Healthy Eating: What is a healthy diet? | Organic Food | 5 A Day | Free From Initiative| Freedom Food 5 A Day Here at Budgens we firmly believe in offering you great value fresh foods, delivered daily, to help you eat your recommended 5 portions of fruit and veg a day. Why 5 Portions a day? Eating five portions of fruit and veg a day is a simple way of helping to maintain a healthier lifestyle and protect yourself from illnesses such as cancer and heart disease.   But how much is 'a portion'? A portion can be one apple, one pear, one glass of fruit juice or a small bowl of tinned fruit. It needn't be a struggle eating more fruit and veg either - why not try adding a banana or strawberries to your bowl of cereal in the morning or having an apple instead of that mid-morning biscuit! But don't forget, it's not just about always having to eat healthily - it's about making food fun and enjoying what you eat! A favourite with children (and Mums too!) - pizza contains portions of tomatoes plus any of your favourite toppings such as mushrooms, sweetcorn and onions. And don't forget the baked beans - full of goodness in the tomato sauce. The earlier we can persuade our children to start eating regular portions of fruit and veg, the better - but it doesn't need to be a struggle if you know how! 5 £1 deals on fruit & veg | seasonal recipes This information is a guide only, and should not replace advice given from your healthcare professional.
