, vitamin C and potassium. They’re also a good source of fibre and antioxidants. These are all important for your health not only now, but for the future too.

Fruit and veg are also generally low fat, low calorie foods (provided you don’t fry or roast them in lots of oil). So by choosing to eat them over less healthy foods that are high in fat and added sugars, can help you to maintain a healthier lifestyle and weight.

And if all that wasn't enough to get you down to your nearest grocers straight away, they also help reduce the risk of heart disease, some cancers and stroke.

In a nutshell, eating 5 A DAY will keep you looking and feeling good inside and out.
