Get Fruity & Veg It Up

WLR Challenge

A Two Week Challenge starting 15th May to consume at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables every day

 

May sees a focus on fruit and vegetables in the diet. Cancer Prevention Week runs from 22nd to 28th May with a goal to increase public awareness of the links between diet, nutrition and cancer prevention, and to raise valuable funds for cancer research and education programmes. The fourteenth National Vegetarian Week (also 22nd to 28th May) aims to celebrate vegetarianism in its broadest sense and prompt media discussion on the topics of vegetarian food, health benefits, lifestyle and commitment. The aim, all round, is to drive home the message that by eating at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables everyday you can lead a healthier life and help to prevent the onset of life-threatening diseases.

 

Research has shown that most of us do not eat enough fruit and vegetables on a daily basis. In the UK 5 a day was chosen as a recommendation because it is believed this is achievable. Yet we don’t achieve this on a regular basis. This Challenge aims to change this and encourage everyone to adopt this very worthwhile habit.

 

We want you to celebrate the benefits of fruit and vegetables in your diet. Give your tastebuds an uplift by trying new flavours and textures. Be proud and feel positive about the fact you are looking after your health.

 

Tell us on the Get Fruity & Veg It Up Challenge Message Board how you are getting on; how many portions of fruit and veg are you eating each day; what do you like; what have you tried; how are you incorporating fruit and vegetables into your diet?

 

Sing a rainbow and fill your shopping basket with different coloured fruit and vegetables to eat each day. Red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue... This guarantees a good mixture of vitamins and minerals in your diet.
