Well-being - 5-a-day<\/span><\/h3>[vc_column_text]\n

Take care of yourself by eating 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201c5-a-day\u201d campaign is a scientific programme launched in the US by the National Cancer Institute in 1989. The formula is very simple: eat at least 5 portions (between 500 and 800 g in total) of fruit and vegetables per day, in order to give your body all the vitamins, minerals and dietary fibres it needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is it important to eat fruit and vegetables at least 5 times a day?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you look at the tables which show, in descending order, the nutritional content in a serving of different foods, you may be surprised to see that foods of animal origin, rather than fruit and vegetables, often come first. This may be surprising as most people think that some nutrients, such as vitamins, are only found in fruit and vegetables! In reality, even foods of animal origin are a source of vitamins and minerals. Indeed, the best sources of certain vitamins such as PP are found in meat and fish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So why are we advised to eat 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To understand this, we must consider that every food offers an array of nutrients: there are no good foods and bad foods, because there are no good and bad nutrients, just some nutrients that require a moderate intake.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” remove_bottom_col_margin=”true”][vc_column]
