2 Fruit & 5 Veg – Can you do it?

This fortnights challenge commences TODAY 03 AUG – MON 16 AUG and consits of lots of fruit &/or vegetables!!!

Over the 2 weeks you are required to ingest EITHER 2 serves of fruit OR 5 serves of vegetables. Ideally we should be consuming both each day, however, for this challenge you are required to do only ONE. If you do both, that is a bonus for you, but it does not exempt you from missing out on another day!

What is a serve I hear you ask???

FRUIT

1 serve = 1 cup of chopped fresh or canned fruit

VEG

1 serve = 1/2 cup cooked chopped veg OR 1 cup chopped raw veg (cooked veg is less as most veg usually reduce in size when cooked)

Here are some benefits to start you off on your new health kick-

Consuming 2 Fruit and/or 5 veg can help prevent-

1.Coronary Heart Disease

2. Some types of Cancer

3. Overweight and Obesity

4. Constipation (yay we can all be regular with our poos!!)

It can also-

5. Reduce BP and Cholesterol

6. Control Diebetes
