We all know the 5ADAY message but why is it so important, what are the benefits to us and how much is a portion?
In this short video, I walk you through:

What a portion of fruit or veg looks like
Easy ways to start building 5ADAY into your meals and your day
Remember, fruit juices, smoothies and pulses like baked beans only ever count as 1 portion in a day, regardless of how much you have.
It's all about getting into a routine that works for you - starting small and gradually improving. So for example, you could try snacking on fruit or veg, or balancing your meals to include a little more veg. No overwhelm, just good habits that are enjoyable and work with your lifestyle.
How will you start working towards your 5 a day? One portion more is a great place to begin.
